How to index a Word document in TExtract

With TExtract you create the back-of-book index for your English language MS Word manuscript in three steps, using a unique combination of automated and manual indexing:

1. Drop the Word .docx file onto TExtract. The initial index is created fully automatically. Running through the text to mark entries is not needed.
2. You edit and expand the index in TExtract using powerful and easy to use in-text navigation, selection and editing features, available in no other software.
3. Then TExtract embeds the entries in a copy of the Word file, and you can run Word and insert the index.

Here's more about the features of TExtract and about the differences with other software.
