Linda:
 You are looking at it like I do, it would be a tremendous  project!

I can make bookmarks that not a problem!  But when this project started in
1997 it was not important that it be click-able <g>

Yes you are right it's a big project  and I don't have it in one file unless
I want it to re-index then I put it all together, I find the index feature
works best that way If you try doing it with page numbers it seems to
sometimes get lost  <g>

But as I sit here I just thought someone may have run into this and figured
out a way of doing it. I had thought maybe I could do it with a Replace
thing some way but it would still take a replace movement for each person or
work indexed!  Still a lot of work. In fact the Bookmarks would be as large
as the index which is some 100 pages now and still adding to this project
<g>

Take care and any other comments are welcome.


Gene

I think...anyway you tackle it, it's gonna be a huge project.....but the
way I would do it is with bookmarks....you can add bookmarks where the
words appear within the document, then link to them from the
index...would be a lot of work tho

If you don't know how to make bookmarks, read this little tutorial I
wrote for the Newbie Club:
http://newbieclub.com/officetips/20010806.htm

But....I'm really thinking you need to break this Word file up....you
are just asking for trouble with a document this large....it's just
begging to get corrupted, then you won't have a document at all....Dian
has a wonderful tutorial on creating Master Document and subDocuments
with indexes...you might want to look into this:

Good luck

Mike:

I really thank you for this comment!

But, this is a book with as I said many pages and peoples names are
indexed to the pages this name shows up on, some show on many pages, So
I am lost as to how doing them in Styles would help?  There are some
5000 probably names in the index,

I believe I see how and what you mean but it would take many headers to
make it work as I see it?

I have a lot to learn about Word  That's for sure.

Gene
