There are two ways to initiate a word index.
method 1:

- Click a radio button to select an area of text to browse.
- Click the "show word index" button. The resulting browse list will
highlight your word (if it exists) in the middle with similar words above and below it in
alphabetical order. If your word does not exist, the list will highlight the next closest word
in the middle.

- Click on a hyperlinked letter in the list as shown. The resulting browse list will begin
with the first word in the index beginning with that letter.

- Check checkboxes next to any word you want to add to a search. All the words added in this
manner will be treated in an "any word" sense (i.e., match any of the words selected).
- Use up and down arrows at the top of the index to retrieve the next or previous 10 words in
the index (any currently selected words will be remembered).
- Click the "search for selected items" button to submit the search.
