I have a book that was made by another company. The files are a mess, but I have tried to clean it up as best as I can. I set up the TOC which looks like it works, but doesn’t. What is happening is most of the headings are coming in but a select few are not. What is weird is the style in question brings in most of the heads but no all. Anyone have any ideas?

Tried that… tried deleting the page and adding it back, tried using a different style, tried export to idml file… the problem stems from the text being in a table that spans pages. Why this is happening I have no idea. I tried remaking the table and that didn’t work either. The only thing that works is to duplicate the table (split table up) and have it not span pages. The weird thing is it doesn’t always do it. I never would have put the titles in the table but I didn’t make the document.

I’ve had similar problems with the TOC failing to pick up styles on items in a table. However, this was an enormous table (spanning many pages) that had to be split in two because it would otherwise be above the 10000-row limit.
But it was only the items in the 2nd table that failed to appear in the TOC – all the items that should have appeared in the TOC were in one or other of the tables (none outside tables), and only the items in the 1st table appeared in the TOC.
I never did solve it, and my workaround was to open two windows, and loop through, repeatedly finding the style in one window, then manually updating the 2nd half of the TOC in the other window.
