Sorry, it took me some time before I could get back to figure this out. In the document (manuscript of a book) that I am working, ALT_TITLE now works in most cases. However, ALT_TITLE does not work for headlines in Appendices, which come after \begin{appendices} Just as a reminder (since these emails are several days old), we are trying to enable ALT_TITLE in all headlines irrespective of whether they appear in TOC or not. So there is perhaps still a problem somewhere. Vikas
