How do you automate the point size of page numbers in a generated index?

Question

In Framemaker 10 I have a generated index for a book. The indexed items are in point size 10 but the generated page numbers come out in 12 pt.
Can I automate the page number size to be 10 pt?
I have tried defining a character tag IndexPage Numbers and entered the following on the index Reference page:
Level1IX
<IndexPageNumbers><$pagenum>
Level2IX
<IndexPageNumbers><$pagenum>
but this does produce the desired point size.
Thanks

Error,
I was just generating an index today and had this weird behavior. The level1IX, level2IX, and level3IX entries formatted as expected (TNR, 11pt, plain) but the markers and page numbers displayed as 24pt, bold, Arial which matched the IndexIX format. What is that format for anyway? My user guide does not mention its purpose.
I looked at the reference page and there was a paragraph formatted as IndexIX with this content:
<$pagenum>
It was 24pt, arial, bold, and centered.
Another manual had an index that formatted properly last week but it too had the above <$pagenum> tag. So it's confusing as to the different behavior.
I reformatted the <$pagenum>/IndexIX paragraph to TNR, 11pt, plain (in the index file), regenerated the index, and now the page number formatting matches the entry formatting.
Again, is IndexIX the format for the index page numbers only and why does Frame insert <$pagenum> in the Index spec. on the reference page?
Yours,
