Well, even though Word's gotten better in this regard, _that's_ really
the thing that it will probably never be able to do as well as Frame.
Different model entirely.
For Philip Baldi's *Foundations of Latin*, there were about 20
indexes, including one for each Indo-European language that was cited,
and several of them use alphabetical orders different from that of
English.
Indexing is a pain even with the best tools at hand. I don't think
there's much in Word that lets you fiddle with the sort order, so, in
essence, you unlink the Index field and automate the ordering.
I learned Chicago table formatting when I was a manuscript editor at
Astrophysical Journal, and I don't think an astrophysicist is
constitutionally able to prepare a table that doesn't have footnotes
in it.
:-)
Granted, I may have worked more in the engineering and economics world,
but I've supported my share of arts papers as well. But again, table
footnotes makes two AutoTexts (one for the starting field, and one for
all the others). It's not that you can't do it in Word, there's just not
much support from scratch.
