Tabs in TOC
I'm sure there's a really easy explanation for this, and I'm just overlooking it because I can't see the forest for the trees. I'm working on the TOC for a document. In the references pages, I have $paratextTAB$pagenum. After updating the TOC (but before I put the dot headers in), it should show up as follows: paratext)$pagenum (with that parenthesis mark representing the tab symbol) When I go to the Body Page, it should have something like the following: Introduction)1 (again, with that parenthesis mark representing Framemaker's tab symbol) Instead, the body page has IntroductionTAB1. For some reason, it's not reading TAB as code for tabbing. I tried using /t instead, but it did the same thing (Introduction/t1). Anyone have any idea what's going on? Thanks!

Re: Tabs in TOC
Nina, Are you putting a tab stop between the variables on the Reference Page of the TOC, or literally inserting the three letters TAB? It needs to be a real tab stop. If it's inserting the letters TAB it's because that's what you put on the Reference page... And then you need to modify the corresponding paragraph tag (Heading1TOC, for instance) to have a tab stop at the appropriate spot. That's also where you'd set the leadering. Be sure to save the TOC file before updating the book to use the new settings. Art Art Campbell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...

Tabs in TOC
I'm sure there's a really easy explanation for this, and I'm just overlooking it because I can't see the forest for the trees. I'm working on the TOC for a document. In the references pages, I have <$paratext>TAB<$pagenum>. After updating the TOC (but before I put the dot headers in), it should show up as follows: )<$pagenum> (with that "parenthesis" mark representing the tab symbol) When I go to the Body Page, it should have something like the following: Introduction)1 (again, with that "parenthesis" mark representing Framemaker's tab symbol) Instead, the body page has IntroductionTAB1. For some reason, it's not reading TAB as code for tabbing. I tried using /t instead, but it did the same thing (Introduction/t1). Anyone have any idea what's going on? Thanks! Nina

Nina, Are you putting a tab stop between the variables on the Reference Page of the TOC, or literally inserting the three letters "TAB?" It needs to be a real tab stop. If it's inserting the letters "TAB" it's because that's what you put on the Reference page... And then you need to modify the corresponding paragraph tag (Heading1TOC, for instance) to have a tab stop at the appropriate spot. That's also where you'd set the leadering.
