Updating keywords

If you set up Cataloging to create keyword entries as MARC records are saved

(see the table on page 56), they are automatically entered into the keyword index

as you add or modify records. If you did not set this up, you must periodically

run the Update Keywords option (which indexes keywords from records recently

added or updated) to make all your records available through keyword searches.
From Cataloging's main window, choose Tools | Update Keywords. A message

appears, saying the process may take a long time. Click Yes to begin. As

keywords are updated, the progress is shown in a scrolling display. You can

cancel processing by clicking Cancel and verifying your choice. Otherwise, the

update continues scrolling through each record until they've all been processed.

Then the Cancel button changes to Close.
