RE: Looking for a Word Indexing Plug-in

["Pinkham, Jim" <Jim -dot- Pinkham -at- voith -dot- com>]

A few years back, Jack Lyon did an excellent series of articles on Word
Indexing on his Editorium web site. He also has a plug-in known as
DEXter, http://www.editorium.com/dexter.htm, which you can try free for
45 days. I suspect the $199 investment to keep it could be well worth
it, in terms of time saved. I have no affiliation with Jack or The
Editorium, just appreciate the site and receive Jack's free newsletter.
If you want to read about technique but don't necessarily want the
plug-in, see the articles at http://www.editorium.com/euindex.htm.
Scroll down to Indexing. Topics go into more depth than the titles may
imply. They include:

Subject: Looking for a Word Indexing Plug-in

Hi All,

(Cross-posted to WORD-PC and TECHWR-L)

Can anyone recommend a Word plug-in that can create index files with
hyper links (similar to Word's TOC feature)?

I plan to turn these word files into PDF and would like to have
clickable index entries. The indexes are many pages long, so I'm looking
for an automated solution.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks
Frank.
