Creating indexes is painful. That’s all there is to it. Regardless of the pain involved, I see many people using indexes when they’re just not necessary. A 100-page document certainly doesn’t need an index, particularly if it already has a well-defined table of contents.
In my opinion, the easiest way to create an index is by using the concordance file method. Search for the word “concordance” under Word’s help for instructions.
You’ll likely need the person that determines the index entries to go through a hard copy of the document and highlight—with a highlighter pen—every word that should be indexed. They only have to highlight each word one time. Then, create a concordance file according to Word’s Help.
It’s still a tedious task even when you use this easier method.
