Problems with generating an index
When I regenerate an existing index, words and phrases are sporadically
bolded and the Index 1 level style is changed to italics. I can go into the style and take off the italics and save the style, but when I generate the index again, the italics are back on the Index 1 style. There is no bolding in the XE entries, there is no italics in the XE entries--these are added randomly (in the case of bold) and added to the specific Index 1 style. Any solutions or ideas? |

Problems with generating an index
Hi ?B?RHVua2ll?=,
When I regenerate an existing index, words and phrases are sporadically bolded and the Index 1 level style is changed to italics. I can go into the style and take off the italics and save the style, but when I generate the index again, the italics are back on the Index 1 style. There is no bolding in the XE entries, there is no italics in the XE entries--these are added randomly (in the case of bold) and added to the specific Index 1 style. Any solutions or ideas? Have you checked the style definition to make sure it's not "updating automatically" or updating from another file (a template)? And have you checked that the document is not set to update styles automatically? (If you don't know where to find that, which version of Word are you using?)

Problems with generating an index
I had already checked both of the items you suggested before I sent the first
message. Any other suggestions? It seems to me that it's a "bug" maybe? I've had several people try it on the same document, different computers--they get the same thing.

Problems with generating an index
Hi Dunkie,
I had already checked both of the items you suggested before I sent the first message. Any other suggestions? It seems to me that it's a "bug" maybe? I've had several people try it on the same document, different computers--they get the same thing. Well, I don't know about "bug", but it could be that this particular document (or its template) has been damaged internally. A common way to test something like this quickly is to copy/Paste everything except the last paragraph mark to a new document and see if the behavior persists, although I don't know if that would "cure" a problem in the styles management of the internal document structures. It might work better to save to another file format (such as "web page"), close, re-open and test.
