One could be created but it seems a bit pointless so you would need to convince us as to why it would be useful. The process described below would be far faster to perform manually than it would be to create with a macro. The macro therefore only makes sense if you need to do this on a regular basis.



The basic workflow I would follow would be to:
Copy the entire document as text only into a new blank document
Replace all the spaces with returns to make a series of one word paragraphs
Sort the text alphabetically
Loop through all the paragraphs and remove all empties and duplicates (possibly do this Excel for simplicity)
Save this doc (for use as the concordance file)
Now with the original doc, run the autoindex function with the new doc as the concordance file.

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
