include contents as part of text flow

Hi Summayah5FC7,

there is a script written by Timothy Ariel Walden to break the text flow.

That script is pre-installed with your InDesign 2022.

Open the Scripts panel.

In the Scripts panel open the Community folder.

Select the frame you want to break.

Double click on BreakTextThread.jsx

This dialog will come up:

Important:

If you ever create a TOC with InDesign's TOC functions, never thread the TOC's text frame to the main thread of your text or to a different story.

Why? If you update the TOC InDesign will:

[1] Remove all text that is in the TOC's story

[2] Updates the TOC's contents

Result: An empty frame,

if all the TOC's contents is assembled from paragraphs of your main story that now is empty per step 1 in this 2-step process.
