Different Styles for Multiple Indices

Hi,

I have a rather large document in which I'm creating two indices: one for
acronyms {\f "a"} and the other for definitions {\f "d"}. I'm using the \t
switch to contain either the acronym description or the word/phrase
definition, since I don't really want page numbers to show. The problem
however, lies in when I try to apply different Index styles to my {INDEX}
field.

For the {INDEX \f "a"} acronym index, I've chosen an indented index type so
that the acronyms & associated descriptions appear in a columnar fashion;
I've modified Index 1 style to meet this desire.

But for the {INDEX \f "d"} field, I've tried to do a run-in type of index
and I've tried to click the Modify button to choose Index 2 style, but I
can't seem to get that selection to stick. Somehow it keeps defaulting back
to Index 1, which is formatted for my acronym list.

I have found a workaround by manually reformatting my definitions list with
my desired formatting and then locking the field. But this really sort of
defeats the purpose of automating it all. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

You can't control which styles are being used for the index entries. In a
run-in index, all entries use the Index 1 style; in an indented index, Word
applies the appropriate Index style (Index 1, Index 2, and so on, up to
Index 9) based on the level of indentation.

Hi Stefan--Thanks for letting me know. I've found a way around this by
making my acronyms indexed entries and my definitions TOA entries. Not
perfect, but it gets the job done! Thanks again.--JT

Me, either. Since I don't type legal briefs, I've never had a need for this
feature (or a need to figure out what it does/how it works).
