how to add tab before separator placeholder (1,2-3) for a stand-alone index (of markers) for a document (not book, one document of the book)?

I am using Framemaker  11

Normally for a standard index for a book, I add a tab before the separator placeholder (1, 2-3) to achieve the following  format of my index. The tab is added in the reference page before the "1, 2-3" and it translates back to the Body page and then by easily applying the paragraph format I can add a dotted line (see results below)

Text flow (notice the tab before "1, 2-3"Result achieved with shown formatting


However, when I try do the same for a stand-alone index of makers, it does not happen. I can add the tab in front of separator placeholder "1, 2-3" but it doesn't translate back to body page. Is there a way to acheive the same formatting (right tab with dotted lines) for a stand alone index of markers?

Works for me. Are you selecting the Special > Index of > Markers again to re-generate the IOM file after setting things up for the tabs?
