RE: Formatting entries in a FrameMaker List of Tables

["Fred Ridder" <docudoc -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

This is normal behavior. When a hypertext marker is inserted in a
FrameMaker paragraph, the active area for the marker (the "hot
spot") extends from the marker forward until FrameMaker
encounters one of the following:
a) the end of the paragraph
b) a change in character formatting
c) a new hypertext marker
When you build a generated list file (i.e. TOC, LOF, or LOT, but
not an index) with hyperlinks enabled, FrameMaker inserts the
hypertext marker at the beginning of each entry. If the entry
does not use any character formatting, the entire entry including
the page number is active as a hyperlink. If you do use character
formatting, the active area only extends to the right to the point
where the formatting changes. If you use boldface text and a
plain page number (or vice versa), the page number will not be
active because it is on the far side of a formatting change.

Note that indexes behave differently because the assumption
is that there can be (and generally are) multiple page numbers
listed for any given entry. In an index, the hypertext marker
is placed just before each page number and none of the text
of any entry is active. This is completely logical, but I personally
find it annoying becaus the individual page numbers are rather
small targets for clicking, particularly when I'm using a trackball
(or touchpad or laptop pointing nubbin) rather than a real mouse.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.
