Table of Contents -- Frontpage 2003

T

TedNewk

I have tried to use Web Components to create a Table of Contents based on Page Catagories. Unfortunately, while I like the content that is produced, I don't like how it is formatted. The comments information for each item runs together because there isn't enough space between items. I would like to do one of two things

1) Reformat the output of the web component to add extra spaces. Is there a way of doing this

2) Write a script or VBA program to produce the desired results. In which case I need to know how to access the properties information for the individual files like the Table of Contents Component did. How is that done

The page below is a sample of what I produced with the Web Component. Note how the Date runs into the Title and how the two items kind of merge together. This looks sloppy and not very user friendly to me

I think, personally, the best way to use the TOC component is to use it like
you have, then visit the page with a browser, view the source and copy all
the output of the TOC component. then go back to the page the TOC is on in
FrontPage, select the TOC, switch to "html view" and paste your copied code
ontop of it to overwrite the component.
you'll lose the "updating" feature but you'll have regular content that you
can see and edit. It's much faster to do it this way than it is to do "by
hand".
