Adding index to published table

Is this possible?
How would I do it?
Rob
Rob,
if it's just to exist on the publisher then you can just go ahead and add it
using EM or TSQL. This index won't be propagated to the subscriber, and even
in SQL 2005 with the option to replicate schema changes this is true. To be
sure to get the index to all subscribers, you can use sp_addscriptexec.

|||Hi,
So can I also manaully add /modify /drop the same indexes at the subscriber
using EM and T-SQL as well? Planning to do some major performance tuning in
my application soon.
TQ in advance.

same is true in SQL Server 2005 where there is the option of automatic
schema alterations being replicated - ie indexes aren't.
