Hi All,

I have a Simple Chapter with Mini Table-of-Content with Heading 2 & Heading 3. See image below:

How can I format Mini TOC, so my Mini TOC would look like as follows (including Text Section, Indentation, Leader Line and Page Number), just like the real TOC:

Section 3.1 XXX.....................................................Page #

Section 3.1.1 AAA........................................Page #

Section 3.1.2 BBB........................................Page #

Section 3.2 YYY.....................................................Page #

Section 3.2.1 CCC........................................Page #

Section 3.2.2 DDD........................................Page #

Section 3.3 ZZZ.....................................................Page #

Section 3.3.1 EEE........................................Page #

Section 3.3.2 FFF........................................Page #

Thank you.

Hi Aixtron:

You are very close. It looks like you forgot to include Heading2 in the Mini-TOC. Right click it and delete the Mini-TOC (because you can't edit it), then add the Mini-TOC back in through the Insert menu. Be sure that both Heading2 and Heading3 appear in the Include List on the left before you click OK.

Once both appear, head back to the Reference pages and format Heading2MTOC to look the way you want.

Separately, on your Reference page you are pressing the period key to add leader dots, which is why the page numbers are wavy, and not lined up. Erase the ......s, add a right-align tab and define the leader dot. See below. Oh, and do your really want the page number to appear twice on the line? I think you can remove the first <$pagenum> from your reference page.

You left out the <$paranum> building block before the <$paratext> block.
