How do I create an index for multiple word documents?

[dbfpuc]

I'm using Word 2007 and need to create an index using 10 or more different
word documents using a list of words and phrases. Is this possible?

Use RD fields; see this article:

What does "RD" stand for?

It doesn't look as though that article can be saved to disk! (Only
printed out, and subsequently lost.)

It also doesn't look as if that technique could be adapted for an
index.

Referenced Document. Word's Help on "Field codes: RD (Referenced Document)
field" provides some information.

But note that for Word 2007 users, that help topic (along with most of the
help topics on field codes) is missing from *offline* Help. <sigh>

If you connect to Office online, you'll see it, though.
