can someone give me some insight into this? i have read practically everything that i could search for..
the changes made to the reference page of the toc do not "stick" after updating the book.n if the book is: -- title -- toc -- chapter1 -- chapter2 after i update the book, the toc takes the formats from the title page and loses all the changes i made on the reference pages. thanks in advance. prithvi On Tue, Apr 26, 2011 at 8:57 PM, Sharon Burton <[email protected]>wrote: > Do you have multiple TOC entries/pages in the Reference pages?
