    Hi @nikitags02:

     

    Do you mean the formatting, or the content? Character styles applied within the body of the document (for example, to the paragraph that says Planugsdaten on page 3) will carry into a generated TOC. Remove the character styles from the heading on page 3 if you don't want them in the TOC, and then update your book.

    Hi,

    Is this a book table of contents? Is this file generatable? Or are these TOC entries only cross-references?

    How should I see that chapter 3 had not been updated?

    What are the paragraph formats of the various paragraphs?

    If this would be a regular generatable TOC, any entries of paragraphs, which do not exist any longer, would be deleted.

    Best regards, Winfried

    What version of FM? Structured or Unstructured? This appears to be a Table of Contents, not an Index - is it a "true" generated TOC or something you've put together manually? Was it working before or is this the first time you've seen it misbehave?
