Adobe Framemaker/Framemaker 7.1 TOC

Advertisement

Expert: - 3/24/2011


Question
When I generate a TOC, I get numeral 1's at each Chapter TitleTOC, when I would rather have a space across there, as I don't use that marker type.

Also, I would like to add the word "Index" to the page number, so it shows up as Index-1 instead of 1.

Thank you so much.

I can't quite envision what you want.
Please send me the following:
1. A copy of your TOC, (as it currently exists
2. A copy of how you want your TOC to look
3. 2 or 3 files (so I can generate your TOC after I experiment with the settings.)

My email is
waynejohnson2@comcast.net

Be sure to put Framemaker in the subject line.
And sending as Frame 7.1 is great.

thanks, Wayne

Expertise

Basic set-up of books, master pages, generation of List of Effective pages (LEP), Indexing, auto-numbering. Various ways to import graphics, including advantages and disadvantages of importing into a text frame or importing into a "blank" page. Using a "book" to generate PDF files, with hyperlinking. Customization of function keys, currently setup for Frame 7.0 i.e. change F1 to turn "Change bar" On and Off, F2 to "Cut" a selection, F3 to copy, F4 to Paste, F6 to set line to "TOP OF PAGE" and Shift F6 to start line "anywhere" these can be easily your current config files and if you do not like them - old config files can be restored. I have no expertise in Structured Framemaker, (i.e. XML or SGML).
