I have a document with double digit chapters, head1s, head2s and head3s. This creates a long topic numeric id in the TOC, which overwrites the start of the topic header string. Is there any way to control this, or is the processor supposed to figure out how much space is needed? I really *do* want to keep my head3 topics in the TOC. -Al

I made some adjustments for this situation in the Nov 11 baselevel
of the bookbuilding tools. If you are running that baselevel and
are still having these problems, please send me a file that produces
this problem and I'll revisit it.
Thanks,
Mary

The next baselevel of the bookbuilding tools will contain yet another
attempt (:-) at fixing table of contents formatting. It's a difficult
problem because of the large fonts and narrow line width. But, using
the file Al supplied in a previous reply to this note, I have fiddled
with the formatting parameters and can generate a TOC for those
entries that have no overwriting.
We have also seen problems with TOC entries in which the text in
the entry fits on one line but the hotspot box around it is 2
lines long, creating blank spaces in the TOC and the impression
that something is missing (nothing is but it looks that way).
This problem is also fixed in the next baselevel.
Mary
