Genealogical Index Using MS WORD, How Do I Make An INDEX For Each Name Used?

Using MS WORD, how do I make an INDEX for each name used? - genealogical index

May I make copies of court records to our local genealogical society, the use of MS Word. We Bolding each name in this document (about 200) and want to create an index of names and reference pages to the end. We want that the indexes are not sorted alphabetically (Jones, Joe) and the page number. How do I do that?

They will select each item, the document you want included in the index.

To use existing text as an index entry, select the text and then press ALT + SHIFT + X. Fill out the information.

To mark the index entry, click Mark. To mark all occurrences of text in the document, click Mark All.

Word inserts the marked index entry as an XE (Index Entry) field in hidden text. If you do not see the XE fields, click Show / Hide Standard toolbar, which is the paragraph mark.

Click where you want the final index.

To ensure that the document is paginated correctly, you need to hide the field codes and hidden text. If the XE (Index Entry) fields are visible, click Show / Hide Standard toolbar.

Click on the Insert menu, click Reference, click Index and Tables, click the Index tab.

Hmmm ...
Can I use Excel to create names and references to the pages?
This can be done in ascending order. Then insert the end of the Word document.

Hyperlinks in Word will also be useful to link to other pages in the document.

There is a way, an index using a concordance file that contains the words you want indexed include build. Check the Help system for the entries in the search for "coherence" and "index".

Good luck.
