Creating Indexes in Word Quickly.
Hi,
are there any ways to quickly index word files.
Background: I am republishing some military history books and I think a detailed index really adds some value when doing research with the book. There will be several hundred references per document.
I find the process of adding an individual index reference quite time consuming, compared with how easy it is to use headings to create a table of contents.
I'm using word 2003 mainly, but I have 2007 on another machine.
I'm comfortable writing macros for Excel, althoughI haven't done Word VBA for a while, I can pick it up again.
Any suggestions for streamlining index generation would be helpful. I have a virtual assistant who can apply the method once it's sorted out.
Thanks.
