Showing "Title Page" in PBB Table of Contents

Currently when I compile a PBB, the table of contents shows the title of the book at the top. However, for Logos editions of books, it says "Title Page" instead. I would like PBBs to have this feature. I think it might have something to do with headings and milestones, but I can't figure out exactly what to do.

A table of contents (TOC) is created by utilizing headings. A prime heading is "heading 1," and subheadings (nested) are "heading 2," etc. I am not quite sure what you are asking, but you need to make sure you have the right headings for each section.

Here's an example of what the Logos edition of a book has:

Here's what a PB has:

I want my own books to have "Title Page" at the top to of the TOC instead of the title of the book. I think a related problem is the location listed in the locator bar. It has the whole title listed, but because I have a manual line break in my .docx file, it doesn't have a space. I think this whole thing has something to do with how Logos compiles the book. Perhaps it looks for the first paragraph and lists that as the first heading in the TOC? Because the titles in my .docx files don't have outline levels (level 1, level 2, etc.) the way heading styles do.

Apparently it did not include my images. Hmm.

If you own the rights to the content within the document, you could post a sample. Else, screen shots might be instructive.

Any ideas?

I don't think Personal Books support setting the name of the article (in the Table of Contents on the left) to something different than what's in the body text of the resource.

I think if the first page of the .docx is the title page and you type the very first paragraph of the .docx file as "Title Page", set it as Heading 1 style, then change the font color (of just that paragraph, not the style) to white, it won't appear in the body of the PB (except as the space of a blank line), but will be the first entry of the TOC. In the test I did, it also suppressed the title of the book in the TOC. If the space taken by the invisible "Title Page" line is annoying, try setting the font of that to something very small, like 1.

That's an interesting idea. I tried something with hidden text but it didn't work. I'll try this.
