How do I get the section number and page number in the table of contents to be a hyperlink in the pdf?

In my table of contents in the book pdf generated in Framemaker 12 the chapter names in the content column work as hyperlinks, but not the section numbers and page numbers. They do work in heading 4 and 5, but not in heading 1, 2 and 3. My table of contents consists of a content column, section column and page number column. Only the content column is a hyperlink and I would like also the section numbers and page numbers to work as links.

Regards,

Robert

It sounds like you may have a formatting change between the text of your content and the section/page numbers in your first three heading formats. FM uses the formatting boundaries to delimit the hypertext zone.

The reference page is 11 pages. Screenshot:

Hi Robert—that's the IX reference page. I'm looking for the TOC reference page. The names are on the status bar (bottom middle of your screen), just to the right of the page numbers.

Hm, I don't think I have a TOC reference page, but I do have List of Tables and List of  Figures reference pages. I did generate TOC as in the manual.

By "column" do you mean you are using a sidehead column, or using tabs?

Can you show a screen shot of the TOC reference page?
