List of... or Index of... as a text inset?

[Rene Stephenson]

Hi All,

It seems that at some point in time someone had mentioned setting up a TOC at the first of a chapter as a text inset so that it would auto-update when you generate the FM book file. (Maybe I'm dreaming...)

Well, I have come upon a situation where I could use that to track the chapter contents list as well as a quick-reference guide to the tables for various configurations in a chapter. However, I can't seem to get it to work properly.

I tried creating the "standalone" TOC for the relevant chapter using the desired subheadings, saved that file in with my other text insets and Alt-F,I,F (by reference) and it doesn't update when I update the text insets. Same problem with the chapter LOT that I set up the same way. At least the failure is consistent. :-\

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Rene L. Stephenson
