Thank you, Philipp,

This works perfectly.
I had seen the small print in that page but had obviously not read it
carefully enough.

So two of my problems are solved, the main wish, to be able to make an
index with distinguishable entries, is still unfulfilled, not only for
me but for at least two others.
Let's someone on the list can shine some light on that one too.

Kind regards,
Robert
