Type – Indented provides a much neater look with each entry appearing on a new line,
whereas Run‐in displays entries one after the other, displaying multiple entries on the same
line if there is room.
Columns – this setting determines how many columns will be used to display the index. The
most common choice is 1.
When an index is added, Word 2010 collects all the index entries, sorts them alphabetically,
references their page numbers, finds and removes duplicate entries from the same page, and
displays the index in the document.
You will find that, whereas words and phrases that are indexed will be displayed with their
individual page numbers, bookmarked text that spans multiple pages will be displayed with its
page range.
