adding user variables to the TOC

[Paul Findon]

Hi Deidre,

The TOC collects paragraphs by style, so you can include user  
variables in a TOC by applying the appropriate paragraph tag.  
However, in my quick test, FrameMaker doesn't collect paras on master  
pages.

Someone on this may be able to suggest a workaround to help you  
achieve what you're after.
