Making a word exclusion list

A word exclusion list defines words, numbers, or a combination of words and numbers that you do not want in the index. When building an index, all lines of text on a Map are scanned. Lines matching specified words in the word exclusion list are ignored.

The word exclusion list is not case-sensitive or space-sensitive. It does, however, pay attention to accent marks. A word cannot be duplicated in the list.

  1. From the Indexation window, click the Filtering tab.
  2. Enable the Word exclusion list check box.
  3. Click the Add button.
  4. Click in the text box, type a word, and press Enter. If you want to remove a word from the exclusion list, click the word and click the Remove button.
  5. Click OK.
