Hello, this appears to be a bug. If not, please point me to the location in 
your documentation where
you explain a workaround.
 
When I code this in a DITA topic:
 
    <indexterm>EUR
     <index-see>End User Reporting</index-see>
    </indexterm> 
 
which is in accordance with the DITA 1.2 specification, I get this warning 
message in XML Utility:
 
    file:/S:/ITS/dita_eur/topics/c_introduction.dita:19:17: index term "EUR" is 
not a leaf term: ignoring the index-see element 
 
and the "see" index element is not generated in the resulting DOCX.
 
The index entry in the DOCX file should look like this:
 
     EUR, see End User Reporting
 
A "leaf" according to the DITA 1.2 specification is a child of an index entry. 
In this case, the "see" term is not a child in the 
same sense as other nested index entries.
 
The only reference I can find to a "leaf" in your documentation is a statement 
I have copied below, which I don't understand.
 


Because we consider this feature to be truly useful, we'll generate page 
references and ``see also'' redirections even for non-leaf index terms.
No warnings will be reported in this case. If you don't like this specificity, 
simply do not author such indexterm elements. 

 
Please advise.
 
Thank you,
Julie McHam
