File name order for TOC

Post by jkpalmer »

Hi,

I have a question about file creation from a single word document.

My word documents contain H1, H2, and H3 styles which I want to use to cause Flare to generate a "new topic" for each H1, H2, or H3 detected.

When Flare imports my word document, it uses the name of the topic for the file name, which is great, but when creating the master TOC, I would like to create the TOC in a similar order as the original document order.

Changing the order of the topics for the TOC is pretty labor intensive. Looking for an easier way. Is this possible?

Does your original Word document have its own TOC to start with?
There are 2 cases when importing Word:
  • If the Word document has a TOC then that will be imported as a TOC file into Flare, including the different levels for H1, H2, etc.
  • But if the Word document has no internal TOC then Flare will generate one with all topics at the same level.

I set up a sample word document with H1, H2, and H3 as well as a Word TOC and imported the document using several different import settings.

I can not seem to get the results that you indicated.

Appreciate your time.

Thanks.
