RE: TOC with embedded LOF & LOT

[ADAM MORGAN <adam.morgan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,

That works, but as we produce pdf files it would require each one to be edited to remove those last few pages.  Not a big thing, but all of our users don't have Acrobat.  Frame 7.0 come with Distiller 5.0, so my goal is to reduce the reliance on Acrobat.  We are using Roman numerals for the front
matter so the dual book method works.  

I was wishing that a standalone TOC could be produced for the book.  This can be done with a single file, so I thought possibly I was missing something in the FrameMaker manual.  I guess Dov can add it to the user's wish list.

I appreciate the feedback.

Adam

There is an alternative to using Roman page numerals. You can put the LOF
and LOT at the end of the book. This way you can use regular page numbering
at the beginning of the book if you like.

I don't think there's any way to automate it. I've done what you're trying
to accomplish in small books by generating the TOC, LOF & LOT, then cut and
paste the contents of the LOF & LOT into the TOC. Then delete LOF & LOT from
the book file, which does not delete them from your directory. If you make
changes to book, just add LOF & LOT back into the book, regenerate and
repeat the process.

And this works only if you use roman numeral page numbers on the generated
files, and begin Ch 1 with arabic page 1.

Hello,

How do you generate a list of figures and a list of tables, which can be
embedded into the TOC but are not included in the book?  Sometimes a book
may contain a list of 4 figures and 5 tables.  When a LOF and a LOT file is
generated these are separate files in the book.  If I want to import these
into a TOC so that I do not have a page by itself with just 4 figures
listed, I currently use two book files.

Book 1
Front Matter
TOC
LOF
LOT
Chapter files

Book 2
Front Matter
TOC (with imported LOF and LOT)
Chapter files

I generate Book 1 first, then Book 2.  Book 2 is then used to generate a pdf
file.

This method works, but I feel that a better solution is may exist.

Thanks,

Adam
