Vision’s Edge’s IndeXTension ($99) is a professional indexing XTension for QuarkXPress 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 that allows you to mark words or phrases in multiple documents, and then generate an index from those marked words.
Faster and more advanced than the indexing feature built into QuarkXPress, IndeXTension lets you mark all occurrences of an entry at once, or load a list of keywords for automatic marking. It recognizes proper names and titles and alphabetizes them appropriately. You can also tell it to group entires into categories, so that they appear under that category in the index, in addition to their own entry.
If you’re creating an index for a project in QuarkXPress, this is the tool to get.

Hello,
We will be revising our 700 page architectural price book. It contains thousands of part and extrusion number entries. Previous designers have manually created an index in Excel. If we purchased the IndexTension software shown above, how well can it manage a large number of entries? Does it require manually placing index markers as in QuarkXpress 4? Or – I am hoping – can it read a text file listing of parts, and locate them in the book?
Thank you for your time!
