I have a list of key words contained in a book.

I want Word to lookup all the pages containing each word and enter a page
number for it...

Like the index in a book.

Reading Help on doing an Index confuses me as it sounds like it is trying to
relate two words or something.

1 - Will Word create a book index with page numbers from a key word list?
2 - Can anyone give me a tip on how to do this?

Thanks for any help.

I have no idea what's become of it. I'll alert the author/Webmaster.
