TOC text styles - all suddenly adding underline

[Dennison]

When Refreshing the TOC, suddenly all three styles have been underlined.

If one style had changed I might accept that I'd inadvertently made a style change - but all three?

 

This is not the first time TOC style attributes seem to have suddenly changed.

 

Anyone else noticing this?

I've never experienced that, nor have I seen mention of it, @Dennison.

Please be sure to make a copy of the .afpub file before trying to fix it, as Serif may want to examine it.

If you look at the TOC text styles, do you see what has caused the underlining? My first guess would be a paragraph decoration. As all 3 text styles changed, it may be that something happened to a parent style that affected all its children.

Thanks Walt,

 

I'll be sure to keep a file (I rename the file every day as a matter of work habit). 

I'll follow up on your suggestions.

No Paragraph Decorations

Two of the styles are grouped - the third is not, so not sure how all three were changed.

 

But I've now manually changed the Underline setting for all three Test Styles.  Let's see if something jumps again.

Thanks

I regularly fight with styles with TOCs. Something about them seems different from the regular styles behavior, but I can't quite place it. One of the things I have observed is that sometimes a change to TOC style that I make won't take effect until I refresh the TOC.

Anyway, I think some of the problem may happen because the TOC picks up any formatting from the text immediately preceding the TOC, unless you have explicitly overridden it with styles.

Good morning,

Yes, I've observed the same in terms of changing sometimes taking effect only after an update.

I use specific Text Styles for the TOC, though based on styles used in the book.

What I want to do is make a dummy ToC and define my styles for it. Then I want to be able to use those styles for the actual generated ToC's styles. Maybe just by choosing Based On in each of the Styles generated for the ToC.
