Thanks Suzanne, I went back and regenerated the index style and then added
the relevant index descriptors into the code, it regenerated the same but
now this time I could see the second tab mark that seemed to be causing the
problem for some of the enteries. I deleted it and now its regenerating with
the page number for each entry fully right hand justified each time I update
it.
Thanks for the help, it was such a easy thing to fix once I followed through
your suggestion.

That suggests that modification of the relevant Index style is required (to
re-add the tab stop).

Hi Suzanne

Nothing to the errant ones. The ones that are nicely left hand justifed
with a leader line all shrink back to a small tab size and the leader line
disappears.

Cheers

What happens if you select the errant entry and press Ctrl+Q?

Hi, Im creating multiple indexes in a word 2003 document. The basic
entry
structure is {XE "Cancer Services:Bray, Susan"\f "clinical programme"}
and
the index is {INDEX \f"clinical programme"\e" "\c"2"}
The output is
Cancer Services
Bray, Susan................14
Murphy, Howard..........11
Peterson, Peter............. 9

The problem is that the tabs dont always seem to work and I can get
this
result
Cancer Services
Bray, Susan................14
Murphy, Howard11
Peterson, Peter.............9

I cant find any difference in the code for each of the people so Im at
a
loss for while this happens.

Any ideas would be welcomed
Cheers

group so Ive resubmitted it in the correct area - sorry for the
duplication
