Word Index

[Nylex]

I am using Word 2003 - I have created an operation manual for the company -
each section has a Heading and it is properly marked. I then have inserted an
Index on the first page and I thought it would Sort the entries but it has
not - is there any way to sort the Index each time it is refreshed?

It sounds as if you have created a table of contents rather than an index.
An index (which usually appears at the end of a document) is sorted
alphabetically; in order to create one, you have to insert index entry (XE)
fields; see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/Createindex.htm. A TOC (see
http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html) lists headings in the
order in which they appear in the document.
