Both the formats to be selected in the TOC setup and the formats actually selected are part of the Book component. They are not part of the TOC file. So naturally, until you update a book for the first time to gather the list of all formats, there is nothing to select. And, if you copy a TOC from elsewhere, there are no formats selected. Eric L.

Have to say I'm intrigued as to what possible purpose a TOC of a TOC would serve. But, the only way to automatically set-up a generated file would be to use FrameScript. Or Have a book set up with a TOC and other generated files as you want them, then use that "book template" to build new books. - Copy the template book, and associated generated files templates to a new location. - Open template book. - Save book with the new desired name. - Profit from a fully set-up book. You could even have "placeholder" book components set up correctly. Rename the placeholder components in the book to match the "real" files when building a new book. Eric L.

Instead of saying xxTOC styles, I should have said styles that were used to make the TOC. The rest of the qestion stands, and in fact, my co-worker, using a variantion on Karen's instruction, was able to do exactly what we needed. Thanks, Karen :-) I'll try to get him to writeup how he did it sometime next week...we're both in training clases today and tomorrow, then he heads bck to Chicago.

If you have a previous TOC version that you like: 1. Generate new TOC. Save the file and close. 2. Open old TOC. Save As new TOC file name. 3. Regenerate TOC. Karen L. Zorn Zorn Technologies, Inc.

You don't want to do that unless you're generating some strange sort of meta-TOC. What you want to list in the Include pane are the *document* paragraph tags that you want to include as entries in the TOC. When you generated the TOC, the file you get will contain all of the paragraphs that match the "include" tag names, packaged in paragraphs that have the TOC suffix. You'd only want to include xxxTOC paragraphs in the TOC setup if you were extracting the contents of a generated TOC into a new, meta-TOC. Or maybe I don't know what your real question is?

Karen...no, it doesn't. 1) I have a book, named Test, with three files: TestFile1 TestFile2 TestFile3 No TOC yet 2) In the book, I select Add -> Table of Contents. I do not move any styles, just click the Add button. It creates TestTOC.fm 3) I open an existing TOC, we'll call it mpls_install_guideTOC.fm 4) I save it as c:\temp\TestTOC.fm and say its OK to overwrite 5) Return back to test.book, select Edit -> Update Book 6) Click all option except Apply Master Page, the testTOC is in generate, and click Update. 7) Highlight the file testTOC.fm, right click and select Set Up table of Contents No styleas are in the left side pane.

Why do you want TOC styles? This isn't clear. The TOC styles are automatically created by FM in the TOC file itself; you use them to format paragraphs in the TOC. You *don't* use them to include paragraph tags from other files. Basically, it goes like this: 1. You create a TOC using Setup Table of Contents, and include all the regular paragraph tags from the individual files that you want represented in the TOC. So if you have ChapterTitle, H1, H2, and H3 as paragraph tags for the chapter title and heading 1-3, you'd include those in the left-hand column. 2. When you generate the TOC, FM automatically adds these paragraph tags to the TOC file: ChapterTitleTOC H1TOC H2TOC H3TOC 3. FM also adds a reference page to the TOC file called "TOC". On this page, it adds 4 lines that start out looking something like <$pagenum> If you click in a line, you'll see that it has one of the paragraph tags listed in the preceding step 2. The line works like an autonumber format, and governs how an entry will appear in the TOC. For example, if you put in the following line )<$paranum>)<$paratext>) <$pagenum> (the parentheses stand for tab marks) and then tag it with the paragraph tag "ChapterTItleTOC", then in your TOC, the chapter title entries will start tabbed in from the starting point, and will consist of the chapter number, the title, two spaces, and then the page number in bold. 4. FM maintains the association between an ordinary paragraph tag in your files and its TOC entry by having the TOC entry's paragraph tag be TOC. You can't change this. If you change ChapterTitleTOC to UghTOC and then delete ChapterTitleTOC, FM will just automatically create another one. As you can see, it makes no sense to have paragraph tags ending in "TOC" in the Setup Table of Contents dialog box. By the way, FM has a somewhat hidden shortcut for moving all the entries from one column to another (Oracle calls this type of control a "shuttle", and you "shuttle" an entry between columns using the shuttle buttons.) Hold down the shift key, and then click the arrow key. This will move *everything*. The best place to use this is in the Generate Acrobat Data dialog box, to clear out the paragraph tags FM puts into your PDF before you add what you want.
