I have a fairly large document, the index of which I originally generated

Bear in mind I did not write Index-Pro, my feeling is that it does not cope with major document changes like deleting chapters.
Possibly copying chapters would be a way to get rid of the index (save + load of DDL certainly would be). 


if I might obtain any inspiration (I didn't) is that there seem to be large
chunks of the text from each half of the book in the other.  I guess that
this is some sort of left over garbage, but it must have been there a long
while (since before it was split in two).  Is there any way of compacting
the document to clear it out?  The might perhaps reduce the size and make
it sensible to put the two halves together again.
"Min memory" on the Misc menu flushes the undo buffer. However, well it depends on version, but in general there is no clearing of memory when it is reserved for a new purpose.
Another possibility is orphaned objects, for example text stories which are no longer used. Then again the text you're seeing may be from Index-Pro.
