Re: Wishlist 2008

Hi,

I've got a few mostly cosmetic suggestions:

The ability to delete/save a Find List directly the move box.

The name of the Open Find List, or untitled if new, should be displayed in the find dialog especially after loading a saved find set.

Table Of Contents Questions

Hi, I have a file without a lot of in-line text to use to generate Auto-titles and hence, a TOC. So I tried making a separate file containing only the text that I want in the TOC of the primary document. I realize I would have to mimic the page count etc to get the page numbers right. I figure I can...

Re: Newbie help needed with Auto-Titles

The book I am building is something like a dictionary. It is reference content. It is not a heading/paragraph type of text so it really d...

Re: Newbie help needed with Auto-Titles

Hmmm, I was just thinking... without Auto-Titles and mentions being pulled from the text of the page into the header, is there a way I can automatically build a Table of Contents from the header contents? If not, I guess I can create a page style for a TOC and drop the headers and page numbers in ma...

Re: Newbie help needed with Auto-Titles

Thank you Patrick.

It looks like I added some unneeded complexity.

I will drop the table in the header and go with page styles and changing static headers as that seems to best suit my need.

Thanks again for placing me on the correct path...
