Thanks for your reply.
I will use that method.
But ok, I will explain what I would need it for:

I write lengthy non-fiction history books. Sometimes up 600 pages.
At the end of a book I would like to have a mentioned Names and Places list with the corresponding page numbers.
It is almost impossible to mark every name and place throughout the book. It would be easier if a list can be generated that simply includes every used word with page number. Duplicates or irrelevant words can then simply be removed. That's not a problem.
Or even better would be: a list generated with every word not recognized by the dictionary with page number. That way it would be exactly the right words: names and places and foreign words.

I'm sure there are many people out there who actually need such a tool.

Regards,
Jay
