Word can. I don't know if you've looked at Word's indexing fields (XE and Index), but they take all the headache of page numbers out of your hands. Word has a separate concordance generator, but that is *not* its indexing feature. I use Word's indexing feature almost daily, and it does exactly what you're describing.
SKY, Cindex, and Macrex offer a better "indexing environment" (allowing you to create permutations automatically, for instance), but they don't have a connectino into Word that I'm aware of.
Check the web sites for these three products. Each has a downloadable demo and a contact for questions like yours.
