I have a book file (.indb) composed of well over 80 chapters (individual .indd files). As of now I have a Title/Copyright page as the first document in the collection, followed by a TOC document after which there’s front matter documents and then the rest of the chapters. As with any book, I am trying to avoid showing any reference to the title/copyright document in my TOC so it shows entries starting with Preface. The page numbering is perfectly as it should in the Book panel which shows Preface to start at page vii. However, the same document as referenced in the TOC shows to start at page v! That’s a difference of exactly 2 pages which is what I added above TOC in the form of that title/copyright document. I suspect this document has something to do with the messed up page numbering but I can’t seem to figure out why. Here’s a look at what I’m talking about: (https://i.imgur.com/om8OA9x.png)
What am I doing wrong? Or is this also another one of Indesign’s annoying bug that was never looked into?
