Thanks Shlomo. I tried your idea and it worked. I just want to point out that it seems that making the fonts the same in index entry style and the page number style was not enough. I also had to click Update All to remove the overrides. I assume that is by design but it's a bit confusing. I wish Adobe could figure out how to simplify their interfaces.
