Incomplete TOC in Word output

I am working on making a small intro piece of the RH8.01 project to serve as a customer onboarding tool.

First rev I left the default TOC inplace but selected only those 12 tpoics I want to use. (FYI, I am building some small Cap4 sims to be inserted in the .pdf when this process works correctly.)  The result worked except that only the Glassary and Index pages were in the TOC.

2nd rev I built one TOC book called "Intro: and then addeed my topics to it. The result was the same with only the Glassary and Index pages in the

TOC.

I could use the full TOC and simply remove the folders and topics I don't need, but that seems rather inefficient.

Any direction or thoughts folks?

Correct answer Peter Grainge

To be honest I am not really following what the problem is. Is it that no matter what you do with the TOC, the printed document only contains the glossary and index? If so I think the missing link is that the TOC that exists when you first define the print layout is the default at that time. If you change the TOC contents, it does not change what is in the print layout, for good reason. Not everyone wants them to be the same.

Take a look at Printed Documentation on my site. Maybe that will cover the problem.

Thanks Peter, you were correct. I apparently had the wrong TOC as default when I built the new layout. Good catch!
