But Bruce! Dick was asking about an *Index* -- not a concordance!
There's a big difference -- both in quality and in effort!

Dick,

Kinda depends on whether your train of thought will be derailed
if you stop to cut&paste while your creating the index. You might
find it easier to index one document completely first. Idunno.

In any case, open all three docs, tile the windows so you can
scroll through atcher leisure, and cut&paste to your hearts
content. Don't forget that ctrl+drag copies between windows,
too, so you can probably mouse a good deal of this.

It'd be nice if you could just "mark" the index in each doc,
but the dialog loses content when you move the cursor. Bummer!

Good luck with it! Lori would be proud!  ;-)

(Hi Lori! -- she searches her digest on "index")
