Thanks Steve,
A bit above my pay-grade, I fear. My secretary uses libreoffice, for
which she has a pleading paper template (perhaps she made it). She has
no problem getting .odt files onto searchable pdfs. I think she just
does up the document and then adds the pleading template. Not sure. I
am sure that she thinks I am silly to insist on using lyx when
searchable pleading paper with indexes is required. On the other hand,
to the extent that what I do can be called "thinking," (some wouldn't
call it that) I think in lyx, not .odt.

Indexes is often very fragile, and the pleading paper template are
quite crude. The problem is that an index pages are very different to
a normal page (two columns etc). However, by moving the numbering to
after the index I were able to get it working.
If you need the numbering on the index pages as well, it would be
more tricky... And you probably either need to find another way, or
ask someone with more LaTeX-index knowledge than me.

I've also found that indexes often require multiple runs of latex or
makeindex, and if you really want it to work right, it's often best to
set up a shellscript to export LyX to LaTeX, then compile that, run
makeindex, compile again, then convert to ps and then pdf. This has the
added benefit of leaving behind all sorts of temp files that you can
use to troubleshoot the issue.
Thanks,
