I should have known Shlomo was correct, and I apologize for doubting him. It took me a while to figure out why my experience was different. I knew there was no char format applied anywhere in my index entries or in the ref page index spec. And before posting, I confirmed that my Level1IX and IndexIX pgf formats had the same Default Font settings. So why does the active area in my indexes not extend to the left of the page number? Um, well ... because the SeparatorsIX pgf has different Default Font settings. And as a consequence, the space before the page number has a different font, terminating the active area. The origin of this SeparatorsIX pgf format are lost in the mists of time. This is the behavior I've seen for as long as I can remember, and I assumed it was just The Way Things Worked. In the immortal words of Emily Littela, "Oh. That's different. Never mind!" (Sorry, Shlomo!) Richard Richard G.
