Brian: Thanks as usual for your explanation - someone needs to make sure all your posts are forwarded to the documentation team so they can see what they've inadvertently overlooked. Part of the confusion (at least to me) is the relationship between the index structure settings and the paragraph definitions in the normal styles used for the index table entries. I began experimenting with how these interact (not a good idea as I'm actually trying to accomplish something, but I was curious). Luckily it was very cold outside so the windows were tightly shut and I couldn't jump. It all seems to make perfect sense when setting up a table of contents, so why this should be so confusing I don't know - maybe I'm just too old. BUT - the main point is that you got the formatting squared away. Still other issues with the alphabetical indexing however, but I'm about to make another post on that.
