Turns out their idea of a concordance does not agree with mine. They
define a Concordance as (concordance file: A list of words to include
in an index. <javascript:AppendPopup(this,'WdConcordance_3')> This
seems odd to me.
To me, a concordance is a "Keyword in Context" file with reference to
the place in the document where the context occurs. My first experience
with a Concordance was Strong's Concordance of the King James Bible,
where each (significant?) word is shown in context everywhere it occurs
in that Bible.

Yes. First you need to add captions to the items concerned. Go to Insert |
Caption... or right-click | Caption... to do this. (Perhaps you have already
done this.) Then create your index in a similar way to how you would a table
of contents.
o Go to Insert | Indexes and Tables > | Indexes and Tables... | Index/Table |
Type and title.
o Against Type, select what you need from the drop-down menu. "Illustration Index" and
"Index of Tables" are both available.
I trust this helps.

Well Dang! I misread the intent of the question completely.
I want to generate an index of keywords (and perhaps phrases) in a document.
That's involved if done by hand, and if automatic, one has to have heuristics
to decide what to include. And an automatic index would have to have some words
the author would prefer were in the index and conversely.
Does anyone know of an automatic index generator? One way is:
Create a file of pairs of each of the words in the document with the page
number where it occurs.
Remove unwanted words, (a, an, the, of, for, from, then, than, conjugations of "to be"
and "to have" etc.
Remove other words not wanted in the index. Sort the pairs alphabetically on
the words, ignoring case.
Might want to do the "Remove unwanted words" here, where they will all be
together.
Remove duplicates, making a list of the page numbers of the occurrences on the remaining instance of the word.
This is a naive algorithm, but I have thought about the problem a bit.
My solution requires some programming, which I DO NOT want to do. Does anyone
know of a better solution out there? I hope so for otherwise I won't have an
index generator otherwise.
