Index across >1 document

J

Here's what I'm ultimately trying to accomplish. I have
written two manuals, and want to produce one index for the
two manuals, so I might get entries like the following in
the combined index:

Date Formats..........Dev1-258, Dev2-49

Where Dev1 and Dev2 represent two separate manuals, along
with the page numbers in each manual. So I'm trying to
build in the prefix text in each manual, and then create a
Master Word document and insert each manual as a
subdocument.

Can I accomplish this?

Hi Jan

See my reply to your post in microsoft.public.word.docmanagement

If you do use a Master document, I suggest you use it just for this purpose,
and work on separate copies of the sub documents in case of corruption.
Alternatively, you could use RD fields to build the index in a separate
file.
