I'm not seeing that here. I created a page of dummy text, selected one
paragraph and formatted it as Heading 1, then selected one word and use
Alt+Shift+X to create a index entry field. Although the XE field does have
the same formatting as the heading (16-pt Arial Bold), when I insert an
index (Insert | Reference | Index and Tables), the index entry is in default
Index 1 style (12-pt TNR), as expected.

Hm. My headings are built-in (or modified) styles (I've verified this),
but I
still get index entries that are a different font size...
Any ideas?
Thx

I'm about to beging building a large index, and I'd like to know if
there
is
an easy way to control the formatting of the reference field text. My
past
experience (with both XP and Office 2007 -- I currently use 2007), is
that
the reference will be formatted in the same way as the referenced text
(e.g.
Heading 2 references appear with the same Heading 2 formatting, which
is
different from Heading 3 and body text formatting).
I know I can manually go into each reference and change the font
formatting,
but that is a pain and very time-intensive, due to the length of my
document.
Thx
