Good Morning,
Since there are two ways to make a TOC:
a. Add TOC
b. Special TOC for document
Our component manuals have a cover, toc, body, and back cover.
Our product manuals are set up by section, and have the toc, and body. Of course a cover and back cover.
So my question is what is the difference in using one or the other toc:? We also have to have bookmarks and links in the toc?
Just thought I would get the real reason behind which one is used for what.
Thanks,
LS

Yes, that is what I don't like about it, though if you have a book with sections and section toc's, I guess there isn't a choice unless a mini toc can be produced.
I was just wondering if there was any other reason behind the two.
Thanks!
