Re: Looking for a Word Indexing Plug-in

Hi Jim,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I've looked at DEXter on the Editorium site and the tool looks great for 
managing large indexes, but don't see an option  that creates hyper 
links, similar to Word's TOC feature. Am I missing it somewhere?

What I'm looking for a a tool that will create hyperlinks from the Word 
index so that when I convert to PDF, users can click the index page 
entry and go to that page. I don't see this feature in DEXter.

Regards,
Frank.
