Tammy, FrameMaker uses the building block <$sectionnum> to number the section. I am wondering what the reference page shows for the TOC list. If you see the actions listed but not populating properly, you will likely have to edit the Reference Page to emulate the format for the Chapter TOC entry. Go to View>Reference Pages (it is toward the bottom of the menu).
You will see something that looks like this: openXmlElementId <$relfilename>:<$UniqueXmlElementId> <$RelativeXmlElementId> openObjectId <$relfilename>:<$ObjectType> <$ObjectId> <$paratext> ................................<$chapnum>-<$pagenum> <$paratext> ................................<$sectionnum>-<$pagenum> Each of the <$paratext> lines references either the chapters or sections as you perhaps set up to include in the TOC list. You may have to edit the line for the Sections to get it to populate correctly and you may have to add tabs to the TOC paragraphs to get them to carry the dotted leader line from the text to the Page Number. Remember that you have to Update the book after making any edits to the Reference page. It may take a few updates before it is behaving correctly for you. Good luck. *Sincerely,* *Gerard Conklin | Principal Technical Writer, **User/Operator Content & Products** | Mission Systems* *COLLINS AEROSPACE* 400 Collins Road NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52498 USA *Tel:* +1 319 263 3173 *gerard.conk...@collins.com <gerard.conk...@collins.com>* | *collinsaerospace.com <http://collinsaerospace.com>* CONFIDENTIALITY WARNING: This message may contain proprietary and/or privileged information of Collins Aerospace and its affiliated companies.
