Build an Index

[Mike Smith]

I have marked a number of headers in my document for inclusion in my Index.
I then clicked on Insert, Reference, Index and Tables - selected my template
and clicked OK.

This does not appear to do anything.

I am expecting to see an Index at the end of my document but there is
nothing there.

How do I get Word to Build the Index?

Well, let's clarify. "Headers" are not included in either an index or a
table of contents. "Headings" are automatically included in a TOC (without
being marked). To create an index, you must mark index entries (create XE
fields). I'm not clear on what you did when you "selected my template." Can
you clarify exactly what you marked, how you marked it, and whether you were
attempting to create an index or a TOC?
