Do you have multiple TOC entries/pages in the Reference pages? I've seen that when importing formats, etc from other files. Walk the reference pages in the TOC files to see if you have multiple references pages with TOC formats on them.
After you format the TOC entries, don't import anything from other files, as you may be overwriting changes you made to the TOC file. sharon Sharon Burton Product Evangelist, Author-it 951-369-8590 IM: sharonvbur...@yahoo.com Twitter: sharonburton Blog: www.author-it.com/blog <http://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonvburton> http://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonvburton From: Prithvi Diwanji [mailto:prithvi.diwa...@druva.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2011 7:53 AM To: sha...@anthrobytes.com Cc: Bill Swallow; framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: table of contents loses formatting.... thanks. yes, i can confirm that i did not do any hand formatting. i created the appropriate tab stops using the para designer etc. i followed the correct steps to format the TOC entries on the reference page. what i am talking about when i say lose formatting is a total loss of all changes made on the reference pages, incl changes to ChapterTitleTOC, Heading1TOC styles ( done through the para designer). the next time i generate the toc i get the images and layouts and everything else on the title page file, which precedes the TOC file in the book. i can see this because i can see a logo image there which was not present earlier. the toc entries become plain text. in short, the first time the changes made to the reference pages stick, the next time (next update of book) they disappear and take on the formats of the preceding file.

On the Reference page, make sure that you are specifying things like tabs using the characters and not hand formatting. See the Frame Documentation for details about formatting TOC entries on Reference pages. sharon Sharon Burton Product Evangelist, Author-it 951-369-8590 IM: sharonvbur...@yahoo.com Twitter: sharonburton Blog: www.author-it.com/blog <http://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonvburton> http://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonvburton From: Prithvi Diwanji [mailto:prithvi.diwa...@druva.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2011 6:55 AM To: sha...@anthrobytes.com; Bill Swallow Cc: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: table of contents loses formatting.... thank you, all. sharon, your solution worked... thanks to your help i have been able to fix most problems. one niggling problem remains: every time i generate the TOC, format the TOC styles etc in the reference page, it works. now if i close the TOC file and update the book, and then re-open the TOC file, i lose all changes i made to the reference page and the TOC looks unformatted again. (it takes the formats and layouts from the title page preceding it, i guess....) can anyone help me fix this? thanks a lot...
