Hi everyone,

thanks to the formidable scripting guide and the including examples, I'm
stuck in placing a table of contents without being on the page itself where
I want it to be placed.
I use the following statement, where myTOCPage is the page where I want to
have the TOC to be placed and myTOCStyle is the style of the TOC:

Call myDocument.CreateTOC(myTOCStyle, placePoint:=myTOCPage)

This triggers me an automation error, so there must be something wrong with
this optional named parameter, because
Call myDocument.CreateTOC(myTOCStyle) works as expected, but places the
generated TOC text frame on the actual page, not where it has to be.
Hope someone also had encountered this and can help me. Thanks in advance.

Jens
