Many publishers have their own style
sheets to specify the requirements for their indexes. Others prefer to use
styles recommended by The Chicago Manual of Style. If you do not have a
style sheet, the following decisions need to be answered prior to the beginning
of the indexing process. For any questions, please contact Gaye Tarallo at
Greystone Indexing.

-
Depth of indexing: How many levels of
subheadings are allowed?
-
Alphabetization: Word-by-word or
letter-by-letter?

capital only, all capitals, or proper nouns and adjectives only?
-
Page range format: Full numbers
(142-148) or conflated (142-8)?
