MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / June 2005Indexing
Hello, I have seen the FAQ on Indexing by Word on the MVP site saying that Word cannot automatically generate and index. But, as stated in the web page, this was for Word 2002. Since word has been updated since that time, has indexing support improved? I would like to start indexing a large document done in Word but before starting, I would like to know what would be the best way to do this since everywhere I read about this, everybody says that it is a very tedious task and I would like to do it the "Right Way".

I'd say that John McGhie's article covers it in full, so you already have all you need (and then some :-)). The bottom line is about: You _can_ created an index automatically via a concordance file; but the result is so poor and, to end up with a decent result, needs so much work afterwards that you are better off to use the more manual approaches described. 2cents Robert Signature/"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word > Hi Stéfan > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > 2cents > Robert Well I will go the John McGhie way then. Thanks for the advice. SignatureStefan Robert (to email: remove the numbers)
