    You can use a macro to loop through the fields, let the macro check if the field type is XE and then take the required action.

     

    Should the \f "a" switch be added to all of your XE fields? Or is there some other pattern that can be specified?

        OK, since you want to modify all the XE fields, try the following: 

         

        Sub ModifyAllXEFields()
'Stefan Blom, MVP, September 2022
Dim f As Field
For Each f In ActiveDocument.Fields
If f.Type = wdFieldIndexEntry Then
f.Code.Text = f.Code.Text & " \f ""a"""
End If
Next f
End Sub
