I would start by applying a style to all those authors names. You can then use that either as the trigger to either gather all names into a TOC or to run a macro that applies index fields to all the entries.



A macro can do all the work very quickly but we would want to see a representative chunk of document so that the code would be structured correctly. If you post a small sample in a word document someone here could write the code you need.
