Default Creating an Index based on Table Heading

I am trying to create an index for a large document which contains multiple
tables. I have set it up so that each of the tables has the same fields and
styles. I have tried using a concordance file to create the index, but it is
entirely too long. I would like to know if there is a way to create an index
for a document of this format which would be more of an automated way of
creating an index as the fields in each of the tables are the same (only
different values). I'm not sure of how to write a macro for something like
this (if that can be done by looking at StyleRefs). ALso, if the data in the
table changes (change name of one of the tables or the values) i would like
to be able to have the index be updated as well so that if a new document of
this type is created, i would not have to go through and re-mark all of the
fields. Any ideas that anyone might have will be appreciated. Thank you in
advance.

Default Creating an Index based on Table Heading

Is it really an index (alphabetical list of key words) or a table of
contents (list of headings in the order in which they appear in the
document) that you want?

Since an index relies on XE fields, depending on how you update the tables,
the XE fields would still be in place. I guess you're going to have to
provide more information about the composition of the tables and what is
being indexed.
