indexing

Hello,

I have been reading the help on indexing and it seems cmplex for a simple
soul like me.

I was wondering if there is a simple way to do the following.

1- make a case insensitive list of all the unique words in a document
2- I would then manually delete all the useless ones e.g. 'and' 'the' 'or'
'if' etc...
3- get word to make an index of the remaing words

Thanks in advance

Ahhh, shades of WordStar! Office won't do that,
unfortunately. You could look at concordance files,
but I've found t hem to be dismally clumsy and hard to
work with.
There are external progs that will do that, but I
don't know of any of them. Maybe someone here can
point you to them.

HTH,
