Couldn't resist jumping into this...
About a year ago Lori Lathrop, who seems to do a lot of indexing (Lori,
if my memory is inaccurate, my apologies), said that she indexes Table of
Figure entries. I do something slightly different.
Instead of a separate List of Figures, I index all of the figures. My
thought was to give the user one place tp go when navigating through my
manual.
