Table of Contents

[sfkhooper]

I'm trying to add a table of contents to a document template. When i insert one in design view the text "Table of Contents" is added to the page. I don't see any way of modifying the layout at all. When I generate a document based on the template I just get one line where the TOC should be that looks like ..................................................1. Can anybody give me some advice for making a TOC?

Also, I'd like to incorporate a document history list, distribution list, etc. at the start of the doc and have these in the TOC. Any htoughts on how to go about setting these up?

The TOC shows as "chapters" the text formatted as "Heading X".

To modify the TOC or Heading styles, you should use the "Edit | Edit Styles" menu and edit the TOC1, TOC2... styles.

Examine one of the provided templates (Basic template...) to see how it works.

The way I do it, is not to use EA RTF templates for this at all!

I create one or more RTF templates to extract the information I need into respective RTF documents.

I then create a Word Document using Word's Table for for my Document history and also Word's own TOC, both of which have far more formatting power than the RTF editor.

I then LINK the RTF documents into appropriate sections of the Word document, the styles in the RTF align with the same style names in Word. (RTF Heading2 becomes Word's Heading2 etc)

When the model changes, regenerate the RTFs and the update the links in the Word document.

Not a perfect solution, but it works for me.

I also use Model Documents and Resource Documents to organise the documentation production.
