Help! Framemaker is generating a TOC in the wrong order
Subject:Help! Framemaker is generating a TOC in the wrong order From:"Ealasaid A. Haas" <writer -at- ealasaid -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Tue, 08 Aug 2006 15:03:50 -0700
Hi, everybody!
I am a newbie tech writer having a FrameMaker problem. Nothing new here.
BUT! It has totally stumped the Frame guru AND all our books AND the two
books we just bought. So here I am.
The issue is this:
I have a good-sized book with several chapters. When I generate the
Table of Contents, it produces a bizarrely reordered mess. For a chapter
structured like this:
<ChapterTitle>Chapter Title!
<H1F.Heading1First>The First Bit
<H1.Heading1>The Second Bit
<H1.Heading1>The Third Bit
<H1.Heading1>The Fourth Bit
It generates this:
The First Bit
The Second Bit
Chapter Title!
The Third Bit
The Fourth Bit
It was assigning incorrect page numbers to things for a while but has
spontaneously stopped doing so - but I don't know why! We've been
playing around with the order of the appropriate lines on the Reference
pages, but that's about it.
Any light you folks might have to shed on the subject would be much
appreciated. It's probably something tiny and simple, but we can't find it.
Many thanks!!!
