I have a set of documents that form a Quality Manual, and I would like to
produce a single index (showing which document the reference is in as well as
page no). Is there any alternative to doing it manually?

In MS Word help, look up "Create a master document and subdocuments". You
can use this feature as either a stand-alone document or a collaborative
document.

Actually, master documents are not recommended, because they tend to
corrupt. See
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/Wh...ocsCorrupt.htm.

Fortunately, there are some alternatives. You can use InsertFile,
pick the file to insert and then click the Arrow next to the Insert
button, and choose to "Insert as Link". This places IncludeText fields
in a document, which you can then use to create an index (and a TOC).

Another method is to use RD fields. For more, use Word Help, or see
the following article (which is primarily about TOCs):
