Subject:Indexes - Printed vs. On-line From:Mark Levinson <mark -at- SD -dot- CO -dot- IL> Date:Fri, 23 Dec 1994 10:28:21 IST
The on-line index can have hypertext links to the page numbers, which
gives you instant access to the reference.
** But ideally it would give you a further level (like the Windows Help
search mechanism)-- maybe too detailed for a printed index-- explaining
what you will get at each of those pages, rather than just scattershotting
the numbers at you.
