I'm still not sure I understand why the index entries use a period in the first place. I have never seen an index that uses that punctuation convention. But assuming that the intent is that *every* index entry ends in a period, I would include it in the index specifications on the IX reference page of the index file rather than including it in each and every index entry marker, since a missing period in a marker (which can happen quite easily) would result in a second, unpunctuated entry in the compiled index. Just go to the IX reference page and find the SeparatorsIX paragraph. Add a period (or whetever other character you want to use as an entry terminator) at the very start of the paragraph, before the separator space. Then regenerate the index. -Fred Ridder
