Thanks, Stefan. I've wondered about that for years. One more question. The
book is long, and I want readers to go to things by page - like I compose
"And Cross made other errors - see pages 67, 324 and 467" not "See chapter 8
beginning, chapter 12 middle and chapter 18 1/3 way through" How do I mark
the text here and there (here or there?) so that "67", "324" and "457" stay
updated as I edit the text?

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
