TOC update generates additional TOC reference page

Report · Mar 05, 2009

Hello,

I'm working on documents with embedded table of contents (as a text insert in the document itself). To update the embedded TOC, I choose Special > Table of contents, save and close the TOC file, and then update the text insert. Normally this works without problem.

However, for one document, with each TOC update an additional "TOC" reference page is generated in the TOC file, and therefore all adjustments (such as paragraph numbering) are lost.

Every time I recreate my formats on the reference page, i.e. add nothing but <$paranum> to the respective entries, the next TOC update creates an additional reference page named TOC with standard entries.

I've already deleted the TOC and generated a new file, but I'm having the same problem again each time I update a TOC

Any suggestions what might be wrong?

I'm using FM 8.0p277 on Windows XP.

Thanks a lot in advance.
Johannes

Just found the solution by myself. There were unavailable fonts in the TOC file, which I presume prevented the file from being updated correctly. After saving the TOC file without them the problem disappeared.

Thanks for posting the second part of the story - makes the forum a useful source of information.

Did you not get an error message about "generated files not updated" when the ToC had unavailable fonts?
