You understood me correctly, but the user should be able to define
several styles.
As a take-off on your idea (of warning before printing), how about a way
to check (via a menu command) if the TOC is out of sync, in addition to
the warning before printing. However, this should include chapter TOCs
as well. If your feature would work for mini-TOCs but not text inset
TOCs, I guess that would be good enough, even though I have tons of docs
that still use the text inset TOCs.
Another option would be to have a warning in the dialog box that opens
after a book update that the TOC (and maybe LOF or LOT) has changes in
chapter X, and that you should update the local TOC if one exists. This
would be enough to address my issue of headings changing pages. Actually
there is a potential problem with this solution that if you use only
three heading levels in the TOC, but use four levels in the chapter TOC,
it would be have check for that also.
Also, your idea does not address tables that have rows that move onto a
new page. I think a warning as the table rows actually move to a new
page would be a good idea for this problem.

Hi Shmuel,
thanks for your answer. I'm not sure if I completely understand the requirement. Do I understand right, that
you would like to be able to define a specific style (e.g. "Heading1") in some sort of
"Repagination Warning Setup" (dialog) and whenever you add or remove content somewhere that makes
one of the paragraphs tagged with "Heading1" on some other page move to some other page you get a
warning message? (Same for the table example you mentioned.)
Plus: I'm just wondering right now, if a feature that automatically warns you when you
want to save as PDF / print that your automatically generated lists (TOC, IX etc.) are
"out of sync" and recommends to update them. Would that be useful?

Subject: Re: [Framers] "Secret" Freeze Pagination Feature
Hi Stefan,
Instead of freeze pagination, what I would like is a pagination warning.
This feature would, when turned on, warn you when a paragraph with one of the
user-specified specified styles moves to a new page, and when some rows of a
table end up on a new page. This would be helpful when editing a doc, so that
you know when the pagination changed and the TOC needs to be updated, or to
look over the tables to see where rows moved to a new page. For extra credit,
the feature would also provide a list of where these changes occurred. This
would be a great help. Many times after a few edits, I find myself reviewing
the entire doc to see where the headings appear and updating all the TOCs just
in case a heading, table caption or figure caption, moved to a new page.
The current feature the way it is is pretty much useless to me.
