Can I show outline numbering in a table of contents?

I am using an outline to put together a reference book. This is hte format I'm using:
A. Law and Justice
     1. Law of the Land
          a. Example
          b. Example
     2. Law Publication
          a. Example
          b. Example
B. Government and Civil Officers
     1. Requirements for Civil Leaders
However, the table of contents shows, "Law and Justice" instead of "A Law and Justice" It also does not show the second level number. For example, it shows "Law of the Land" instead of "1. Law of the Land". Does anyone know how I can force the table of contents to show the numbering?
Thanks!

Pages T.O.C. does not include any List numbering and no you can not force it to.
If you want numbering, you'll have to type it manually.
Or use alternative software. Pages (whatever version you are using) is not compulsory.

Can LR show the numbers in Quick developement panel?

Try to use quick development panel, it is easy to use but for exposure, clarity and vibrance you cannot see how many stops you have adjusted.

Any comment?

>I think that Quick Deve function is useless if you can not see the how >many stops you have adjusted.
When LR first came out I did not "get" the Quick Dev function. Luminous Landscape have an excellent video tutorial for LR by Michael Reichmann and Jeff Schewe.
It explains that the QD function is there to allow you to make quick visual adjustments to images to assist in choosing picks / rejects and generally culling a shoot. Until you have the exposure / contrast / colour balance somewhere near correct, it is difficult to properly evaluate a shot. Using QD like this then makes sense, it's not supposed to duplicate or take the place of the develop module.
Note that the adjustments you make in QD are relative, that is if you select a group of generally underexposed shots and increase the exposure the amount will be relative to each shots original exposure level.

Adjusting page numbering in the Table of Contents

I have a question regarding adjusting page numbering in the table of contents. I have manually adjusted my page numbering to start at page 3, which is now called page 1. But my table of contents still show this page as page 3, while I want it to be shown as page 1.
How do I do this?
I tried to find an answer somewhere on this forum, but I couldn't find one. Neither could I find a solution in the help file.
I hope you understand my question. I also included the document, which might be of help. Thank you!

This answer assumes that your document uses the Default page style for physical pages 1-3. You are going to need two different page styles to accomplish what you want. (I'm guessing you have used a page number offset of -2 to get your physical page 3 numbered as 1 and this simply will not work in the TOC.)
Put your cursor in the Title page (physical page 1) and open the Stylist (F11). Click the Page icon (4th from left) then click the New Style From Selection icon (2nd from right). Give it a name like 'Body'. Before you close the Stylist double click on Default just to make sure you did not change the style of the 1st page.
While you are still on the 1st page click into the footer and remove the page number field assuming you do not want it.
Put you cursor in the FIRST (1st) paragraph of the 3rd page and do **Format > Paragraph > Text Flow tab. In the Breaks section, check the Enable box, if not already checked, then check the With Page Style box, select the Body style from the drop down menu and set the page number to 1.
If the page number field is still in the footer on this page then delete it and insert it again. It should now show 1.
Click into the TOC, right click and select Update Index/Table.
Just in case you have trouble translating this to your version of SO I have fixed your document and have attached it.
* *To change to a new page style while writing your document do Insert > Manual Break > Page Break and select the new style. If you want a new page number you can check that box and set the new number.

I can't get the page numbers in my table of contents to update when I update the book.

I'm using Framemaker 11 and I have two TOCs in my book: one in English and one in French. Each TOC links to different documents in the same book. The reference page for each TOC is set and correctly displays the heading 1 and 2 I've told it to display, but the numbers do not update when the content in my document files changes to a different page. I've checked the conditional text settings in my document files; they are correct. When I update the book, I choose to update Numbering, All Cross-References, All Text Insets, OLE Links, Generate Table of Contents, Lists, and Indexes. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

I just tested this out and saw the same result as Rick - a book with child books ignores all generated files within the child books. This applies to adding content from them (e.g. their titles) to actually including them in the output. This applies to all versions of FM since v.9!
However, there is a workaround for this. You need to use the hierarchical book structure in the parent book and create Folders for each book that you want to add. Then manually add the generated files (TOC, IX, List of..., etc.) and book to the respective folder. This is what it looks like for two child books in a parent book:
Note that the child book generated files (TOC, IOR) show as just regular files at this point in the parent book. To get the page numbering to be continuous throughout the parent book, you will need to make a couple of passes. First set folder, files and books to have the Numbering continue from the previous (if you want all sequential page numbers). This will set the page numbers correctly except for what they were in the respective book TOCs. You will need to use the starting page number of the child TOC files in each folder (it shows in the Book status bar when click on the TOC file in the master/parent book).
To set the individual book TOCs to be correct in the parent book, open the child book and set the TOC Numbering to start at the page stated in the parent book (status bar). Now update the child book to set the correct (parent book) page numbers in the child TOC. [This is a necessary manual step, as the page number assigned in the parent book is ignored when th child book is individually updated and FM uses 1 to start off the sequence in the child book.] Repeat for each child book in the master/parent book.
The final step is to Update the parent book and create the PDF. You should now have all of the files included in the PDF and the child TOCs should show the correct page numbers of the master book.
This whole process of books within books seems a bit borked and one shouldn't have to be jumping through hoops to include child generated files. Please report this as a bug via: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm

Find/Change Item Numbers and create Table of Contents

Hello! I need help to find all my item numbers and apply a paragraph style to it so I can use them to create a Table of Contents page.
Sample item numbers
#12345
#12345-5
#12345-20
#12345-ABC
#12345/N
I tried entering #^?^?^?^?^? on the Find/Change box and but this will find exactly the 5 characters after the # sign. I wonder if you can find all characters starting with # and until the last characters.
Once I find all the item numbers, how can I apply the paragraph style for only those characters after the # sign? Because I only want to show the item numbers without the # sign on the Table of contents/Index page.
By the way, I have InDesign CS2 which have no GREP function Maybe I can do this without the GREP?
I really appreciate any help. Thank you very much.

You actually have two problems here. The first is to assign the paragraph style. For that you can use GREP.
Find #\d+ and leave the change field blank, but in the change formatting pick the paragraph style. Stricly speaking you only need to find #\d or even just # because a paragraph style applies to an entire paragraph, so assigning it to any character inthe paragraph will assign it to the entire paragraph.
Which is your second problem. The TOC is based on paragraph styles and will include all of the text in each paragraph (up to the character limit for a TOC entry, which I think is 256 characters). You can't make a TOC and only use some of the paragraph. For that you need to use an index, or you need to make hidden or non-pinting frames with only the exact text you want in the TOC and assign a unique style to those.
It's also possible someone has written (or could write) a script that can find text strings that match a pattern such as your numers, assign a character style to them (you could actually do that part in the paragraph style by adding a nested GREP style), then making a list of the text strings along with the page number on which they appear -- almost the same as an index except it would be based on character style, not an index marker.

Chapter Numbers in a table of contents

Hi Experts,
I'd like to add a table of contents (TOC) including chapter numbers in my template. For example:
Table of Contents
1. Title
1.1 Sub-Title
1.1.1 SubSub-Title
To do so:
•     I created a template with a table of contents.
•     In the report body, I determine the chapter number using <?position()?>: <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,’H1’, position())?>
•     Once the chapter number determined, I write it in the title: <?XDOXSLT:GET_VARIABLE($_XDOCTX,’H1’)?>.DEPARTMENT LEVEL: <?SUBNODE_NM?> - STORE: <?STORE_UNIT_ID?> on which I applied the heading style required
=>     When I launch the report, the chapter number appears correctly in the report body but not in the TOC. In the TOC, I only get the title chapter.
Any idea how I could do this?
Thank you in advance,
Sonia.

Hi Sonia,
You can directly use position() instead of storing in variables (Refer Template Builder for Word - TOC marker in foreach loop for an example).
But if you want to you variables for some other reasons, then use xsl context specific variables.
Instead of <?position()?>: <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,’H1’, position())?> use
*<?variable@incontext:c1;position()?>*
and instead of <?XDOXSLT:GET_VARIABLE($_XDOCTX,’H1’)?>.DEPARTMENT LEVEL: .... use
*<?$c1?>.DEPARTMENT LEVEL: (formatted as Heading1).*
So on the whole it wold be similar to
<?for-each:group_name?>
<?variable@incontext:c1;position()?>
<?$c1?>.DEPARTMENT LEVEL:
Chapter contents
<?end for-each?>
Now update your TOC (right click -> update field).
Now you should be able to see the chapter numbers both in TOC and report body.
Hope this helps.

How do I update only the page numbers of a table of contents in Indesign CS6?

Hi there!
Please help! I'm making a medical book with more then 1300 pages and about 40 different table of contents.
I want to update only the page numbers on all the table of contents. But I only see the option to update the complete table of contents.
I saw on other forums that this is a familiar and very old problem. Did Adobe already fixed this?

hahaha thanks no I won't Using cross-references in the future! but sending the request anyway; nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Thanks again!

How best to include additional on-page info (*as well as*) page numbers in a Table of Contents?

Hi all -
I'm creating a directory / listings document. At the end of the publication, I need to create a "quick reference" section - with an alphabetised listing of each entry, some key info from each entry, and the page number for each entry.
I've created a unique paragraph style for each of the lines that I need to include here - so the Table of Contents is picking them up successfully.
However, I'm struggling to style the outputs of the Table of Contents the way I need: I want a tab between each of the included paragraph styles that are returned for each entry, and then a line return at the end.
So…
First Hotel name -> Star Rating -> Number of Bedrooms -> etc etc
Second Hotel name -> Star Rating -> Number of Bedrooms -> etc etc
Instead of…
First Hotel name
Star Rating
Number of Bedrooms
etc
Second Hotel name
Star Rating
Number of Bedrooms
etc
Any suggestions?
One important point to note - I'm using CS5.5… an upgrade is in my future, but I want to finish this project first! (Don't want to switch mid-stream.)
Thanks!

Thanks. I went there and bulleted align by decimal, but it didn't work on the page. For one thing, when I highlight that page, for some weird reason the numbers from 9 up DO NOT HIGHLIGHT. ! Only the text following those numbers highlight, altho all the other numbers and text following 9 highlight!
Don't know why it would have this weird situation! Seems like a flaw in the design.
I tried moving the little blue cursors above, but I'd need to move it half a step either way to bring those one-digit number decimals in alignment with the rest. For some reason the cursors will ONLY move a full step! So they're out of alignment no matter what I do. Darn!

Can't get rid of prefixes in Table of Contents

Doing a table of contens for a book with 12 chapters. Mostly it works fine but one thing I can't get right: most of the entries work fine but some appear with prefixes, as in "Ch_5:102.
I can't get rid of them. I have gone to the made sure that no prefix is entered in the numbering options for that chapter. I have done "Update Numbering" several times. What else can I try.
I'm also confused about how to select the correct TOC styles for different headings in my chapters. In the chapters, I have styles "Heading One" "Heading Two" etc. and I want to associate them with styles TOC One, TOC Two, etc. but I find it a bit confusing.
Thanks

Display Outline Numbering in a Hierarchical Query (Report)

I have a requirement to show outline numbering of a Financial report.
We hava a hierarchical query for displaying the report so you will see the report is indented.
But what i want is to automatically number the items like this:
1
   1.1
   1.2
   1.3
        1.3.1
        1.3.2
   1.4
2.

3..
....Can we utilize Microsoft Word's Outline Numbering / Indents feature? or someone had succesffully implemented this?
Thanks,

Microsoft Word-Table of Contents-Update Page Numbers

I am having trouble updating my page numbers within the Table of Contents in a Microsoft Word document. On a Windows machine, I would click to the left of the table and then click F9. On an Apple, that adjusts the brightness of the screen or modifies the screen if I accompany the F9 with the Apple or Function button. Does anyone know how to update the page numbers without creating a new Table of Contents?

In Mac OSX it is possible to change or create keyboard shortcuts for all applications as well as the system itself.
Go to +System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse > Keyboard shortcuts+
Select the menu item for whatever application, in this case Dock, Exposé and Dashboard, click on the keyboard shortcut and change it to whatever you would like.
It will then work the next time you launch the application. If it is a menu item the name of the shortcut must match the menu name exactly.

Word to PDF does not keep hyperlinks in Table of Contents ?

I have used my free trial of Adobe CreatePDF before purchasing the annual subscription.
I was surprised to see that the PDF document did not keep the clickable hyperlinks that Word uses in a Table of Contents. As this is the exact same behaviour as the "Save as PDF ..." option that I have natively available on my computer I don't see the point of paying a subscription to the service. Or am I doing something wrong?
MAC OS X Lion (10.7.2)
Office for Mac 2011
150-page .doc document with Section, Chapter, and various Heading Styles defined
WORD automatically-built Table of Contents
In the WORD document, the page numbers in the Table of Contents are hyperlinks to the concerned page
Convert WORD to PDF using "Save as PDF ..." option in the "Print..." dialog box
====> Table of Contents hyperlinks are not preserved (the page numbers are no longer clickable)
Convert WORD to PDF using Adobe CreatePDF
====> Table of Contents hyperlinks are not preserved (the page numbers are no longer clickable)
Am I missing something or is this the way it is intended (not) to work?
P.S.: I know that, on the MAC, I can use Preview to manipulate the PDF document I obtain through "Print..." > "Save as PDF...". One of the things I can do is to select the page numbers in the Table of Contents and add a 'link' to each. But this is a VERY cumbersome process. Actually, I have to create a link for each page number, one at a time, on a table of contents that may consist of in excess of 50 entries. As I have a collection of 50-odd documents and am on a schedule of distributing new versions every two weeks or so, this procedure is completely unusable. Hence my search for a (paid) service that converts my documents while preserving the hyperlinks of the Word-created Table of Contents. Either I am doing something wrong or such service does simply not exist ...

Good day fgrexsg,
You are correct in that the workflow you described will not produce links in the resulting PDF files. The steps that Lori outlined work great if you're working on Office for Windows in terms of getting the links to work when converting using the CreatePDF service.
In order to make this work on the Mac, you'll have to take a few extra steps within Office first.
You're going to have to repeat this step for each item in your TOC. While this will be time-consuming for a 150-page document, it will work.
Within your TOC, highlight the entire entry listing (e.g. Topic 1.........3)
Once the entire line is highlighted, choose Insert > Hyperlink
Click 'Document' to select a location within the current document.
Under the 'Anchor' option, either type in the Heading/Sub-heading (must be exact) of the page you want the hyperlink to attach to or click 'Locate' and find the proper Heading/Sub-heading within the structure.
As I said, this will probably be time-consuming on such a large document, but it will work.
Unfortunately Office for Mac just simply isn't as full-featured as its Windows counterpart.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Kind regards,

Table of contents from lists or character styles

I have a legal document and I want to create a table of contents that includes, not just Headings (Article I, II, III, etc.) but also the sub headings (eg: Artilcle IV.3) which were created as numbered lists. If I give the list item a paragraph style it will put the whole text into the TOC. If I put a carrige return after a List heading it makes the body text as a new number in the list. Is there some wat to get either lists or character styles into the TOC? Can you have an in-line paragraph style? Here's what the document looks like:
Article VII Heading
List Heading. body text...
a)   Sublist heading body text
b)   Sublist heading body text
List Heading. body text...
Is there any way to do this so that the TOC reads something like this:
Article I   Heading              ....... page 2
          2. List Heading          ....... page 2
            a) Sublist Heading   ....... page 2
            b) Sublist Heading   ....... page 2
          3. List Heading          ....... page 3
Article II                              ....... page 3
etc. ??
I could do this manually, but this is document is being edited now and again and I don't want to have to change the TOC everytime we make a small chage to the document.
Thanks,
Brendan

The numbering and lettering are automatically generated by the List I selected.
It's been a few months since I did this, so I'm trying to remember exactly how the process went.
I've edited Bylaws and Constitutions like this several times for several non-profit organizations over the years, first on MS-DOS with floppy-discs using WordPerfect, later Windows and MS-Word, and now Mac OS-X and Pages '09. With each new iteration of software it keeps getting less painful, but it's still not a piece of cake.
This time, I began with scanned images of the last printed original copy (2008) for a document that no longer existed in any original computer format (1994). I imported the scans into Optical Character Recognition software included with my Canon printer/scanner.
I was determined NOT to re-type the whole document from scratch, so the editing I describe WAS time-consuming and a bit tedious, but still a bit less painful that starting from scratch. I'm a volunteer and retired. A paid fast(er) touch-typist working in an office (and their supervisor) might strongly disagree!
After cleaning up a few OCR-generated typos, I was also determined not to manually re-create the outline format and the table of contents if at all possible. Even 1980's WordPerfect on floppy discs could automatically generate an outline and a table of contents from marked text!
I used Lists to generate the desired outline format similar to the original, in some cases, correcting errors, but as shown in the above example, there are a few A's without B's and so on, because the original document (1994) was formatted that way, and I didn't want to substantially re-write the Bylaws at this time. (Save that for another day!)
As I edited, with the printed original by my computer, I did delete the original outline I's, A's, 1's a's, and so on as I went through, letting List do the re-numbering, and using Style to format the newly numbered headings.
Simple shortcuts when auto-generating lists: a [Tab] moves the active heading to the next-lower designation, and [Shift]+[Tab] moves it to the next-higher designation. Occasionally, I have to just use [Delete] to back up over the suggested letter, and start over again with [Return] to force the next letter/number.
And opening Inspector, Text, Lists, as shown in the example above, might help you more easily 'control' the outcome, as does Inspector, Document, TOC, noted earlier.
Hope this helps!
