Thanks ever so much, Steve. I have lots of miles to go before I'm ready to
do the Table of Contents so thought I'd get answers early. I appreciate
your offer of help and I may be a-calling. <g< I esp. appreciate the info
on how the different headings are treated.
Fortunately, this book's Table of Contents is simple so it'll be a nice
document to learn with.

Hi Deb,
What finally ends up in the table of contents is determined by the use of
the heading styles H1, H2, and H3. H1 produces an entry which starts at
the left margin, while H2 produces an entry indented 2 spaces from the left
margin. H3 indents the entry two more spaces than H2. So the bottom line
is that you need to enclose your major headings in an H1 style if you want
to see them in the contents.
To actually generate the table of contents, you need to translate the
document into braille (unless you're starting with a braille
document). The table of contents generator is not available in a print
document. Once the document is ready, you need to place the cursor in the
exact spot where you want to put the table of contents. Then, go to the
Layout menu and select the option for generating the table of
contents. This opens a dialog box with the cursor on the OK
button. Pressing Enter at this point will generate a table of contents
according to BANA rules, which means, among other things, that print page
numbers will be used. If you don't have print page numbers in your
document (and most likely you won't), you'll get no page numbers at
all. To correct this, tab past the Cancel button to the drop-down list of
options for generating a table of contents and choose "Customize." Fill in
the required information, and tab to OK or press Enter. Your document will
now have a table of contents.
You may have a few other things to play around with, especially if you
didn't put your cursor in exactly the right place. Let me know if you run
into any problems, and I'll help you. Good luck.
Steve
