Hi Richard,
That doesn't work.
If I select the paragraph format for that level of IX entry, apply,
then choose update all, nothing happens. The errant format doesn't
change to the correct one.
If I try the character format palette, selecting the proper font and
size, when I choose apply the one selected instance changes. If I
choose update all, my choices in the Global Update Options dialog are
"All Characters and Catalog Entries" which changes every style to
this one; "All Matching Tags in Selection" which changes only what's
selected, that is, one numeral at a time; or "All Tagged..." but
nothing in the pop-up list applies--not only do I not know what or if
these default-looking numerals are tagged, but none of the list items
have anything to do with index entries or the default font.
:-(

Some time ago I ran into trouble with the commas between index entry

the index reference page where I could format the style of index
elements. It solved the problem at the time.
Now index entry page numerals render in (default) 12 pt Times--not my
format for IX levels--when I update the index. On the index reference
page, if I format the " 1, 2--3" item to my style, it doesn't seem to
have any effect on the body pages.
The "1,2-3" item is a SeparatorsIX paragraph. It's not enough to
modify the specific instance in the reference page IX flow -- you
need to Update All (in Paragraph Designer) to make your changes
apply to all other instances.
That said, SeparatorsIX has nothing to do with the page numbers --
that's the IndexIX paragraph format. But the same principle applies
to it and to all the other paragraph formats in the reference page
IX flow. When you change the formatting on the reference page, you
must use Update All to apply that change to the paragraph format
definition and thus to all instances, not just the one you changed.
HTH!
