To have the entire TOC paragraph active (including its page number), avoid character formatting in TOC items on the Reference page TOC specification (eg, H1TOC should be blue and/or the same font/size throughout.) However, the problem may still be encountered when source TOC items retrieved have character properties such as subscript, superscript or font changes -- some examples can be found at http://www.microtype.com/Hmmms.html#0305 If character formats in the TOC cannot be avoided (either retrieved from source paragraphs or required by design), I recommend using FrameScript to duplicate the hypertext marker present at the beginning of each TOC entry for each distinct character format area within that entry (independently of whether this property change comes from the TOC specification on the Reference page or from the source TOC item). Such a script can also be extended to deal with other TOC problems.

Hypertext links for page numbers in PDF contents
Greetings, I generated a TOC using the standard process, that is, Add Table of Contents, include tags, create hypertext links. I can generate a PDF, which works fine. In the Table of Contents, the links to the headings are working; however, the customer also wants the little hand to appear over the page number and links to work for the page numbers-not just the headings. Thus, the customer needs to be able to click anywhere on the line, not just the heading. Is there any easy way to set it up in Frame? Thanks, Lori Lori J.
