best method Indexing in word 2002
Hello,
I want to index of 1100 entries in a word document. To make this process faster I thought that I could make a macro which eliminates some steps. Right now I mark the entry with the mouse and click on a Mark an Entry icon, then I click on Mark in the menu and on close and move to the next entry etc. I tried to make a macro that saves some steps but when I record a macro and want to reuse it it would make the same index for the highlighted word as the word originally used in the macro instead of the new highlighted word. Any ideas how to speed up the process? Thanks Octavee |

One thing that will speed things up even though it doesn't "automate" the
process in any way - Don't Close the Dialog Box It isn't modal, so you can work back & forth between it & the doc. Although it isn't a recommended solution according to some respected sources you can also use what is called a "Concordance File" to list your index entries in a two-column table in a separate doc. If you're interested, take a look in Word help (search on the keyword concordance), but post back for more commentary before you proceed.
