Creating Index in Word 2003

[Bookworm]

Can anyone explain, in easy terms, how to make an index page from a
long Word Doc?

The help system is very unfriendly

There is no simple way of creating an index. It's rather labour-intensive.
You could try to read your way through this:

Andrew has referred you to a good article on creating an index (an
alphabetical list of specified terms, with page numbers). Because of your
use of the term "index page," I wonder if you may be referring instead to
what Word (and most of the world) calls a table of contents (a chronological
list of the contents, with or without page numbers). If so, see
