If I am understanding your TOC question, You don't build a separate TOC in
WWP, you use the (or a) FrameMaker TOC. There are two ways I have tried
this:

1. Simply hide/show the appropriate Conditions for your Help project, and
regenerate the TOC, then open WWP and generate your help project.

2. Create a second Book containing just the files needed for your help
project and create a new TOC. You still have to set your conditions,
generate the TOC, then open the WWP project and generate the Help.

Either way you have to update numbering and regenerate your TOC before
printing or PDFing your print docs.

As far as your second question goes, setting up a WWP template pretty
complex. My advice would be:

Get "the WebWorks Publisher Cookbook" (by Sarah S. O'Keefe, Bill Burns,
Sheila A. Long, published by Scriptorium Press), join the WWP list on Yahoo
Groups (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wwp-users). Then just dig into the
docs and keep plugging. Another alternative is to contact Quadralay about
building your template. The downside the cost (of course, how much money is
your company paying you to build a template), and the fact you wouldn't know
anything about the template and how to make adjustments to it.
