Yes, I think that is close to what Luuk proposed, except that he hid "Dedication:" by making the 
font color white rather than using the Hidden attribute (prompting my question in that regard) ...

... and here you have done what I would have done: make the "Dedication" style explicitly part of 
the hierarchy. But Luuk (if I understood correctly) did not do that (which is what prompted my other question 
to him).

This may be the reason for using White font color rather than the Hidden attribute...

... and this is a standard part of TOC setup.

Thanks for explaining in such detail. As I said, I think it is close to what Luuk proposed, except that in step 2 you do what I 
would do to establish the indexing reference (if using "Additional styles" indexing), and I still don't see how Luuk 
did it.  Did you see what Michael H proposed, using "Index marks" rather than "Additional styles"? That seems 
the cleanest way to do this.

Kind regards,
John
