Table of contents style forced line break still appears after saving toc-style

Question

[Pardon my English, I'm Dutch]Following up my previous post about toc-styles around here.For our annual titles we make toc's for each chapter. This book-file will get about 70+ InDesign-documents, so we want to have as less work as possible. Now I want to save my toc-style with the function "Remove Forced Line Break" checked true. When I upload the template idml to our server and try to test an xml with this template, the checked box is empty again. It's like I didn't save the toc-style (which I did do...). Any idea how it'll stay checked when uploaded to the server?

First, feel free to post in your native language if you can express yourself better that way. The translation feature here is very good (at least, with the narrow vocabulary we use in these discussions).

The only thing I can think of offhand is that it's essential to save the TOC "styles" — they are really complete schemas or models — under a unique name. I am not sure saving changes to the [default] style will be preserved, espeically after export to IDML and back to INDD, which is supposed to clean up and rewrite things like defaults.

Also, TOC changes are not preserved in between TOC generation. If you set a TOC style, make a change to it, and create or update a TOC, your change will not be preserved when you attempt to repeat the process. You MUST save the changes before generating or updating a TOC.

Try that — save the TOC under a unique name, and make sure it's saved after each and every change.
