MiKTeX 2.9 64 bit.

In the Code Preview pane I see, e.g., \index{GIF|see{Image formats}}.

In Document settings, I see

Document class is KOMA-Script book with custom class options:

refpage,intoc,bibliography=totoc,index=totoc,BCOR7.5mm,captions=tableheading

Indexes is default. (Presumably MakeIndex?) and in the preamble I see

% macro for italic page numbers in the index

\newcommand{\IndexDef}[1]{\textit{#1}}
