Trying to update a mini TOC

I'm trying to follow the process you describe for formatting a miniTOC in this post:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/framemaker-discussions/formatting-mini-table-of-content/td-p/10869326

 

I need to add right-aligned leaders between Heading 2 and the page number. However, after editing the Tab stop as you demonstrated, it doesn't appear that clicking Update Style is doing anything. The leaders do not appear on the Reference page between <$paratext> and <$pagenum>. What am I doing wrong?

    IMHO you anchor the MiniTOC at the beginning of the line "Usisng this Manual"

    • delete the minitoc
    • add an empty paragraph where you want to place it
    • Insert thr minitoc at the beginning of this paragraph

    Thank you for earlier response. That seems to have worked except for the following issue. The mini TOC is displaying correctly but I am not able to follow it with the next text. --It goes to the next page. When I select for that text to Keep with Previous Paragraph, it pulls the last entry from the mini TOC to the following page.  Possibly related: earlier when I was trying to get the miniTOC to format correctly it was displaying but listed the pagenumber as page 2 when it should have been page 1.

    You will need to update the style after setting the tab stops, but the reference page won't update until you update the mini-toc.

    • Right click the Mini-TOC text > Update Mini-TOC.
    • Or update your book with Update Mini-TOC enabled.
