Table of Contents on Alternative Layouts

$

Hello Everyone,

 

I am not sure if I am the only one with this issue or workflow. We do proposals in booklet format and they often require table of contents. Normally the proposals are very similar. Often times the header changes, but the content is the same. Just depends on the Vice President and client receiving the proposal. So, when the headers change, the TOC has to match. So, I could just overwrite the headers, updated the TOC, but then a few days later, I have to revert them back to the previous headers, update the TOC again.

 

So, my solution is alternative layouts. Two very similar proposals, with the different headers, which also need new TOC to match those headers.

 

My issue is I can change the parent TOC, but not the child or the second alternative layout. It will not update or allow me to update the TOC because it is grayed out.

 

Just frustrated. I could just create a new file doing a save as, but then I would have multiple files that are technically the same, with just one header being different.

 

I am currently using Adobe Creative Cloud on a Windows 7 platform.

 

I tested this, but there are not many options to choose. I chose replace existing TOC, but that does what it says, and replaces the TOC with all the headers now from both layouts. I cannot seem to have two separate TOC on two separate layouts and have both of them update with their respective page headers.

 

Thanks,

Mike
