The "Mark All" option applies only to "all occurrences that are in the file
right now", not to "all occurrences that may be added in the future". You're
going to have to mark the entries in the new pages as if those terms were
never marked at all.
There's some confusion (Microsoft's fault!) about Show/Hide vs. field codes.
For most fields, including the INDEX field, Show/Hide has no effect at all
on whether you see field codes or field results. For that you use Alt+F9
(for the whole document) or Shift+F9 or the right-click/Toggle Field Codes
command (for a single field). The index-marking (XE) fields and the
table-of-contents-marking (TC) fields are different -- they're formatted as
Hidden text, so Show/Hide does control them.

I was indexing the first chapter of a manuscript. I then inserted at
the end the next part of the chapter and i want the index to simply
continue on indexing the new pages. Most of my entries I've marked
Mark All. The index is not taking on the new pages. urgent help
needed.
Also, when I display the field codes by clicking on Show/Hide, the
{INDEX} field does not show.
I'm using Word 2003, Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2
