If you need an index with reference to pages,
I doubt that it will be easy or even possible with Scribus
Personally, I would rather use a text editor like LibreOffice
Then, if you need fancy formatting around your text,
and/or printer-ready PDF of the book with cropmarks,
it would be possible to place pages into Scribus
as PDF exported from LibreOffice...

Thank you, Mr. Pittman, for replying to my email with a lot of information.
So is there an option to have a list of words fed into scribus as a
separate text file and have that list as Index? Yes, references,
bibliography, et al, have to be entered manually. But any shortcuts
available to make the work easier?
Hi Rajib,
Scribus is a frame-based layout program. So you create pages, then on those
pages place your text inside text frames. For the main body of your book, you
would presumably have a series of pages with the frames linked from one page to
the next, and your text imported from a file. You could then add one or more
pages to the end with text frames into which you load your index list from a
file.
There aren't built-in shortcuts to this process.
Greg
