    I m really really happy 😊

     

    Output came as per our requirement... kindly tell me how to arrange this in alphabetical order...


    Hi @Nithya30375401w9kl:

     

    Framemaker supports a number of generated lists:

    • a Table of Contents (TOC) is a chronological list of paragraph styles. 
    • a List of Paragraphs (Alphabetical) (APL) is an alphabetical list of paragraph styles.

     

    The good news is that they all work generally the same way. Remove your TOC, add an APL, and make the same fix on the APL reference page.

    Hi @Nithya30375401w9kl:

     

    I just saw your video (my apologies, I missed it earlier). I do want to say that once you get your generated files set up and working correctly, the updates should just take a couple of minutes. In the meantime, we are happy to answer your questions.

    Hi @Nithya30375401w9kl:

     

    In FrameMaker, reference pages control the presentation of the generated files. You will need to add <$chapnum>– in front of the <$pagenum> building block on the TOC reference page.

    After you add the <$chapnum> building block, you have to update the book to regenerate the TOC.
