I'm in pretty much the same situation. I've always been too busy to
index my manuals. However, when we switched to Webworks to create the
help it became necessary in order for the help files to have indexes,
so now I do hammer together a very basic index for each book that is
also used as the source for online help. I've gotten better at the
FrameMaker index markers, so I can usually put an index together in
about 4 to 8 hours, depending on the size of the book.
