Hi:

	A friend of mine is writing a book using Word 4.0 and she's
having difficulties creating indexes and Tables.  The way she writes 
her book is as follows.  She writes each chapter one by one and numbers
each of the chapters from page 1.  She creates indexes for each chapter
using Word's "Insert Index" feature.  However, now the book is almost
finished.  She wants to combine all the indexes for each chapter into
one Big index (to be located at the end of the book).  But she doesn't
know how she should do this.  

	I told her that if she's got the final version set, she could
start each chapter at the appropriate page numbers instead of always
from page 1 and the indexes associated with each chapter will be updated
accordingly.  Am I correct?  I can't find anything explicit in the
Word manual.  Assuming this can be done, how can she merge all the indexes
into one appropriately?  

	Alternatively, should she merge all the chapters?  I don't like
this idea.  I think she's going to end up with a huge document which will
take forever to edit and save.  


	Her second problem is with Tables.  She used the Insert Table 
command to start a 2-column table.  She then started typing away.  
After she typed in approximately 100 entries (rows), she goes into
the PageView mode.  However, she can only see the first 25 rows.  In other
words, she can only see page 1.  Page 2 and the rest are blank.  Somehow
Word put all her entires into page 1, but because she has so many entires,
only the first 25 rows show up on page 1.  I am not sure what it would
be like if she tries to print them out.  The same thing is observed 
when I use Print Preview.  Repagination does not fix this problem.
I cna't find anything in the manual about this either.

	Please help as her deadline is fast approaching, < 7 days.
	sorry to impose on the net like this, but it's quite
	urgent to her.


	Thanks in advance.
