Index specifications include the following: Index Format: Indented or Run-in? Alphabetization: Word-by-word or Letter-by-letter? Depth of Indexing: How many Levels are Allowed? Cross-reference Format Footnotes Indexable? If yes, Format for Reference Locator. Illustrations Indexable? If yes, Format for Reference Locator. Length Limit to Final Index?
