Scott Abel wondered: <<I am looking for indexing tips and tricks and wonder if anyone knows of any articles or white papers about indexing to which you'd be willing to point me?>>

There are many good books on indexing, and one or more should be available in any good library. Comprehensive style guides such as the Chicago Manual of Style usually contain a good "primer" on indexing. That's where I learned the basics, to be followed up by additional reading later.

Have a look at the "American Society of Indexers" Web site; they've got a bunch of useful resources there (http://www.asindexing.org/site/asires.shtml), and a pointer to special interest groups and chapters where you can go to ask specific questions and perhaps even get some mentoring.
