index padding in Word 2003 (bug?)

[Guest]

I have a document in mixed english/japanese, and need to generate an index
for it. Problem is, Word seems to refuse to pad index entries that consist of
only one letter. This would be sort of defendable for English, but an index
term consisting of one Japanese "letter" is typically just a normal full
word. Since word refuses to pad it, my index looks a lot like swiss cheese
instead of a tidy index.

I can't find any option that allows me to say "just pad single letters too"
in the index building dialog, so I'm getting a tad annoyed with the fact that
there appears to be a bug in the form of a feature assumption that is
invalid... =/

Does anyone know how to solve, or work around, this problem?

Hi Mike,

I don't know the answer, but I think you'll probably get more help in
the microsoft.public.word.international.features newsgroup:
