How to automatically find pages a word is on

[noralexanian]

Hello, I am really new to this forum and OpenOffice. I am trying to figure out how I can make a list of words and next to the word it automatically lists page numbers that the word is on.

E.g.

Apples
32, 78, 102

Oranges
16, 32, 90

etc.

Look in Help file for "Index"

As a new poster you will find much useful information in the Writer FAQ, the Writer Tutorials, the up to date Writer guide and the Writer Manual. May I suggest you bookmark the pages.

Press F1 to access the Help screen and search for your problem.

The chapter headings in the manual are:

1 - Introducing Writer
2 - Setting up Writer
3 - Working with Text
4 - Formatting Pages
5 - Printing, Exporting, Faxing and E-Mailing
6 - Introduction to Styles
7 - Working with Styles
8 - Working with Graphics
9 - Working with Tables
10 - Working with Templates
11 - Using Mail Merge
12 - Tables of Contents, Indexes and Bibliographies
13 - Working with Master Documents
14 - Working with Fields
15 - Using Forms in Writer
16 - Customizing Writer – Keyboard shortcuts.

See Chapter 12 - Tables of Contents, Indexes and Bibliographies

When a pop-up window opens, click the Help button for extensive help on that function - it is often more comprehensive than the manual.
