Hi Martin_g,
Not knowing what time resources you may have available, if you are in this for the longer term and have the time available, you might glance at the attachments at the bottom of my posting (which is the very last one on page 2) on L&L at [url]comparison to other word processors and writing tools] that outlines a LaTeX option for creating an index.
I’ve been using Scrivener+LaTeX for over a year, and (without having any prior knowledge of either software package) have created a robust, real time indexing system in LaTeX that is outlined at the above URL on L&L. While LaTeX has thousands of ‘packages’ available to do amazing things, Scrivener amplifies that utility with a brilliant interface that together with LaTeX works seamlessly.
Due to the depth and breadth of what LaTeX offers, the learning curve can be steep. If you are curious and persistent, however, the pairing of Scrivener+LaTeX could prove beneficial in the longer term, but perhaps not so much in the short term,
Hope some of this may be of some help,
scrive
