[Techshoret] Re: FrameMaker index question

[Shmuel Wolfson]

Thanks Shlomo. I tried your idea and it worked.

I just want to point out that it seems that making the fonts the same in 
index entry style and the page number style was not enough. I also had 
to click Update All to remove the overrides. I assume that is by design 
but it's a bit confusing. I wish Adobe could figure out how to simplify 
their interfaces.
