How can i import my own list of words inside the program to force index them ?

Please follow those steps :

  • First you will have to create an XML or TXT file that contains your list of words that you want to import inside the program. Such file has some specifications you must follow so the program can read it. Please check the program Help to check those specifications. They are explained there in details.
  • Open the program.
  • Choose Tools/Settings/Include/Exclude Words/Include words.
  • Click 'Import Categories' and select your *.TXT or *.XML file that you have created.
  • Click 'Save' then 'Ok' to apply your settings.
  • Start indexing your book normally, and in Step2 choose the second option 'Index specific words in the book'.
  • The Include/Exclude words window is opened, enable the first option 'Include words'.
  • Select the category that you have created, and click the Add arrow, then click Ok.
  • Continue your indexing process normally, and you will see the words of the imported list appear in the index results.

Note : If you think importing a file is difficult, we encourage you to manually write any words/phrases you want to index in the same window that you have opened to import a file by creating a new category manually and choose a suitable Words separator to separate between each entry.
