Well, you can keep the 2-part page number from breaking in the middle by using a non-breaking hyphen as the separator character. The entry would still break across lines, but at least the break would be more logical.
And you might also decrease the space between the entry text and the page number; in your little example it seems kind of excessive (although I know the example is not realistic...) so you're more likely to get breaking lines. Or you could go to a 2-column layout for the index rather than a 3-column layout. Unless the font is pretty small, 3-column indexes often look cramped to me. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

(I cannot use only two levels - I have gone over this with an indexing guru - sigh!) Anyway, The first level is not indented, the second level is only slightly indented beneath the first and the third level is slightly indented beneath the second - pretty standard stuff. Based on the indentations, however, sometimes, a page number for the second level and third levels breaks across a line: Level 1 1-1 Level 2 2- 1 Level 3 3- 1 Ok, my editor does not like this and I really don't either, but short of manually adjusting this everytime I generate an Index, is there a plug-in/what else can I do to make this happen automatically (something like TOCBreaker is ringing a bell, but. . .) and unfortunately, the option to change the template is not one - it's an in-house/approved template and I just can't go willy-nilly changing it.
