It is surprising that with such a sophisticated program as word, this arrangement has to be done by hand.
The book has 300 pages and 53 sections; as far as I see from my test, this adding of the hyphens by hand will have to be on a section basis i.e. repeated 53 times, times three for the 1st page, and odd and even pages.
I tried typing the hyphen in; it will not allow any space between the hyphen and the page number. Even then it may look ok; there should be an option to have a space between the hyphen and the page number though.

Thanks, I'll try the right align tomorrow. (Not sure where to add the \e " ")

I did use the concordance approach. I'd made a Notepad file containing a list of all the words for the index. Just had to browse to that file in the "References|Insert Index>Automark" as you indicated earlier. There was no two column table. I just browsed to the automark place, it gave me a browser window, I supplied the Notepad file, and when I then clicked on "create index", the index was created.
