Mini-TOC in Adobe FrameMaker – A Life Saver!

One of my most favorite features is mini-TOC which I know I’ll be using during my daily work. I’m grateful for it.

No one has any idea about the untold hours I’ve spent in the past constructing this chapter-specific mini-TOCs.

Such mini-TOCs are a must when you have chapters in a book as long as mini-books. When you have a 100-page long chapter, for example, with 20 or 30 sections in it, to have a TOC in the beginning of the chapter is a really user-friendly feature.

But until now the only way to construct such a mini-TOC was to cross-reference each and every section heading and section page number by using a table, a user-define mini-TOC paragraph tag created just for that purpose, and generating each link one by one – a very time-consuming affair.

But in FrameMaker, you can create such mini-TOCs automatically and update and maintain them automatically as well.

Well done Adobe!
