Default Different Styles for Multiple Indices

I suspected that, but I wasn't sure. I do occasionally use the web
interface, but I never use the notification.

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

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,

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!

I never use either, but there keep being reports in the private NGs, and the
latest is that, once again, NNTP posts aren't making it to the Web at all.
