Question

I am working on my first book in FrameMaker and I am looking to customize my TOC a little bit. I figured out how to add in the dotted line between section name and page number but now I am hoping to create seperators between chapters (Modules for labeling purposes) so that as items appear in the TOC they Appear in this format:

Module 1 "Title of Module"....................1-3
Section 1.1 "Title of Section" .................1-5
SubSection 1.1.1 "Title of Subsection"...1-6
Module 2 "Title of Module"....................2-20
Section 2.1 "Title of Section"..................2-21
SubSection 2.1.1 "Title of SubSection"..2-24

 

This would continue through all Chapters/Modules of the book.

Assuming what you mean is that you want to add the heading numbering to the TOC, you need to change the layout on the TOC reference page (View > Reference Page, then find the one that says the Flow is TOC) from this:

to this:

You just type the "<$paranum>: " in and save. You get back to your text view by clicking View > Body

I tried that and instead of updating the TOC it adds in the "updated" info above what is already there that I made changes to attempting to get the desired laout 1.0 "Tilte of Chapter".... 1 as descibed above. 

The other thing I noticed that conflicts research I have done is that this Table is not labled on the reference pages to suggest that it has anything to do with the TOC and I am not sure if that is why I am having issues.
