Not sure what would cause this, but here are a few questions that may help
pin it down:
- Is the TOC entry correct in Frame? Or is the problem only happening once
you create the Help? This should tell us if the problem is in the original
FrameMaker docs or in the translation through WebWorks.
- Is the TOC link to a Heading or to a CrossLink? If a CrossLink, check that
the link is correct. If to a Heading, are there any other headings with the
same text?

Until next time...
