Randall, While the plug-in was not a perfect solution, once my toc was stable, I set up the page breaks and line breaks. Then I just had to select the two menu options to have them automatically applied again. I found that much easier than redoing all the breaks manually.
The only other feasible solution that I investigated was a custom script that I believe would still entail an additional step after updating the book. You can contact Rick Quatro (rick at frameexpert.com) if you want to know more. He's the person I've used before for scripts (just a satisfied customer). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Linda G.

It crops up now and then and "now" it has cropped up again. None of the tips others have left for you work for me either. I tried the plugin...but for me I might as well just remember to stick in manual breaks at the end of the process. Not much difference for me. It's not graceful, but it needs to be done. -- Randall Larson-Maynard Senior Editor/Curriculum Coordinator UC Davis, Office of the University Registrar RLLarsonMaynard(at)UCDavis.edu 530.752.6141 Fax 530.752.0329 Google Talk, AIM, & Yahoo!
