Default Creating a specifically formatted index with concordance

I have an address book book that I have created in Word through a lengthy process of much trial and error with Mail merge. The final part I would like to do is to create an index with some added difficulty. I want all of the normal easy to get parts of the index, the Name and What page they are in, which I have no problem with, but I also would like the phone numbers included in the index entries, so it would read as



NAME<tab>Phone Number<tab>Page Number

I am using the automark feature with a concordance that had the information exactly that has been brought into word through mailmerge. I can get all of the information into the index no problem, but its the formatting that is a hang up for me. Appreciate any help.

I am using Word 2016 on Mac OSX

I've found the answer to my own problem, it came to me as I lay in bed last night. It just requires using a unique character in the Concordance file, and after the index is created, use find and replace to switch out the unique character for a tab!
