Hi,

how would you do it with the UI of InDesign?

Give a step by step description.

There are already some scripts around for indexing specially formatted text.

See Peter Kahrel's blog and list of scripts here:

Also look perhaps into this:

I'm not sure, what you want exactly to do.

Do you want a ordered list of contents of paragraphs formatted with a special paragraph style plus the page name in front of it? Something like this:

33 Contents of paragraph found with all formatting

35 Contents of paragraph found with all formatting

122 Contents of paragraph found with all formatting

…
