I hate to be a bother here, but I'm up against a publication deadline. If I can't find another solution then I'm left with recreating a multi-page TOC by hand. Ack. Can anybody even tell me if they can reproduce this issue? Just export to PDF any document with an auto-generated TOC and see if the links are in reverse Z-order when viewed in Adobe Reader. If not, then I'd love to discover what the difference is between our systems. Otherwise, I would call this a bug... -Alan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
