Hi Jon, If there is a way, it's probably pretty convoluted. When you think about it, it only makes sense that FM behaves the way it does. The purpose of a master page is to serve as a single-page template, with placeholders for text and variables, and other content like watermarks that never change. Although that content is visible on body pages, you cannot edit it -- it belongs to the master page, not the body page. Since a master page does not have a page number of its own, its content cannot be included in a TOC or other generated file. In other words, you've been trying to use master pages for a purpose they weren't intended for. Set up your master pages with all the placeholders you need, but put the actual content on the body pages.
