It does sound like you have based your TOC on para tags, not elements. Try redefining your TOC to search for elements instead. If you have trouble differentiating between nested Head or Title elements, add Context Label rules to your EDD. That will allow you to format the Head or Title para tags in the TOC based upon 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level headings.

It's rather difficult to offer help when the problems is essentially unknown... When you setup the TOC, did you specify that it was based on elements, or paragraphs? If paragraph formats, then you will certainly have a TOC that is useless useless the EDD is very good about assigning formats to the elements based on context rules, and also context labels if you have the same element (e.g. Title) used in multiple parent containers, (such as Figure and Table.) Format overrides may still happen, but as a TOC almost always reformats the information it is no different than TOCs in unstructured FrameMaker. If the TOC is based on elements, you will have to verify that the structure is correctly assigned to the content. If there are multiple choices for content of a specific element, it may be that these are incorrect, and thus what you think should be included in the TOC is not as it is not the correct element. Based on the questions you've posted in this list, I recommend you get some training ASAP. Structured Frame is a great product, but defintely is more complex than most authors/editors are familiar with and requires knowledge to use effectively. It also is not for every project unless other requirements dictate use of strcutred files. On Friday, December 12, 2008 11:13, Adriana Harper wrote: | I am using structured FM.
