Please help with object index page

[Ted Conn]

Could someone please help me with a problem that I have?

We keep our batch job flows in Visio and this document is 30 pages
long. It is becoming more difficult to locate jobs by name,
especially for new folks. I would like to create index pages that
list each job and the page that it is located on. This index should
update automatically as pages are inserted, deleted, or reordered.
Each page has two fields - total pages and current page. Currently we
keep this information in an excel spreadsheet and import it as it
changes. This is kind of kludgy as it requries updating two
documents.

I have looked at the help files, the links provided in this forum by
various folks, faqs, and have not seen anyone with a similar question.
I have a rudimentary knowledge of VB and can get some expert help if
needed.

My thought is to create user defined fields at the page level, giving
each page a unique name. I have played with some of the suggestions
here to access those fields but so far have been unable to expose the
values to my code.

Oh yes, we are using Visio 2002.

Any help would be apprecated.
