Mark In my attempt to create the hierarchical list of books by author I only concentrated on the my-toc-selective-expandable macro that Jed provided, since that seemed like it would produce the desired outcome. Initially I ignored the other part of his post on the other macros. In trying those I am able to produce, a linear checklist of all Authors and all Books not a checklist showing Parent (author)/child (book) with checkboxes next to each child.. My programming skills are not very good. Perhaps you could show me what you did to produce your results.
Thank you for taking the time to look into my situation and responding.
