How do I create an index without having to search for terms?
Granted, in a very long document, this would have its problems in length but I still believe it is easier than looking through the document and going though a routine of mouse calisthenics to place the entry. At any rate, none of my work is that log.
I would also like to have it hyper-linked so that when one clicked on the word, one was delivered to that page (those pages).
Had this option disappeared? Might it be that I am just not seeing it?
Maybe somenoe can tell me what the softeware was if not MS Word.

OADN, Is it possible to copy and alphabetize the TOC and put it to the end of the document?
I figure that will give me hyperlinks that I seek.

Unfortunately, in order to sort the TOC alphabetically (and keep it sorted), you'd have to unlink it.
There's a reason so few books have indexes at all and so many that do have indexes don't have good ones. Indexing is a job for a professional, and, although the author should theoretically know what terms are important enough to be in the index, often even the author is ill-equipped to create the index.

If you have enough need for hyperlinked indexes to pay for a solution, take a look at http://www.editorium.com/IndexLinker.htm. I haven't used it myself, but I have great respect for the Editorium staff and I believe they'll stand behind the program.

Hi
You can make a list of all the words you want to index and save it as a word doc, then use auto mark to create your index when ready. I seem to recall words are case sensitive. Don't know if this is any better but you never know. I'm afraid that sometimes tedious input seems the only way.
