      I have a very long (500+) page indd doc with 30-some chapters. Within each chapter, certain key elements are themselves indesign documents – usually custom-sized bits that carry standardized boilerplate. Often these have a title, with a unique paragraph style applied to the title. However, when I create a TOC that includes that papa style, it does not pick it up from the linked indd file. If that style appears in a chapter, no problem. But in a linked file? No.

      Is there a fix for this, other that pulling the title out of the linked file?

      Thanks!

      No, InDesign cannot see text inside placed INDD files. It treats placed INDD files more or less as though they were PDF graphics.
