A seriously senior moment here or it's just Friday and my brain has already shut-off.
I am setting up the templates (Cover, TOC, LOF, LOT, Chapter, Appendix, and Index) to use for our departmental end-user guides. Setting up the templates for the TOC, LOF, and LOT are a snap; the index, however, is giving me fits and although I remember I did this once before, I can't for the life of me remember how. I have a three column index with three master pages - First, Right, and Left. Obviously, the First master page must be applied to the first page of the index and I want the title "Index" to appear on this page. Right now, my solution is to place the autonumbered paragraph tag IndexHead in the header on the first master page. The autonumbering is set to "Index" and I have it formatted the way that I want it with font, bold, underline, etc. but the rub is when I generate my TOC, I say to include the IndexHead and on the reference page for the TOC, in the formatting of this TOC entry, I make sure to use <$paranum>; however, because this IndexHead tag is used on the master page, it's not being picked up automatically in the TOC; I would have to manually add this to the TOC, which defeats the whole purpose of the TOC. I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get the paragraph tag on the first BODY page of the index without screwing up the formatting of the index. Even if I use two separate text boxes with the same flow (A) and connect the flow of the text box (a single column text box above the three columns) that is to hold the title Index to the text flow that is to hold the index entries (the three columns), the index obviously is not formatted correctly. I get the first index entry starting in the text box overlapping with the Indexhead paragraph tag. For the TOC, etc. this isn't an issue, because they all are a single column file, so after generation the first time, I simply put in a hard return above the first line of the file and add the autonumbered tags of TOCTitle, LOFTitle, and so on and I am good to go. I know I am doing something wrong, but I can't figure out for the life of my what I am doing wrong. Is it the order that I connect the frames in the Index or? Thanks in advance, TVB Tammy L.
