This allows the text to wrap around the image and rendering the image movable around the page.
Now move the image to the right of the document.
When you move it to the right, a green line will appear. This signifies the inner edge of your margin.
3. Now let’s modify the image and give a caption. First make sure that the image is selected. Once you have select the image to edit, the Picture Format Tools will appear on your Tab list.
Click on the Tab and let us add a white border around the image and increase the image size. Under the Picture Styles select the Bevel Matte, White styles.

11. Go to the last line of page B and insert a Next Page Break or a Section Break (Next Page).
12. Change the page layout back to Portrait and format the page numbers to capital I.
Make sure that you only have one column. Type the following starting at the first line of page I:
To create an index we will need to auto mark the document using a template. Microsoft Word
uses a 2 column formatting for its index creation:
Keyword Search Display term
The keyword search will be used as a search criteria for Word to scan the entire document and
recording the pages where the keyword(s) are found. The display term is what Word will use to
display or list on the index. It is not necessary that the keyword search and the display term
matches.
Now open index_table.docx which contains a list of keywords searches and display terms, but
they are not formatted into a table. So you will have to format it first into a table using the
Covert to text tool. Since each item listed falls under this pattern Keyword Search/ Display Term
and each criteria is divided by a specific character symbol (in this case the forward slash /). To
convert in a table so that Word can recognize it as a template, first highlight the entire content
(Crtl+A) and convert the text into a table. Since each

symbol or character and in this case the /. Once completed it should look like the image below:

We will now have to AutoMark the document in order to scan the entire document.
Automarking allows us to select a template (index_table.docx) and use it to create our index.
Now this process will not result in any evident result, but funny looking characters (See
Highlighted).
To AutoMark, click on the AutoMark… icon and navigate to the folder which has the modified
index_table.docx file. Select it and your document will blink and generate the characters you
see above. YOU ARE NOT DONE YET. To complete the process, go back to the References tab
and Insert Index. Make sure that you are on the right page (Page I).
Now let’s insert the index by following the specifications on the image on the next page.
