Default Is index creation part of Word?

I have an old verson of Word. In the latest version of Word, is index
creation software part of the program? If not, are there index programs that
function with Word? I've written a long book that requires an extensive
index. Doing it line by line would turn my hair gray.

The current version of Word can help you create an index. There's an article
about it at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/Createindex.htm.

I suspect your copy of Word, no matter how old it is, can also handle index
generation in the same way. Look in the Help for topics about the Index
field and the XE field.

XE fields are as old as Word AFAIK (certainly as old as any Windows version
of Word). The UI for inserting them may be relatively new, but they can
certainly be inserted by hand in any version.
