Problem with indexing: editing index entries

First, machine indexing is not, in any program I know of, a substitute for a human being doing the index. That said...
Search and Replace works very well in Word. Ctrl+H
It can replace things in Index entries as well as in the main text.

Let me start by saying this: indexing is perhaps the most underdeveloped feature of Microsoft Word.

Evidently you have not explored the Master Documents "Feature" in Microsoft Word nor automatic outline numbering!

Thanks for the tip, it works!
