Question about flow and background text frames

[LW White]

Hi Andy,

One thing you might try is having the Glossary and Index headings be variables. While your writers could, of course, change those as they might ordinary text, it would be slightly more involved to do so and might serve as a reminder that they are not to change that information. A more involved solution would be to make those headings text insets, which is a bit of overkill but would ensure even more difficulty for writers wanting to change them.

Best,
Leigh

Subject: Question about flow and background text frames

I'm working on templates and having an issue with background text frames. What I'd like is for the Glossary and Index template files to have permanent headings, that is cannot be edited on the body pages.
 
After reading the help, it sounds like I need to put the heading in a background text frame on a First master page. But to make a background text frame, it must be untagged and unconnected, which means the heading it contains no longer shows up in my Table of Contents.
 
Does anyone know a workaround or another way to achieve this?
