Doing that would require only minor changes to the macro, but it seems you want something rather more than that.

The other benefit of having the index codes in the document is that it allows one to very quickly scan through the document to make sure if all the terms have been included, rather than having to flip from the index, then to a page number, for each term.

If that's what you want, use Word's built-in indexing tools - which you can apply only to quoted terms. The macro in the original thread is for those who don't want to clutter their documents with XE fields. The macro approach also allows one to customize the indexing sort order (see, for example
https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...ure-index.html) - which Word can't do. Refreshing the index in that document is as simple as re-running the macro.

So in the index, y9ou might see one term referring a page number, and another referring to "A-2" (meaning page 2 of Exhibit A).

In that case, you'll need to ensure your indexing concordance file, if you use one, is appropriately designed; otherwise you'll need to process those custom entries manually. Coding a macro to do all that for every possible scenario would likely entail more effort than the time it would save.
