Table of Contents Question - 2
Chris Despopoulos has a great utility "TOCbreaker" that helps solve this
problem if you're running under Windows. See
http://www.telecable.es/personales/cud/cssIndex.htm where you can get more info
about this (and other tools).
You'll have to make the manual breaks once, but thereafter can easily restore
those same line breaks after generating a new table of contents..

Subject: RE: Table of Contents Question - 2
Thanks for the answers. I think my mind is becoming blurry that I
can't see the easy answers and think they all have to be much more complex than
they are.
I have a second issue.
the text I want in the table of contents is left justified and the page
number is right justified. I use the Reference Page
<$elementonly>(tab)<$pagenum>. When the text is just long enough that it
"runs into" the page number the page number wraps to the next line instead of
the text "breaking" and then wrapping. Here's an example of what I mean:
ILS or ILS/RADAR RWY 26L...177
SID(VECTOR) NON JET RICHMOND.
178
SID(VECTOR) VANCOUVER..179
NOISE ABATEMENT (pg 1)180
Is there a way to detect the conflict and "break" the text for page 178
so that it reads like this:
ILS or ILS/RADAR RWY 26L...177
SID(VECTOR) NON JET
RICHMOND178
SID(VECTOR) VANCOUVER..179
NOISE ABATEMENT (pg 1)180

Subject: Table of Contents Question
I have a table of contents that is dynamically generated from the
contents of a book (I do this for 12 different books). At times the length of
the text in the element I have to use to create the entries in the table of
contents is too long and it wraps to a second line.
Is there a way to elegantly handle this situation?
What I would like to be able to do is set up a tab so that when the
text wraps there is a little bit of an indent to show that the new line is
still part of the original element.
Thanks in advance,

Table of Contents Question - 2
I believe you could do that with a FrameScript script that would count in X number of characters from the start of the line, test to make sure the cursor was between a space and an alpha, and then insert a soft return to force the second line. If you don't do FrameScript yourself, I'd talk to Rick Quatro at frameexpert.com. Art On 11/23/05, Tweedy, Scott wrote: > > Thanks for the answers.

Occasionally, you may encounter an instance where you want the line to break earlier. You can force a line break by going to the *source heading* for the TOC entry and changing the spaces *after* where you want the break into non-breaking spaces.
