It is normal behavior for the active area in generated indexes to include only
the page numbers and the leading punctuation. The reason is that it is
completely normal to have a list of multiple page numbers for any given index
entry. Whenever you have multiple page references it makes no sense to include
the text of the index entry as part of the hotspot for the first page
reference, and it makes no sense to have two different behaviors depending on
single or multiple references, so the standard behavior is the one that's right
for multipel references. This is one of the fundamental differences between a
generated list (one entry per occurrence) and a generated index (multiple
references per entry).
If you are generating a special kind of index where no entry ever has more than
one page reference, it is possible to move the hypertext marker (or to create a
duplicate copy) of each hypertext marker at the beginning of each index entry
paragraph so that the active area includes the whole paragraph rather than just
the page number. I believe someone has written a script to do this if you have
FrameScript on your system. Or else you could generate it as a list rather than
an index.
