Hi all, firstly my apologies, I'm sure google would have the answers for me but I have no idea on the correct terminology to use.



I have used OCR to digitize and then manually reformatted an old legal document. I've figured out how to use headings to create a table of contents, which is working as expected. Now I want to auto-create a comprehensive alphabetical word list at the end of the document, with page numbers of where each word appears. I always thought this was an 'index', but google (and/or Word) seems to disagree somewhat.

Whatever it is actually called, I'm guessing that Word probably has a feature to generate one with little effort, and would probably be smart enough to ignore common prepositions and conjunctions etc (although I could manually delete those from the full list if required). It's also likely that the relevant page numbers will change as the document continues to be improved, so an automated, 'updateable' solution is essential.

A simple list of the page numbers where each word appears would be a good start, but it would be fantastic if I could get a result that shows the heading under which each instance appears, as well as the page number(s), so that readers can easily pick out the appearances of the word most relevant to their enquiry. An example might look like this:



Licence
2. Constitution of the Trust Fund...7
10. Powers, Duties and Obligations of the Trustee...15
10. Powers, Duties and Obligations of the Trustee...18

Vesting
1. Definitions...5
11. The Income of the Fund...20
11. The Income of the Fund...21
12. The Period of the Trust and Termination Thereof...21
14. Variation of Trust...23


Any ideas how can I achieve such a thing?
