The Index_Entry macro (CTRL+V, I) adds hidden index codes (.i. and ;) to a selection.

The Index macro (CTRL+V, 8) adds hidden index codes (based on a list that you specify) to words in a document. The macro requires that you provide the list of words in a separate document, with one word per line. Hidden text must be displayed on the screen in order for the index to compile correctly.
