Default Need an index with text identifier AND page numbers

Unfortunately, no, that feature is not available in any current version of
Word.

The other problem (which I just thought of) is that indexes do not have
hyperlinked page numbers and this is a government report that will be

posted
online that needs links to the pages. Is there a switch for making page
numbers linked to the Index?

An index includes what you tell it to include. So your XE field should

be:

{ XE "GEORGIA (RC)" \t }

I have a TOC that has about six pages of states that I would like
alphabetized. I know the best way to do this is with indexing but I

also
need
a text identifier inserted after the state name (title) and then the

dot
leader and page number. I've figured out how to add the text using the
cross-reference box but then it doesn't put in dot leader and page

number.
What would the correct switches be in the index field to get both the

text
after the indexed state name, then dot leader and page number? Right

now
my
field looks like this:
{ XE "GEORGIA" \t "(RC)" }
Thanks!
