Is there an easy way to generate an index by paragraph
number rather than by page number?
Word seems to have all kinds of easy ways to do this for
table of contents and cross-reference, but not for an
index.
Current workaround: Format every paragraph as "page break
before" just before index generation. A pretty ugly
solution.
I don't know if it makes any difference, but as a
translator, most of my documents are set up as bilingual
tables -- a typical document contains one table with a
column for each language, and with or without a column
for sequential paragraph numbers (each table cell is
a "paragraph").
In the past, I've played with the SEQ commands, the
index "chapter" feature, and outline numbering, but have
found those methods to be too fragile and inflexible to
work well.
