I don't do professional indexing but our
documentation department puts a high value
on it. Our style guide has a chapter on
indexing, duplicated in our third-party
generic version (READ ME FIRST) that has been
complimented by a professional indexer on
Amazon. You might want to take a look at it
for some tips.
