Default Indexing tools

Hi friends! I hope you are all well. Back from a long Holiday vacation.

I am starting to prepare a very large index for my file in Word. I cannot do this alone and have to outsource it to colleagues. I have built the conceptual backbone tree and branches for the index.

Source index (divided into 20 types of sources)
Place Index
Subject index (divided into over 50 subjects)

etc

I want to make the work easier for my helpers and would like to provide them with a way to easily choose the syntax of the field they marking for the index,

Some type of add-on that shows the index in a data tree format.

I have a friend that has done exactly this but he wants me to pay a big fee for each worker using his tool, which I cannot.

Any ideas?

Thank you and have a good day!

PS It accured to me that I could create a collection of AutoText for the editors that would insert the correct XE field at each marking. But there will be a lot to remember. I have seen here in the forum people talking about showing a form with all autoText possibilities which I could tweak to only my specified collection. Does anybody have a final version of this idea?
