These are very good questions to go into the Frame documentation and look up. I'd look up importing formats, formatting a TOC, and so on.
The specific details should be in the documentation and would take a long time for someone to type out here for you. Go look at that info, try what the instructions say and then come back with specific questions. sharon Sharon Burton Product Evangelist, Author-it 951-369-8590 IM: [email protected] Twitter: sharonburton Blog: www.author-it.com/blog <http://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonvburton> http://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonvburton From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Prithvi Diwanji Sent: Monday, April 25, 2011 7:47 AM To: Bill Swallow Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: master pages for table of contents hello bill, thanks for the reply. i will try this. the thing is: my chapter has a first, right and left page. does all of this get applied when i import page layouts from chapter to toc? only the right and left seem to get applied. i want the first page of the TOC to have a text frame that is smaller than the right page, so that i can add a "contents" frame above it. also how does one get page numbers to appear, in this method? thanks On Mon, Apr 25, 2011 at 7:45 PM, Bill Swallow <[email protected]> wrote: You should have FM automatically create the TOC file and then import your page layouts from the chapter file into the TOC, then modify the TOC styles as needed to fit that layout. That's it. The reason "nothing is working" is likely because per your process the TOC file in your book contains no TOC elements on the reference pages for FM to use in building a TOC. Best practice is to import layouts into a generated TOC file.
