Tools: Problem with index page ranges using InDesign CS

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

Using InDesign CS on my Mac, and trying to index a book. On the  
whole, it's going well, except for one vexing problem: When I insert  
an index entry with a page range using the "To next use of  
Style" (followed by choosing a style name), often all I get is only  
the first page of the range. Sometimes it does work, and provides the  
correct page range, but I can't see any difference in the Page  
Reference Options dialogue box or in the Indexing Palette that would  
explain the difference or hint at a solution.

For the moment, I'm kludging my way around the problem by using the  
"for the next X pages" option, but I'd rather use the "to next use of  
style" instead; that way, if I expand part of a chapter, the index  
entry will update automatically.

Any thoughts on what's going wrong and how to fix it?
