linking to a pdf or just plain html file. GOing to try again and
maybe it was something else going on.

There is such a thing. It requires a steep learning curve but it is
free and produces perfect output. TeX and its extension TeXtures was
designed for the production of academic papers and such. There is a
VoiceOver compatible front end for TeX called TeXShop. Not only will
it produce indexes but TeX will do mathematical typesetting, number
figures, do foot and end notes and bibliographies in any style you can
think of. It will output picture perfect documents every time so you
don't have to guess what your output will look like.
I wrote my thesis in TeXtures. My reader, an old curmudgeon of a
professor had the habit of taking a look at a paper and then deciding
that he wanted the notes and bibliography in some other style than
what you had it typed in so you had to go back and redo everything. So
when I did my paper I had TeX set the style in about seven different
forms (Chicago, MLA, APA, etc.) and had the seven copies with me when
I turned it in. When this professor told me he wanted it in Chicago
rather than MLA style I simply reached into my case and handed him the
Chicago style version. He was stunned as he had never had a student do
such a thing before.
Take my word for it TeX is the way to go it will reward you well for
years to come.
