Thanks, Stefan. Just what I wanted.

Unfortunately, there is no built-in way to create a hyperlinked
index,
if that's what you are trying to do.
However, it is possible to create multiple indexes. An index is
in fact an INDEX field, which collects information from XE fields
in
the document; each XE field defines a separate index entry. And
you
can mark for several different types of indexes by adding the \f
switch to your index entries.
To display XE fields, show hidden text. For your authors, you'll
see
something like { XE "Author name here" }. Just add the \f "a"
switch
to the end of the code: { XE "Author name here" \f "a" }. Repeat
this
procedure for each type of index entry, adding an \f switch and a
"category letter". For subjects, you could use \f "s".
Then insert an index: Press Ctrl+F9. Word inserts field
delimiters,
{ }. Type INDEX \f "a", and press F9 to update. For the next type
of
index, repeat the procedure, using the \f switch followed by the
corresponding letter.

I need to create multiple indexes for a document, i.e. a subject
index, an
author index and a first line index. I need to cross reference
the
index
entries to specific items and not just the page on which the
entry
appears.
Is this possible? I'm using Office Word 2003. Thanks
