David,

There are two methods I have used. 

First is to use the cross-reference feature - place cross-references to the
headings you want for your TOC. Define the TOC para style to incoude a tab
with a leader for the page number. Define the cross-reference format to
include the paratext, tab, and pagenum variables. The page numbers are
updated just like any cross-reference.

The second method is more complex. Generate a chapter TOC using the Special
menu. This generates a separate file. Import the TOC file by reference into
the chapter at the point you want the TOC. Then when you need to update the
TOC, regenerate the TOC using the Special menu again. Unfortunately, this
method requires manual steps, so I prefer the first method.

Good luck,
Frank Harper
