To add an index entry to any index, use the Help Producer AddKeyword field. The AddKeyword field can be used to add keywords to the following indexes:

• "K" index or keyword index. This index is visible in the index pane of the help viewer.
• "A" index or associative index. This index is used to reference topic pages by name.
• "F" index or context index. This index is used to keywords to context-sensitive Help topics typically accessed by the user through the keyboard or a UI.
• "Named URL" index. This index provides access to home, default, and navigation failure pages.

In order to create "K", "A", or "F" index entries, Help Producer provides a convenient way to enter keywords through the Topic Properties dialog.

Tip   If you do not see the AddKeyword fields, press ALT+F9 to toggle the Show Field Codes flag.
