Hi,
You can't switch a 16 bit file from grayscale to indexed in Photoshop CS.
From Kieth's paper:
* Better yet, if you can stay in 16-bit grayscale for all of your
editing, apply the curve before switching to 8-bit mode. Photoshop CS
allows the use of 16-bit files for most functions, but not for indexed
color mode.
