Workflow for creating an index in LyX

[_johnny7_ger at web.de]

Hello,
I have a book in LyX that I have almost finished. Now I want to add an
index of persons.
I'd imagine a workflow like this:

- Next to the name Arthur Smith I create an index entry box 'Smith, Arthur'.
- I copy the name and the box.
- Using advanced find and replace I paste the text and box into the
replace field.
- I put (Arthur) Smith in the search field.
- I search the document for the name and in every instance I want to
include in the index I replace the name with the name and box.

Any thoughts? I've looked for help/manuals for index creation with LyX
but only come across rather technical questions.
Thanks!
