How Nisus Writer handles consecutive page numbers in an index
Nisus Writer Pro checks to see whether you have indexed the same term on consecutive pages. If
so, the application automatically concatenates all the numbers of these pages and displays them in
the index as a unit with the page number of the first instance followed by a hyphen then the page
number of the last instance.
