Index entries appear in wrong font

Guest

I'm frustrated with Word's indexing feature. When I mark an item for an index
entry, Word adopts the font of the entry when placing it into the index,
rather than maintaining the font of the index style. I must manually go
through the index and change the font for these entries. Is there a way
around this?

It would appear that you have applied direct font formatting to the text at
the point where the XE field was inserted. XE fields will not pick up font
formatting that is part of the paragraph style.
