Hi Deirdre, When you generate a table of contents or a list of paragraphs, FrameMaker inserts a new paragraph in the generated document for each paragraph retrieved.
However, you can generate a table of Collectors, Effectivities, and CH Numbers as you describe--complete with cross-reference links--with a little scripting. The FrameScript language makes it possible to extend FrameMaker's out-of-the-box capabilities. If you don't have the time or the interest in learning to write scripts, you will find a number of people on this list and elsewhere (yours truly among them) who could implement a solution for you within a few days paid consulting time. If your documents are lengthy or updated frequently, it may well be worth your time to invest in a solution to automate the task. You can check out my web site at www.golehtek.com for more information about the consulting services that I provide. The FrameScript users list, hosted under Yahoo Groups, is also a good resource, as is the FrameScript web site at www.framescript.com. Best regards, Martin Martin R.
