Index Style Override doesn't always work

[MikeTO]

This is 100% repeatable but I don't know the true root cause. The attached video uses a very basic test document with index marks for the same topic on pages 1, 2, 3, and 4. The mark on page 2 has style override set to Strong. The video shows the index being inserted and the index is correct: 1, 2, 3, 4 with the 2 bolded.

Next the video shows inserting a page break before the content on page 2, moving the index mark with the style override to page 3. The index is then deleted and reinserted (because update index doesn't work right now) and now the index is 1, 2, 3, 4, the 2 is not bolded as it should be.

That's the end of the video but if you insert another page break moving the index mark with the style override to page 4, the index entry will still not be bolded. The problem can be duplicated if you turn facing pages off, too. I don't know why style override sometimes works and sometimes doesn't but for now it can't be used.

I've attached the test document so you can try it out but this is easy to duplicate.

More information on this - style override for an index marker can lead to just that one index entry for that topic being override (correct), all of the index entries for that topic not having the style applied (incorrect, as shown in my example), or all of the index entries for that topic having their style overridden. So you could end up with any of these results when what you want is the first outcome. This feature isn't currently functional.
