I am creating a very large report, therefore I need to split the report into
smaller, separate files. I would like to create an index for the report, but
I am not sure how to create one index for all of the separate files. I think
this may be difficult because of pagination. Is it best to create an index as
you write a report or is it best to wait until the report is finished? Would
it be best to have a separate file that contains only the index? Any
information on creating indexes would be very helpful. Thank you.

Do you mean Index, or do you mean Table of Contents? Either way,
the principle is the same. See the section entitled "How to
create a table of contents for several documents" at
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html .
