Subject:RE. Index from multiple documents? From:Roger Bell <RBell -at- OptioSoftware -dot- com> To:TECHWR-L <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 25 May 2000 10:57:02 -0400
David, you didn't indicate what kind of documents these are. Perhaps they
include many proprietary formats. In that case, I don't know the solution.
However, if they are all MS Word documents (.doc), then you can do this with
index field codes.
Good luck,
Roger

Ideally, the tool will go into each document, pull out keywords and then
create the index in a separate document.
Is this the fantasy of a crazed developer's mind, or is something similar
available? I told him I would ask, but he shouldn't get his hopes up.
