To do this, use any of the following methods.

Method 1:

Select the XE or TC field and press CTRL+SPACEBAR. This forces the character formatting to return to the default of the current style.

Method 2:

Use a macro to automate this process. The following macro resets each of the XE fields in the document. Use this macro to reset direct formatting that affects your index.

          Sub MAIN
          Dim TOV As ToolsOptionsView
          GetCurValues TOV
          If TOV.ShowAll = 0 Then
             ToolsOptionsView .ShowAll = 1
             Change$ = "yes"
          End If
          EditBookmark .Name = "ClearFormats", .Add
          StartOfDocument
          EditFind .Find = "^d XE", .Direction = 0, .MatchCase = 0,
          .WholeWord = 0, .PatternMatch = 0, .SoundsLike = 0, .Format =
          0, .Wrap = 1
          While EditFindFound()
             ResetChar
             EditFind
          Wend
          StartOfDocument
          EditFind .Find = "^dXE", .Direction = 0, .MatchCase = 0,
          .WholeWord = 0, .PatternMatch = 0, .SoundsLike = 0, .Format =
          0, .Wrap = 1
          While EditFindFound()
             ResetChar
             EditFind
          Wend
          EditSelectAll
          UpdateFields
          EditGoTo .Destination = "ClearFormats"
          If Change$ = "yes" Then ToolsOptionsView .ShowAll = 0
          End Sub
				

Method 3:

Use the following macro to remove the direct formatting applied to each of the TC fields and then update the table of contents:

          Sub MAIN
          Dim TOV As ToolsOptionsView
          GetCurValues TOV
          If TOV.ShowAll = 0 Then
             ToolsOptionsView .ShowAll = 1
             Change$ = "yes"
          End If
          EditBookmark .Name = "ClearFormats", .Add
          StartOfDocument
          EditFind .Find = "^d TC", .Direction = 0, .MatchCase = 0,
          .WholeWord = 0, .PatternMatch = 0, .SoundsLike = 0, .Format =
          0, .Wrap = 1
          While EditFindFound()
             ResetChar
             EditFind
          Wend
          StartOfDocument
          EditFind .Find = "^dTC", .Direction = 0, .MatchCase = 0,
          .WholeWord = 0, .PatternMatch = 0, .SoundsLike = 0, .Format =
          0, .Wrap = 1
          While EditFindFound()
             ResetChar
             EditFind
          Wend
          EditFind .Find = "^19 toc"
          SendKeys "{F9}%e{enter}"
          EditGoTo .Destination = "ClearFormats"
          If Change$ = "yes" Then ToolsOptionsView .ShowAll = 0
          End Sub
