Features of TExtract version 9 for Windows                

With TExtract you create the back-of-book index for an English or Dutch language publication semi-automatically. TExtract is the only book indexing software to combine high-quality automatic indexing with powerful manual index authoring. Unique features, available in no other indexing software, enable global and in-context navigation, selection and editing of entries and occurrences, and allow you to focus on relevant content. Flexible output formats enable incorporating the formatted index in your publication, or further processing by other software. Easy support for indexing standards such as ISO 999 and Chicago enables you to accommodate your publisher's preferences.

Furthermore, easy document revision enables updating the index with little extra work, allowing you to create the index on a pre-final version of the document. Application of an authority file enables rapid index creation with full vocabulary control.

Using TExtract, the index authoring process is supported by the index itself. As user comments show, TExtract's intuitive navigation, selection and editing features may even turn indexing into a pleasant activity. The feature list is shown below. Note that some features need a Custom or Pro license version, as indicated.

Next to creating indexes, you can use TExtract to allocate keywords to documents.
