Am I missing something or do I have to manually index mark each name (of which there are over 2,000 contained in 18 chapters in the book)? I thought that one could earmark a style to include in an index. Is it possible to do a search and replace with index markers? The looming task of clicking on each entry isn't appealing. Suggestions - certainly others must have encountered similar situations.

I was hopeful by the links, but after testing IndexMatic, it does not capture the entire name. Because the names are defined by a paragraph style (due to imported data), a first name and the last name are separate entries and are listed as such in the resulting output. Any other suggestions?

I did a quick Google search and found this...
Don't know if it will help you or not.
Can I also point out.
I layout books for a living, very large books... in Australia, Publishers use specific people for Indexing these large books. There is a whole association for these people.
That means, it's hard...
There is no easy way to do this...
Sorry for the negativity, just thought I'd mention it...
