I have written a ToC generator in the past week for 1.3. Theres no ToC style options yet but it does work. Styles of ToC are next on the agenda along with various other bits around the edges. It does not work off paragraph styles however, but the new frame Item Attributes. It does not yet handle sub frame ToC entries but will in the future. Create a text frame as the destination of the ToC. File->Document Setup, then find Document Item Attributes Then add one in, eg: Name = MyToC Value = My ToC Entry Auto Add To = Text Frames Then go into the Tables of Contents and Indexes area, Add a new Table of Contents. Select the Item Attribute to use for the ToC, choose the options listed, MyToC will be there. Then choose the destination frame that you previously made. Then when you create text frames, go to Item->Attributes or right click menu->Attributes. Then edit the Value to be appropriate for that frame, eg My ToC Entry 1, ie the text to appear in the ToC. Repeat this process for the frames you have. Then, Extras->Generate Tables of Contents. You will get some test info in the frame but you will get a list of your entries as described. Until I get it finished you will have to edit this manually to make it look how you want though. Changes daily, so try it out now and then. > 2. Do template/master pages support automatic page numbering? Yes, Control # will get you the # symbol which when applied to a page will be the page number. Press twice for 2 digit page numbers. You may need to reprogram the shortcut key depending on your keyboard layout. > 3.

You can use auto text frames when the doc is created which will create and link frames when you make new pages, or manually make your frames and link them. Importing the text into one of them will flow the text over the whole range of the linked frames. Craig -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
