How to create a Concordance File in WordPerfect®?

A concordance is a list of words or phrases and the page numbers where each word or phrase occurs. You can generate a concordance as an index or include it in an index of marked headings and subheadings.

A concordance file is a document you create consisting of words and phrases you want to include in the concordance. Type each word or phrase at the beginning of a line, then press Enter before typing the next word or phrase.

The generated concordance uses the capitalization of the concordance file. For example, if you create a "butterfly" entry in the concordance file, then generate the concordance with a document that includes "Butterfly," all occurrences of "butterfly" and "Butterfly" are listed under the "butterfly" heading.
