Thanks again.

No, I don't want "and" and "the" etc, but I can remove those manually from the list if Word isn't equipped to do it automatically.

I do want pretty much all other words though - even seemingly innocuous and pointless ones like "prior" and "was" and "theretofor" actually only appear in a small number of places each, and could easily be the core of some argument or at least a guiding star for locating a particular phrase of contention. The more comprehensive the index the more useful it will be, there is little advantage in removing anything other than to save paper and toner in the printed copies.

I have succeeded with the concordance document, thank you, and now have a large, standard index with a list of page numbers for each word.

My planned next step, when I have another couple of hours to devote to it, is to copy the index back out of Word and back into Excel, and edit the table to create a separate line for each word/page pair. Then it should be simple to sort by page number, add a third column with the section heading that each page number belongs to, then sort alphabetically again. That should give me a result something like my example in post #1:

Licence … 2. Constitution of the Trust Fund … 7
Licence … 10. Powers, Duties and Obligations of the Trustee … 15
Licence … 10. Powers, Duties and Obligations of the Trustee … 18
Vesting … 1. Definitions … 5
Vesting … 11. The Income of the Fund … 20
Vesting … 11. The Income of the Fund … 21
Vesting … 12. The Period of the Trust and Termination Thereof … 21
Vesting … 14. Variation of Trust … 23

Unfortunately this will no longer be a "live" index so I'll have to repeat the process any time I make further changes affecting the layout, but it seems like what I am doing here is outside of Word's design so perhaps that's just the price I need to pay. It shouldn't be too onerous, I hope.

Thanks again for the links and input, and if anyone can think of a better way to get there (especially if it preserves the ability to update automatically) I'd love to hear it!
