Indexing a Range of Pages: MS Word

MS Word allows you to create indexes for your documents easily and quickly. Once you create your index entries and subentries, you can create an index for a range of pages by following these step s:

1. Select (highlight) the pages you want to include in the index.
    
2. Assign a bookmark to this text.
    
3. Place the insertion point at the location where you want the partial index created.
    
4. Press Ctrl+F9 to insert field brackets. Make sure the insertion point stays between the brackets.
    
5. Type index\b followed by the name of the bookmark used in step 2.
    
6. Press F9 to update the field information. Word replaces the field with the partial index.

And you thought that was going to be difficult didn't you? ;-)
