Index page numbering

[Tracey]

Hi

I have a Word 2003 document with many many indexes, my latest issue is
around the index page numbering.

One of my indexes results in the following being generated
Ardvark, Mary............12
Bat, Jon.....................14,18,22
Camel, Douglas..........10

How do I get it so it looks like this
Ardvark, Mary..........................12
Bat, Jon..........................14,18,22
Camel, Douglas........................10

Also despite regularly going into the index formating and telling it to have
right hand justified numbering with a leader line - this seems to turn its
self off for no reason and I get Camerl, Douglas 10 - as this is driving me
nuts it would be good if anyone has had this before and knows how to fix it
once and for all.

Many thanks

Try the following:

Modify the appropriate index style (for example, Index 1) to have a
right-aligned tab stop at the position where you want the page numbers, and
specify the desired tab leader.

Then press Alt+F9 to show field codes in the document. The INDEX field will
look something like this: { INDEX \c "1" }. Add the \e switch to the field
code, and then type "" after it. Between the quotation marks, insert a tab
(simply by pressing the TAB key). You will get something like this:

{ INDEX \c "1" \e "<tab character here" }

Press F9 to update the field.
