I can go to Document Setup, but there is no "Document Item" icon. Closest I can get is "Document," and it doesn't have an Add button. However, I can go to Table of Contents and Indexes, and there I find an Add button. It works and I can add an item, but the drop-down button for Item Attribute Name does not do anything. It does not drop down or give me a dialog box to type a name in. > then go to Table of Content and indexes and then TOC should appear in > your drop down box The TOC doesn't appear there because I can't add it in the previous dialog box. I suspect there were changes from 1.3.3.x to 1.3.5svn that makes things different. Or there is a bug and that drop-down button for Item Attribute Name is supposed to work but doesn't.
