Reply To: Index (Table on Contents) based on item #s,not pages

I was hoping someone else would come up with some brite idea. … Both Index and Table of Contents are firmly based on the concept of “page numbers”, and you can't really blame Adobe for this ;-)

Did you try the Table of Contents Advanced options? It is possible to sort entries alphabetically, and it's also possible to not insert page numbers. However, that leaves the issue of your hymn numbers — best would be if you could insert a flush right tab right away. You do need them on the right of your titles (so you can insert flush tabs manually), and that might need some trickery in setting up your styles, etc., etc.

TOC trickery is not really my fortay …
