Check what master page is applied to page 2 (Format > Page Layout > Master Page Usage). Make sure it's Right/Left, not some Custom page (and make sure the doc is set up as two-sided). > Item 2: > > Formatting TOC Styles: > > My consultant started setting this up but the styles wouldn't configure > correctly.

That, plus the rather large number of ref pages, makes me suspect you've got more than one TOC spec. BTW, if your consultant couldn't straighten out this mess and get your TOC looking right in a couple of hours, you need a better consultant. > > <$paratext> <$pagenum> > <$paratext> <$pagenum> > <$paratext> <$pagenum> > <$PARATEXT> <$PAGENUM> > <$PARATEXT> <$PAGENUM> > openXmlElementId > <$relfilename>:<$UniqueXmlElementId> > <$RelativeXmlElementId> > openObjectId <$relfilename>:<$ObjectType> <$ObjectId> > <$paratext> <$pagenum> > <$PARATEXT> <$PAGENUM> > CHAPTER 1: <$PARATEXT>..........................................<$PAGENUM> > <$PARANUM> <$PARATEXT>.......................................<$PAGENUM> > <$paranum> <$paratext>..................................<$pagenum> > <$paranum> <$paratext>............................<$pagenum> > <$CHAPNUM>: <$PARATEXT>.........................................<$PAGENUM> > <$PARANUM> <$PARATEXT>.......................................<$PAGENUM> > <$paranum> <$paratext>..................................<$pagenum> > <$paranum> <$paratext>............................<$pagenum> > > Note: There is a tab between "<$PARANUM> <$PARATEXT>". Ack! This is an unholy mess. The line beginning with "openObjectId" is the ActiveTOC paragraph and should be the first thing in the TOC spec flow. The paragraphs above that indicate that you've set up the TOC to include pgfs from the docs in the book for which there was no corresponding *TOC pgf in the TOC spec. Put the cursor in one of these lines and see what pgf format it is. They all end in "TOC" and the preceding part is the name of the pgf format for which it's used. For instance, the Head3TOC pgf is used for the TOC entries that point to Head3 pgfs in your book. Since you have so many *TOC pgfs, I suspect some or all of the formatted ones below the "openObjectId" line aren't being used. Maybe the heading format names have changed since the TOC spec was set up. > These last 8 lines should translate to the following, but they don't: > > CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION..........................................1-1 > 1.1 Second Chapter Level......................................1-1 > 1.1.1 Third Chapter Level................................1-2 > 1.1.1.1 Fourth Chapter Level.......................1-3 > Appendix A: Safety...............................................A-1 > A.1 Second Appendix Level.....................................A-4 > A.1.1 Third Appendix Level...............................A-5 > A.1.1.1 Fourth Appendix Level......................A-5 > > The closest I come is the first line, but it isn't picking up the fact that > the page number should be "1-1", instead it just says "1". None of the rest Because the TOC spec specifies only <$pagenum> instead of <$chapnum>-<$pagenum>. Since none of the TOC spec entries specify <$chapnum>, it seems that this TOC spec was set up for continuous page numbering, not folio (chapter-page) numbering. > of the lines even recognize the tabs, let alone the "tab with leader" > before the page number, although the page numbers are there as are the > indentations at the beginning of the relevant lines. Because you haven't defined the *TOC pgf formats to have the correct tabs and leaders. The pgfs at the bottom of the TOC spec seem to have the tab and leader properly defined, which tends to confirm my earlier suspicion that those formats aren't being used and the TOC spec wasn't set up for the heading formats you're currently using. The problems you're having touch on several key areas that one needs to understand to work effectively with FM -- pgf formatting, master page layout and usage, document numbering settings, generated lists. I strongly suggest that you get some training, work through the "Classroom in a Book" or other tutorials, and/or spend a lot of quality time with the user manual. HTH! Richard Richard G.
