Since the names are already in alphabetical order, you might be able to do
this very simply by creating a table of contents - if the chemical names are headings or have (or can be given) a unique style, you can pick them up very easily using the options available from the dialog. Alternatively, to create an Index you'll need to mark each name as an index entry. This is an occasion where it might be possible to do this automatically with a concordance file, though making the list of names for the concordance file (assuming your document contains other text as well as the names) might be as much work as creating the entries or the list itself by hand. Both TOCs and Index are quite well covered in Word Help. Note that the page numbers in a TOC are live hyperlinks, while those in an index are not, if that matters. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "lumi" wrote in message ...
