Index - how to?

[Freddy]

I use XP Pro with all updates.
I use Office XP Pro.

I am working on a manuscript which contains many (over 150 different)
scriptural cites.

I would like to make an alphabetical index to these scripture cites and
have them linked so as to automatically update their page number. (At
this stage of my manuscript, I am constantly adding, deleting, and
moving pages.)

My manuscript is currently at 208 pages. When I clean up my formating
and text point size and styles, I expect my pages to reduce
significantly. I would like to have my index completed before I ship it
to my editor.

Thanks for any help on this topic.

For indexing in general, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/Createindex.htm. There are some
problems with sorting scriptural references; this issue has been addressed
quite recently (last day or two) in one of the Word newsgroups (possibly
word.numbering).

locate your other reference yet... but I will. Thanks again.
