Post subject:  Table Of Contents - flow into 2 columns
I'd like to get a Table of Contents to flow in 2 columns ... listing links down left column first then continuing the list down the right column before going on to the next page. Something like this:

First topic ........ 1 TwentyFirst topic ....... 102
Second topic ..... 3 TwentySecond topic ... 108
Third topic ........ 5 TwentyThird topic ....... 117
Fourth topic ....... 7 TwentyFourth topic ..... 119
Fifth topic .......... 9 TwentyFifth topic ........ 130
etc...
Twentieth topic ...98

--- end of page here --


Thirtieth topc ... 215 Fortifirst topc ........... 315
Thirtifirst topic .. 220 Fortysecond topic ..... 320
etc


I currrently have a STYLE defined that will display the table of contents in a single narrow column

// Create a new style called TOC based on style Normal
style = document.Styles.AddStyle("TOC2", "Normal");
style.Font.Name = "Arial Narrow";
style.Font.Size = 6;
style.ParagraphFormat.AddTabStop("2cm", TabAlignment.Left, TabLeader.Dots);
style.ParagraphFormat.AddTabStop("8cm", TabAlignment.Right);
style.ParagraphFormat.Font.Color = Colors.Blue;


Is there a way to flow the paragraph or is there a different approach?

thanks.

I'd make a table with two columns and distribute the TOC entries between the columns.

You'll have to handle pagebreaks yourself in this approach (simple if all entries fit into 1 line each).
