Kabeljauws Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I have a problem with creating the index. When there are more pagenumbers than the column is wide it 'doubles' the pagenumbers. See the attachment. Spend an hour to fix it or find a solution but couldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Check the paragraph leading specified in the text style you're using for your index entries (by default, Index Entry 1). It's acting as though you have overridden the leading to 0 for that paragraph style.

Kabeljauws Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Thanks Walt. Still don't get it quite. If I select all the entries of a letter, then both Index Entry and Index Entry 1 are selected. When I choose "Apply Index Entry 1 to Characters" (which has a dash before it instead of a check) my above mentioned problem disappears.

walt.farrell Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Look at the definition of Index Entry and of Index Entry 1 by editing them from the Text Styles panel. (Actually, look at the index style you are using; those are just default text styles, and you may have assigned your own that have different names.) Check the Paragraph Leading values in each. One of them is probably 0. (Alternatively, with the text cursor in the index term, look in the Paragraph studio panel and check the Leading value. Or look in the Context Toolbar. But to fix this will probably require an update to the text style.) (Or provide a sample document with the problem that we can look at.) My guess: You were trying to get the index entries closer together, and at some point you changed the Leading value. After noticing that did not help, you then discovered that you needed to change the Space After setting, and did so, but forgot to remove your Leading change. sfriedberg and Kabeljauws 1 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabeljauws Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Tada. Deleted the index, made a new one, looked at what you wrote and I think have solved it now. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
