= SUMMARY =

Text in a footnote or a running head is not included in an index when using the Library Index command in Word versions 3.00, 3.10, 3.11, and 4.00.

In Word versions 5.00 and later, footnote text cannot be included in an index, but running head text can be included. However, the only page number indicated in the index will be the first page on which the running head appears.

Index entries for text in footnotes or running heads must be inserted manually into an index after it is created.

Another workaround is to insert on the appropriate page in the document a copy of the text along with its index code, and to format it all as hidden text. When the Library Index command is executed, the hidden index entry is included in the index along with its corresponding page number.
