Questions about andnote and the creation of an index of authors at the end of a MS WORD 2007 document ?

Hi,

I’m currently working on a a very long MS Word 2007 document (550 pages).

I used Endnote 9 to insert references in my footnotes. I’d now like to create an index of authors at the end of my MS word document (index nominum). I don’t edit my citations immédiately when I write, since I’m used to modifying the library quite often.

Hence the following questions:

Do I need to edit the citations and to format the bibliography before I mark the entries for the index of authors (350 authors) I want to create in my ms word document ? Or is it possible to mark the entries and then to edit the citations and to format the bibliography ? Since I may need to add footnotes with references in my document, I would like to mark the entries of the index before I edit the citations. Is it possible ?

Hoping that my questions are clear

Thank you for your help,

Carmenita
