Summary: Edit Index Entry dialog: Replace "Apply" button with

document with several index entries
Enhancement proposal/request for "Edit Index Entry" dialog.
At present, the only function of the "Apply" button in the dialog is to "save"
the currently changed index entry (before using the "Close" button to close the
dialog).
(if you use the navigation arrows in the dialog, then you will see that
changing from one index entry to another results in any changes being applied
automatically).
Proposal 1: Make the "Close" button automatically save any changes that are
made in the current index entry.
Proposal 2: Change the functionality of the "Apply" button (and relabel it to
"Reset") so that it "resets" any changes to the current entry that have not yet
been applied.
Reasons:
For proposal 1 -- eliminates an extra step/click in the workflow.
For proposal 2 -- at present the "Apply" button is only needed for closing a
just-changed entry. If proposal 1 is implemented, then, in principle, the
"Apply" button could be deleted. But even better would be to offer the
possibility to reset the current entry from any changes that were made (by
accident). This would also allow resetting the entry before closing, if
necessary.
[To see the dialog, use Insert - Table of Contents and Index - Index Entry to
insert an index entry, then right-click in the entry and choose "Edit Index
Entry". It can be useful to insert several entries so that the Navigation
buttons appear, or use the attached test document which has several inserted
index entries. Make sure that "View - Field Shadings" (Ctrl+F8) is enabled to
find the entries.]
