I wanted to include an index as part of a very large report I generate from EA. Unfortunately EA cannot do this directly but I found a way round.
You have to use "Auto Mark" and a concordance file (for word but should work for other word processors)
A concordance file is a file with a table that define all the term you which to have indexed.The table has 2 columns and 1 row for each term - col 1 the term , col 2 the text/description. This table I generate in EA - in my case it simple as I want an index of element aliases.
Once I have the concordance file I go into word, go to generate index and there select "Auto Mark" - which then demands the name of the file. Once this has been done just generate the index.
The same is possible with the RTF file using other work processing tools.
