--- Comment #5 from Heinrich Hartl <Heinrich.Hartl@email.de> ---
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #4)


It's up to the user to make the right selection, a full word, one normal 
character, or a zero width char. Restrictions makes sense for one but could 
be a showstopper for others.
I need explanations for a novice: I know that a can select a short text
sequence to define an index entry using menu insert / ToC&Index / Index Entry.
The selected text becomes the entry in an alphabetical Index.
The only modification that I know of is to alter the text of the entry. The
implied consequence is that the visible marker in the document no longer is the
selected text sequence but a (zero length character?) 1mm wide 1char high
vertical shaded area bar. I know no other settings for the visible marker.
Please let me know if there are other options.

I want to explain what I want to achieve:
Assume that synonyms are used in a document and I want to associate an
explanation or translation to these words in the text. This is what a glossary
normally provides. If I was allowed to complement the text string in the entry
I could append "see also other-synonym-word". In my alphabetical index I might
then find two entries:
Brennnessel (Urtica)....... 27,27,39,110
Urtica dt. Brennnesseln.... 15,27

On page 27 i might find 
Brennesseln may hurt"
========== 
Die Gattung Urtica is named Brennesseln in German. 
            ======          ==========
Jede Brennessel kann schmerhafte Schwellungen verursachen
     ==========
My be an alphabetical Index is not the appropriate choice to achieve that. But
what is appropriate?
