How can I keep the changes to the styles for the Classic index in my style
template? They disappear when I attach the template to a new document.

You checked the box for "Add to template" when you made the changes?

Yes. The styles change when I regenerate the "Classic" index style. They
revert back to Times New Roman. I had changed it to Arial by modifying the
style. I selected "Add to template." It looks good until I create a new index
using the "Classic" style. I'm creating a master template for other writers
to use.

Thanks.

Instead of using Classic, you need to use "From template," once you have
modified the styles.

Do you know a way to automatically create the letter division headers
automatically with the "From template"? That's why I was using the "Classic"
however we don't use the Times Font. That is why I was hoping I could somehow
change the font in the "Classic."

Thanks for your time.

All of these features of the index show up as switches in the INDEX field.
See the Help topic "Field codes: Index field." The \h field specifies the
heading you need. What you should probably do is save the index field,
formatted as desired, in the template as an AutoText entry.
