Valerie, I have used lots of structured TOCs before, so I'd like to try to help. However, I'm having a little trouble understanding your question, because based on your description, your outcome seems correct to me. You said you ended up with this:
<Heading /Level/TOC> <hypertext> the link to the source in the .fm document </hypertext> .....the text of the Heading in the .fm document </Heading /Level/TOC> Isn't that what you want? This should produce an operational TOC entry and looks like what I have produced in the past when using structured TOCs.

The documents have been structured. However, I want to structure the TOC and Index as well. I have created a Conversion Table and an EDD to impose structure on the generated TOC. As I was experimenting with this type of EDD on a generated file, I saw in the Structure View that FM imposes a <hypertext> element in the TOC that captured the .fm link to the Heading in the document that was added to the TOC design. However, the text of the Heading appears outside the structure; i.e., the pointer to the Heading and the Heading text are separated in the structure, and FM created the marker to the pointer, although the marker was absent in the EDD. I understood that because no <hypertext> marker was in the EDD, the <hypertext> pointer ID in file.fm </hypertext> was not recognized when I imposed the EDD on the document. So, I added a marker in the EDD called <hypertext>. When I reimposed the EDD on the generated TOC, the content appears as follows: <Heading /Level/TOC> <hypertext> the link to the source in the .fm document </hypertext> .....the text of the Heading in the .fm document </Heading /Level/TOC> What should the EDD look like to capture the Heading and the pointer?
