TOCs at beginning of each chapter

We use separate TOC files as well (Frank's "second method" below), but we use an AutoIT script to update it - no manual steps after the initial set-up.

-> 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
