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. http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/ Greg Kearney
