Table of Contents has page number next to main chapter heading

That is the correct line. Change it to match my screenshot from Feb 01, 2021. Update your book.

Hi John:

Open the TOC reference page—click on line 10, counting every line from the top. Confirm that this line is using the style "AT,AnnexTitleTOC". Add the word (Informative), as per my screen shot. Update the book.

Sorry about that, John. I used a tight crop to protect your content, but there's no secure content on a reference page!

This should help:

Hi John:

I belive the Ts are hypertext markers that are being carried over from the source docs. I would need to examine the old working document to be sure.

That said, if this is the look you are after:

Then editing AT,AnnexTitleTOC definition on the reference page to look like this should do ti.

Hey John:

Ok, the tabs are all in place on the TOC (which is good), so I believe it is an issue of the tab stops on the body page. Can you grab one more screen shot for us?

Here's the setup:

• Click in 1.   Overview1 on body page 1. 
• Enable View > Text Symbols and View > Rulers. Be sure to include the rulers at the top in the screen shot.

If you are willing to share the TOC with us, I am happy to take a look at it, which will save some time. You can put it on Dropbox and post a link here (public), or click my name above this post and message me directly (private).

Hey John:

That is the IX (index) reference page. Can yuou grab a screen shot of the TOC reference page, with View > Text Symbols enabled? The answer lies there. 

And yes, I do offer online FrameMaker training—both intro and advanced classes. Here are the links for both levels. I taught an intro class earlier this week, so the next one in March.

• Introduction to Adobe FrameMaker (Unstructured)
• Advanced Adobe FrameMaker (Unstructured)

Here is a link to a post I wrote for my students, who were dealing with the same issue:

Hi John,

On the reference pages there is something like this for all TOC paragraph formats:

<$paranum> <$paratext> <$pagenum>

Before the <$pagenum> building block there must be a tab. Better two tabs so that the page number is also right-aligned, when there are two lines.

For your heading2 paragraph formats there seem to be enough tabs.

Check whether you have also tabs before heading1.

You could also search for tabs (in the search dialog \t) and replace e.g. with something like mmm. Then you can make the tabs visible. Then search for mmm and replace with \t.

On your body pages this will change after you update your book with the TOC.

It could also be that the tab stops in the paragraph format are not set correctly.

Check the tab stops there. There must be two:

One left aligned for the start of the text.

One right aligned for the page number.

It could be that the position of the right aligned tab stop is larger than the text frame width. If it is really the same as the text frame width, try to make it half a millimeter smaller than the text frame width. Or set it to the same value as for the heading2 paragraph format.

Best regards
