Default I just created an index but all the page numbers are wrong. Help!

XE (index entry) fields are Hidden text. As long as you have them displayed
(as they are by default after you enter them), pagination will be thrown
off. You must hide Hidden text before generating (or updating) the index.

soon
as I hid them the page numbers are wrong and I don't know how to get it to
repaginate. Help!
