Default ISO macro to make an index list of defined terms


Is there a free Word macro that will make (and later update) an index
list of defined terms (words in "quote marks") in a document?

I suppose it would be like using Insert - Index and Tables - Index, but
with the macro automatically marking each "defined term" in quote marks
in the document and then making the Index, with each term on the left
and a dot leader to the page number where it will be found.

Thanks.

you can use a concordance file to automark basically whatever you like.
This will create the necessary XE fields that an INDEX field can then use.
