Re: PDF a "book" of Word files
Use the RD Field.
The RD field is great if you just need to create a TOC and index, but it won't help you create the single PDF from multiple files.
If you use RD fields, you'll have to hard-code the page numbers in each file; create a PDF from each of those files; create the TOC, other front matter, and index in another file; then use Acrobat to splice it all together.
INCLUDETEXT fields give you the same ability to create a TOC and index that span multiple files *with* the benefit of letting you make a single PDF in one pass, because the separate files temporarily become part of the "container" file that holds them. It might take a long time and really requires a machine with a lot of RAM, but it should work.
