Martin Tulic: Software for Indexing

This is the site of a professional indexer who discusses the various sorts of software available for indexing. IndexAssistant helps with embedded indexing in Word. As Tulic notes, the disadvantage of embedded indexing is that "The major disadvantage is that embedded indexing is often more time-consuming than other computer-assisted approaches to indexing, especially when editing the index. That is partly due to the fact that the index is not visibly updated as entries are added one after another." IndexAssistant makes the entries in your index visible throughout the building process.
