Does Microsoft 2007 have indexing capabilities?

[Conway, Arkansas]

I'm writing a book. Does Microsoft Word 2007 have the capabilities for me to
do indexing?

I'm writing a book. Does Microsoft Word 2007 have the capabilities for me to
do indexing?

Yes, it does. The tools are the same as the ones in Word 2003 -- you
mark entries with XE fields, and then insert an INDEX field where you
want the index to appear. The tools can be found on the References
ribbon, in the Index group (near the right end of the ribbon).

Has Word 2000 got this facility?

Yes, it does. The tools are the same as the ones in Word 2003 -- you
mark entries with XE fields, and then insert an INDEX field where you
want the index to appear. The tools can be found on the References
ribbon, in the Index group (near the right end of the ribbon).

Yes, it does. You'll find the dialog somewhere on the Insert menu, probably
as "Index and Tables". I think it was in Word 2002 that indexing and tables
of contents were stuffed under the Insert > Reference menu item with
footnotes and cross-references. The fields themselves haven't changed much
since Word 6.0, or maybe earlier.
