Well I have a little egg on my face. I was putting the transparent index stuff
after the ".)z" in my macro rather than before. After fixing that I was still
having trouble with the index entries lining up when it was printed. Adding
the ".ti 0.0i" fixed that, I think.
.(z

Text of figure
.)c
.ce
Figure 5.
