Aw go on, Dan, people disagree with me ALL the time!
(But hey, due respect is cool.)

And well, ok, I guess this is no longer true. I got
stuck in Word97 for so long, and my experience showed
me this was consistently true: a bold paragraph style
gives me a bold entry in the index. Alsways put the
index code in the middle of a plain vanilla text
paragraph.  Now I just checked in Word2K, and nope,
you're right.  Being bold in the paragraph has no
effect on the font in the actual index.  In fact, it's
when I turn off the formatting (manually return just
the coded words to not-bold) that it comes out bold in
the index.

Sheesh, I'm getting dizzy.  Thanks for the update. 
Everyone else please just, y'know, carry on.
