Hi,
Warning - This Topic is strictly for experienced users.
Steve Dresser and I'm sure many others may be interested to know that you can
indeed do a certain degree of personalisation of Tables on Contents. Indeed
you can even add your own.
The subject is not documented, since I believe it is intended that in the
future, there will be a proper user interface to allow Custom TOC Formats to be
stored.
Basically, tocdef.txt is a plain text file stored in the duxbury programs
folder. It's structure is basically defined within that file.
Not only is it possible to modify the existing BANA and French TOC layout, but
you can copy and rename a TOC of your own.
I won't go into details at this point, since I'm sure the experts will like to
take a look first, and doubtless have a myriad of questions.
REMEMBER to SAVE a copy of this file. Remember also that if you make any
mistakes, we cannot be responsible for the outcome whatsoever.
