TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Has anyone hared of a good interactive indexing program that works
with MS-Word? We are now using MS-Word for Windows Re. 6.0a.
We would like to have the ability to a) automatically scan the text
for a string and insert an index tag at each mention (with confirm!),
and b) edit tags from the index.
Has anyone used such a product, or does anyone know of such a product?
We were inspired by the ease of user of RoboHelp in inserting hypertext
links, and thought, "Wait a second, there should be one of these tools
for generating indexes!"
