  14. Exercise Tip #4—Key to Index • Whenever you index by keying a name, each letter must be keyed correctly; spelling counts; capitalization does not count as an error. • Do not key punctuation marks as they are not an indexing unit. • Close up space between words within a single indexing unit. For example: Key InAndOut for the name In-And-Out
