If you have a list of words you want indexed, you can use a concordance file
to automatically mark words for indexing (look for the AutoMark button in
the Index dialog box). As to whether you want ALL words in the document
indexed (do you really want every occurrence of "a", "the", and "and"
indexed?), well, that's up to you. Using an existing document to generate
the list of words to index would require a little finesse, but it can be
done. You might even be able to find existing/comprehensive word lists
online that will serve your needs.

I need to create an index or list of every word in a document with page
and
line number where it appears. Court reporters do this with their software
programs (not Word!). Can I do it with Word 2003?
