What is the suggested approach? Are both volumes in a single .book file? Or do you have separate .books for each volume? If it's one book: 1. create the TOC and place it in Volume 1. 2. create an empty file where the TOC for volume 2 should go. 3. In this empty file, place the Volume 1 TOC as a text inset. - ** This E-mail is confidential. It may also be legally privileged.

RE: What is the recommended way of having a TOC appear in multiple places of a book?
In Structured FrameMaker: * Put all the files in one "super book" * Set the Pagination and Numbering settings, particularly the Volume settings * Generate a single TOC and Index for the super book * Place TOC and Index in both sub-books * Print to PDF * Split into separate PDFs in Acrobat You'll probably want to money with the Index specification, as multi-book indexing references can be... trying. This will work in any version of FrameMaker that supports Volume naming and numbering (7.0+, IIRC). The Structured method is totally different (and I only know IBMIDDOC's method, not DITA/FM-XML).

Re: What is the recommended way of having a TOC appear in multiple places of a book?
You could have a third book including all non-generated files from both books and incorporate its TOC and index by reference in the two real books.

If it's two books: 1. create a third book that contains both volumes. Make sure the page numbering settings are consistent with your volumes.. 2. add a TOC to this book and generate it. 3. take this TOC and add it to both volumes as an ordinary (non-generated) FM file. In both cases, you may have to update the book multiple times until all the page numbers are correct. Harro de Jong Triview ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.
