Greg,

... The generated entries in my FrameMaker index look fine
and are formatted properly, except for entries that
require more than one line. The problem there is that
spaces between words in the FIRST line of a multi-line
entry are much too wide..... that is, there is only a
single space character between each word, but each space
character is much wider than normal (equivalent to the
width of perhaps three or four normal spaces in some
instances). This is true ONLY for the first line in a
multi-line entry; the spaces in the second line appear
normal. ...


Is it possible that you have a "Jusified" alignment setting in the Level1IX paragraph format?

Can you also see the same problem in the sample Ecology book provided with FrameMaker (typically stored at C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMakerX\samples\overview\book\ecologyIX.fm)?
