A platform for knowledge creators
Not just for one book.
My book, "PowerShell for Everyday Office Work - Practical Automation with PowerShell 7 in Windows for Offices, Churches and Small Businesses," a 300-page book, is the first real-world manuscript that pushed the development of this tool, but the engine is designed for books, theses, manuals, journals, commentaries, and technical documentation.

Help and frequently asked questions.
Start with the quick workflow, then find answers to common questions about WordIndexer.
Quick help
Browse for a DOCX manuscript, select a reviewed JSON dictionary, choose an output folder, select Index or Glossary, and click Run. Open the result in Word, press Ctrl+A, then F9, and save the document.
Review first
Use Analyze before Index. Review discovered candidates in CSV, approve only meaningful terms, add definitions, and keep private manuscripts and generated output out of Git.
Why does WordIndexer take time on a large manuscript?
Large DOCX files and documents containing many tables can take time to scan and save. The desktop application runs these tasks in the background.
Why do I press Ctrl+A, then F9?
WordIndexer inserts XE and INDEX fields. Microsoft Word calculates page numbers and populates the visible index when fields are updated.
How do I include table content?
Enable Include table cells in the GUI or use the --include-tables option in the command line.
Why is a glossary entry missing?
Only dictionary entries with definitions are included in the glossary. Add a definition to the reviewed dictionary and generate the glossary again.
Will WordIndexer change my original manuscript?
No. WordIndexer writes a new output document and leaves the source manuscript unchanged.
