Thanks everyone! The document is an Aircraft Maintenance Manual (does anyone else on this list write an AMM?)
Let's say we have a Class Divider, an Overhead Bin, and a Lavatory that all need a description chapter, an installation chapter, and a repair chapter. So our TOC will be Class Divider Description Class Divider Installation Class Divider Repair Overhead Bin Description Overhead Bin Installation Overhead Bin Repair Lavatory Description Lavatory Installation Lavatory Repair What we want the TOC to look like is this: 25-23-01 Class Divider Description 25-23-01 Class Divider Installation 25-23-01 Class Divider Repair 25-51-01 Overhead Bin Description 25-51-01 Overhead Bin Installation 25-51-01 Overhead Bin Repair 25-41-01 Lavatory Description 25-41-01 Lavatory Installation 25-41-01 Lavatory Repair But we don't want the actual Chapter Title to have the XX-XX-XX in it. You can see that the number changes among the components, but doesn't change within each component's related chapters. It's looking more and more like I'll have to put the XX-XX-XX within the chapter and change the text to white. Thanks all!
