Is there another solution?
FM only "remembers" one char tag for a given text string. When you apply two char tags, you're creating an override. It's as if you'd applied the first char tag's settings as ad hoc formatting. Since I never apply multiple char tags, I wasn't aware that doing so would affect a TOC entry. I suggest you create a single char tag that correctly formats the text -- bold and red, italic and small caps, or whatever. For one thing, you'll avoid those overrides and thus have a purer soul. For another, it will make things much easier when, some day in the future, you have to change all instances of that word (a product name, maybe?) to, say, small caps and cerulean blue. :-) Richard G.
