InDesign has indexing features. The manual will explain more fully than a forum post. If you set up the document properly, the index can be automatically produced based on the contents that you create.

Although you say that you are 'just starting', giving some background on you previous experience may help. For instance, if you are familiar with doing this kind of thing in another page layout application (Word, Quark, etc), fellow users can help relate how to do this in InDesign.

And, are we talking catalogs that look more like phone books than Victoria's Secrets? Or vice versa?

TOC and Index are just about last things you are going to do.

also what would be the best layout to use single pages?




Please be more specific. Do you mean single sided?
