This was a very bad decision to have this "functionality." I'm truly amazed that they would think this is a good feature. Having lots of partially broken links in my PDF is not worth whatever they think they are gaining in terms of functionality.
If they really think this is such an important feature, they could at least put in an option in the settings to opt out of this feature, and not have broken links. If they make this one change, I'm going to ask my company to pay for a new version, which I haven't done in years.

(Their response to my: I seem to recall that I ran up against a similar problem about 15 years ago and ultimately tracked it down to prohibited (but not documented) punctuation characters in the headings that weren't appearing in the ToC). Other ones do contain a character formatting change in the middle of the link (not at the beginning as Craig asked), so I obviously was taught incorrectly or remember incorrectly that as long as the character didn't begin the link, all was OK. Long story short - Rick Quatro is going to revamp a script that will solve the issue and save the day yet again for another FM user (especially me), and I can stop banging my head on the wall - about this little gem anyway. Thank you everyone for your responses. Every single time that I post to this list, I not only get the answer that I need but I also learn so many little tidbits and extra gems of knowledge about FM that can come only from tribal knowledge and everyone's years of experience. Have safe, healthy, and happy holidays.

If they don't, try deleting or; hiding the bad ones one with a condition. Perhaps the problem material falls on some kind of border or limit. Have you tried creating a placeholder chapter ahead of the book materials, then regenerating? If that fixes it, resett the numberings or hide it, to ignore the placeholder, and regen.

All the EquationCaption paragraph tags are formatted identically without any overrides or additional character settings. But if you have any other ideas or thoughts I would definitely welcome them.

I have a book for which I am generating a TOC. I have selected the necessary paragraph tags for the TOC and generated. All the entries in the TOC are functioning as hyperlinks as they should with the exception of 5 specific entries. They are deader than a door nail. The first TOC entry above this set of five entries is an active hyperlink and the first TOC entry below this group of 5 is also an active hyperlink. I have done the following: 1. Deleted this specific text in the book and re-entered it. 2. Confirmed that there is no override to any of these tags - the text is EquationCaption w/out any overrides (No asterisk is showing for them.) 3. Turned on all conditional text settings and generated the book to check and see if there was something buried in the hidden text that was causing the issue, but even w/ all the conditions turned on, I still have the issue. 4. Added the same kind of tag (an Equation Caption) directly above and directly below the section of five that are giving me fits and regenerated and the tag above and below are indeed hyperlinks but these 5 remain stubbornly dead. 5. All the equations are PDFs in this book, so I assumed that maybe there was a graphic issue, so I deleted the five relevant graphics and regenerated and again, the links are still dead. I am at a loss at this point. It is just this one small section in an otherwise large and graphic-laden manual, so there's nothing common about this issue that I can compare to other sections in this book as no other sections are giving me this problem. I would welcome any and all suggestions, insight, etc. Regards, TVB Tammy Van Boening Tammy dot vanboening at spectrumwritingllc dot com
