Default Index ?? Word 2007

Hi ?B?U2l1YW4=?=,

I'm a new user working in Word 2007. I'm working in a very large and growing
document that needs and Index badly.

I've figured out how to Create one and how to mark the selected text
individually but I'm wondering if there is a way to set up a "Master List" of
thing you want marked.

This would ensure that I don't miss an important entry.

Well, it is possible to use what's termed a "Concordance" to generate an Index.
This is a two-column table of "search term" and "index term". You create that in
a Word document, save it, then reference it via the "AutoMark" button (click
"Insert Index").

Most professionals don't like this method of creating an index because not all
entries found are relevant. I see it's not mentioned in the Word 2007 Help,
either...
