I did just as you, creating the report in Publishing Center. On the Contents tab, Descendant Report is highlighted. On the Additional tab, the box by Index Options is checked. Click on Index Options. On the Name Index tab, check the box by Include a Name Index and the box by Include Alternate Names. Choose whatever other options you want here. Click OK.
Create the RTF. In Word 2007, click on the References tab. Once in the Reference toolbar, click on Insert Index, and it will appear. You can format it how you wish, being Word. All my names, regular and alternate appear.

This has been reported and acknowledged as a bug by Legacy staff. You aren't doing what I am. Go to Books>Publishing Center>Descendant Report. Create a book in .rtf format. When it opens up Center>in Word, go to Options>View. Check All under Formatting marks. Go back to your report. You'll see coding for names so they show up in the Name List, but there is no coding for Alternate Names. It will only say. Emily is usually called Emmy - no coding. I'm just wondering if it will ever be fixed.

Alternate names in the name index shows up in my Legacy. I went to: Reports > Reports Menu > Books/Other > Descendants button. Make sure the "Index Options" is checked, and click "Index Options." Make sure that BOTH "Include a Name Index" and "Include alternate names" are checked. It should work for you then.
