| Which version of the online tools are you using? This *is* a doctype
problem and I made some modifications to the TOC formatting to
accommodate large chapter/section numbers: in the Aug 2 baselevel,
there should be more than enough space for 10.10...
If you are using this baselevel, please send me a pointer to your
.DECW$BOOK file so I can take a look at your output. There is not
really a quick fix for this problem (yes, it's a bug); the design
file has to be changed.

185.2 | March baselevel? | BOOKIE::FARINA | | Tue Aug 15 1989 14:35 | 9 |
| Thanks for the quick response, Mary.
I'm not positive, since I'm the editor not the writer. The writer
is on vacation and no log file was kept, but one of the other writers
here think it's a March baselevel. Does that mean that I shouldn't
worry about it, since the customers receiving this won't see what
I'm seeing?

| The online bookbuilding tools are for building the books, not viewing
them, so they'll need to be done over...WYSISTS...what you see is what
they see.

185.4 | So it's "Tough luck, Charlie"? | BOOKIE::FARINA | | Tue Aug 15 1989 15:08 | 6 |
| So, the customers will see this, regardless of any changes made?
Overwriting, over which writers have no control, will occur when
customers read the books. It is a known bug for which there is
currently no fix, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Mary's
fix to the design is for the benefit of writers here only. Is
this correct? This is what I understand from .1 and .3, together.

| The problem was reported earlier this year and I worked on the TOC
design parameters to fix it. The fix was issued in a later baselevel
(I'm not sure which one, but after March). If you upgrade to the
current level of the tools and rebuild the book, your TOC entries
will be OK. (I did a test this morning with a header level 10.10
and it looked fine.) So, no, it is not a known bug for which there
is no fix; it's a known bug which has been fixed and the fix has
been available for at least 2 baselevels of the online tools.

| No, no.
Just need to reprocess unsing the current, latest tools (assuming that
the problem *is* that latest tools weren't used -- see Mary's question).

185.8 | I understand now! | BOOKIE::FARINA | | Thu Aug 17 1989 12:12 | 4 |
| Sometimes things just don't sink in - and I was having one of those
days when I read your earlier replies! However, now I fully understand
what you are telling me, and will see to it that books are run on
the August 2 baselevel. Thank you both for all your help. --Susan
