Hi Richard, That doesn't work.
If I select the paragraph format for that level of IX entry, apply, then choose update all, nothing happens. The errant format doesn't change to the correct one. If I try the character format palette, selecting the proper font and size, when I choose apply the one selected instance changes. If I choose update all, my choices in the Global Update Options dialog are "All Characters and Catalog Entries" which changes every style to this one; "All Matching Tags in Selection" which changes only what's selected, that is, one numeral at a time; or "All Tagged..." but nothing in the pop-up list applies--not only do I not know what or if these default-looking numerals are tagged, but none of the list items have anything to do with index entries or the default font. :-( K At 1:04 PM -0700 10/25/12, Combs, Richard wrote: >Karen Robbins wrote: > >> Some time ago I ran into trouble with the commas between index entry >> page numerals rendering in the wrong font.
