Index formatting
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 |

Index formatting
The index entry will *not* be formatted the same as the heading provided the
formatting is part of the style and not applied directly; XE fields do pick up direct (manual) formatting. -- Suzanne S.

Index formatting
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 "Suzanne S.

Index formatting
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. -- Suzanne S.
