Table of Contents - Numbers don't show up in the table

Question

Hello,

I am running into an issue creating my table of contents. When I create my TOC, I include all the paragraph styles that need to be included in the table. However, when it is done being created, none of the paragraph numbering transfers its way to the table. What I mean is that it just includes the titles like "Packaging & Shipping" instead of " 1.8 Packaging & Shipping". My reference pages are also not working properly because messing around with them has changed nothing about my TOC. Is there anything I can do to fix the TOC without having to manually input all of the paragraph numbers? Thank you!!

Hi @Kamelia38949005c3z7:

As a default, FrameMaker calls in the paragraph text <$paratext> and the page numbers <$pagenum> via building blocks on the reference pages. You can add the paragraph number building block <$paranum> in front of the paragraph text on the TOC reference page. For details, see https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-framemaker-including-chapter-numbers-in-a-table-of-contents/
