Dear All, Greetings from Pune, India. Thank god for Framemaker!
I am a freelance technical writer for multidisciplinary 'non-IT' engineering - mechanical, electrical, electronics, instrumentation, automation and such. One of the manuals I was working on had a page 'x of y' format (like page 4 of 40). Inserting the current page number and the total number of pages is the easy part. 1. View - Master Pages 2. Format - Headers & Footers - Insert Page # 3. Add an 'of' text after Page # 4. Format - Headers & Footers - Insert Page Count 5. Switch back to View - Body Pages At this point the pages show the page numbers in the headers or footer in the 'x of y' format. After this, how does on include this page number format while making a TOC? The TOC setup procedure (Add-Table of Content) permits the addition of the following Paragraph Tags - Body, Bulleted, CellBody, CellHeading, Footnote, Heading1, Heading2, HeadingRunln, Indented, Numbered, Numbered1, Table Footnote, TableTitle and Title. Is there a similar procedure to tweak the number formats in the TOC? I have experimented by adding <$lastpagenum> variable in the reference page of the TOC (like <$pagenum> of <$lastpagenum>, of which the "<$pagenum>" is generated automatically by the TOC process while the "of <$lastpagenum>" is inserted by me). This does not work at all. Do you have a solution for my query? -- Regards, *Apurva*
