You could try to standardize the conversion process and write a quick tool to create the index. For example in one of my projects here's what I did. I developed a cast member naming convention something like "cstTxtTerms1", "cstTxtTerms2", etc. Each cast member contained a lot of text a term and its definition. Each term-definition pair will constitute a paragraph and the terms and their definitions are seperated by a "~~" sign. The cast member naming convention also mapped to the frame labels. I then wrote a quick a tool to go through each cast member and build the index. Hope this helps.
