SUMMARY
This article describes how to include footnote text in your index using
bookmarks, {REF} fields, and index entry {XE} fields.
MORE INFORMATION

following:

c. Click OK.
- Select the word in the footnote text that you want to include in your
index.

modify the field code so that it looks like this:
{XE "{REF bookmarkname \* mergeformat }"}
- Turn off field codes view to correctly update and print your index.
