polksalet Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Aight, I'm nearly done with this book I've written this semester. Ive got a couple of more pages and then I have to create an index. I have never created an index before and I need to figure out how best to go about this. I know Word will do this but since it is a MS function its probably tedious and a pain in the Romo. Any ideas about the best way to go about this? Edited May 11, 2009 by polksalet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Use the table of contents feature? Not sure if this is what you are looking for. From Word help menu The easiest way to create a table of contents is to use the built-in outline-level formats or heading styles. If you are already using outline-level formats or built-in heading styles, follow these steps: Click where you want to insert the table of contents. On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and click Index and Tables. Click the Table of Contents tab. To use one of the available designs, click a design in the Formats box. Select any other table of contents options you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 One really novel solution to this is to open Word, click on Microsoft Word Help, then type "index" in the search box. From the 19 displayed entries, I guess "Create An Index" would be a good starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
