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 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. Support for indexing standards such as ISO 999 and Chicago enables you to accommodate your publisher's preferences. Application of an authority file enables rapid index creation with full vocabulary control. Furthermore, easy document replacement allows you to create the index on a pre-final version of the document and later update the index with little extra work.
