The two section breaks created by the {INDEX ...} field are unavoidable. I think you'll find, though, that they retain the page-numbering characteristic you want. I have no problem with page numbering set up exactly as you describe.

HTML Indexer 4 is still the easiest way to create and maintain indexes
for web sites, intranets, HTML Help, JavaHelp, and other HTML documents.
Now with fully integrated cross-references, target frames and windows,
multiple-file output, "one-step accept" of default entries, and more!
