Default How do I set up a glossary (or reference table of sorts)?

I would like to identify / highlight key statements in a Word document (with
a cross reference field or similar), so I can create a separate section in
the document and automatically list those key statements with their
associated page numbers. I'm familiar with a table of contents, book marks
and headings, but I can't seem to get what I want out of those features. I
don't want to format the statements as "Headings" so as not to mess with the
formatting of the main part of the document that uses heading styles.

What I want is a document / section that looks like this....

Body of the document here. Body of the document here. Body of the document
here. Body of the document here. Body of the document here. Body of the
document here.

(Page break)

The sky is blue ................................. 12
I'm very confused at times ................. 16
Anybody got an idea? ......................... 21
Thanks for your help! ......................... 99

At the end of the document, choose Reference from the Insert drop down menu
and choose Index and Tables, click the Index tab. You can get an expanded
explanation from HELP!

It appears that Ribs want these key statements in the order in which they
appear in the text; that being the case, a TOC is what is called for, and
probably the best way to create it is with TC fields.
