Navigator should also list all Index Entries.
 
Currently the user cannot directly jump to any Index Entry, because of the
following limitations:
1. The Index Entry dialog is designed for sequential access
>> It does not allow direct access to any desired Index Entry
>> It does not allow any desired occurrence of a given Index Entry

2. Unlike TOC, page numbers in the Indexes are not hyperlinked.

The only way a user can go to a desired Index Entry is this:
1. Look up an Index and check the page number for the desired Index Entry.
2. Enter this page number in the Navigator to jump to that page
3. Activate field shadings and locate the Index Entry on the page.
4. Right-click on the Index Entry to start the dialog with focus on the desired
entry

This has to be repeated for each entry.

Obviously this is too tedious.

As a solution, the Navigator should also list all Index entries. 
User will then be able to browse all Index entries, and jump to any occurrence
of any entry in the document.

Note that I have made two another suggestions:
(a) The Navigator should be searchable (independently from the document's 
search). 
(b) Provide type ahead (predictive entry) facility in Navigator, so that when we
type a string, a matching entry is selected..

Collectively, these features will make management of Index Entries very
user-friendly.
