Tina,
You say "On the reference page, I inserted the tab, and the <$pagenum>
text."
Did you also hit the Tab character on the keyboard in the spot where the
tab is set?

Hi there-
I'm wrestling with an index and reference pages. Maybe someone can help.
I'm
in FM8.
This is an author index in a large book of professional papers for a
conference. (Some authors wrote multiple papers, some papers have
multiple
authors). I want the index to look like this:
A
Abner, Joseph
Paper Title ..................page num
Adams, John Quincy
First paper title.................page num
Second paper title...............page num
B
(etc. etc.)
My markers are the "Author" type. A typical marker looks like this
(inside
the marker dialog box):
Abner, Joseph:Paper Title
So. I want page numbers with dot leaders for the second level in this
index
only, not the first level.
On the reference pages, I've modified the Level2IOM style to add a right
tab
with dot leaders. On the reference page, I inserted the tab, and the
<$pagenum> text.
My reference page looks like this:
--------------------------
1, 2-3
Level2IOM...............................................................
....
.......................................... <$pagenum>
Symbols[\
];Numerics[0];A;B;C;D;E;F;G;H;I;J;K;L;M;N;O;P;Q;R;S;T;U;V;W;X;Y;Z
<$symbols><$numerics><$alphabetics>
-_--
Level1IOM
openObjectId <$relfilename>:<$ObjectType> <$ObjectId>
<$pagenum>
--------------------------
I re-generate the book. No dice. Nothing I've managed, short of typing
in
the tab character where I want it (after every Level 2 entry, before the
page number) will make these dot leaders show up. I've deleted the whole
Index of Markers and started over again (figuring I messed something up
irreparably), no dice. No dot leaders.
I would love any advice to make dot leaders behave themselves.
