Creating Spaces in Table of Contents

Hi everyone,
I have a nagging problem that I'm sure has a simple solution. Here is a very simple TOC I've set up with ID's automated feature. However, I'm trying to figure out how to add some spacing before and after the underlined style, instead of having it run right up to the section name and page number as you see here...
Here's a shot of my TOC setup. Like I said, very simple at this point...
I've tried many different types of special characters in the "Between Entry and Number:" drop down, with now luck. I realize I can manually type a couple spaces after my headings and before my page numbers, but I'd prefer to do it with the TOC feature.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
-Andy

You can add spaces either side of the tab in the Between Entry and Number field (pick them fom the list when you click the arrow), but you don't want to use a style to add the underline here. Instead, add it as a nested style inthe paragraph style you assign to the listings: None up to 1 Right Indent Tab, the underline style through 1 Right Indent Tab...

Hi Vivek,
To you may create on demand sub report.
In main report only the link will be shown when you click on the link the sub report will be opened in a new tab.
It can be placed in a Group header and to show the data for that particular group only.
Click on the Help menu in the crystal Reports Designer and open the Crystal Reports Help
Go to Index tab and type in subreport
Select Creating On demand you will get lot of information on that.
Please let us know if that is enough to solve your problem

Space in table cell content

Hi,
I want to add some space before and after the table cell content. I am using setIntercellSpacing() method to achieve that and I could get the required functionality. But its adding space in the Table Header also which looks odd. Is there any way to set the spacing only for the cell and not for the table header.
Let me know if anyone has solution for this.
Thanks and Regards,
R.Vishnu Varadhan.

I find this behaviour of setIntercellSpacing() very annoying, too. Why the hell did the Swing developers implement it that way?
Nevertheless, you can create the desired effect by writing a custom cell renderer, but that is if course more work than that single method call.

Can I create a custom table of contents and link to other .pdf files based on responses to a form?

Hey Everyone! First post ever, so bear with me:
I'm trying to create a streamlined method to use a form to let myself and others add information and select certain options to put together a custom table of contents. Basically, I would like to have a form with a series of text fill and single/multiple choice options that will automatically populate a table of contents based on the selections and will link to other .pdf files that are associated with the selections. I was hoping this would be possible with a form, but I'm relatively new to the function of the software as a whole and my research came up short. Any suggestions on how to start are more than welcome, and if I wasn't quite clear enough I would be happy to elaborate.
Thanks for your time!

You would need to search for other PDF creation software that can accomplish what you desire.
There are many cheaper PDF creation alternatives other than Adobe's Acrobat Pro software.
Also, try doing a web search under these terms to see if you can find an app/software/solution that may work for you.

Hi meatmailbox,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The best way to backup your iTunes library is to an external hard drive. The article below will explain how to do this. If you want the files on a CD or DVD, you would need to create playlists. I'll include that information as well.

"Create Link" in table of contents being overwritten?

Hello community,
I'm using Acrobat X. Just one item in my table of contents is linking incorrectly. I've deleted the link and tried making new ones by:
Using the Link tool under Tools > Content.
Right-clicking the text and selecting "Create Link."
For some reason the link keeps taking me past the heading I want and onto the start of the following page. Text is about 2/3 of the way down on the page. I can link anywhere else in the document just fine -- even higher up on the same page. Just not around this one particular heading.
Any ideas why this is happening? It's driving me mad.
Thanks in advance.

Try using the go to a page view action for the link.
Be well...

Create a an Table of content or an Index page in report in Oracle BI Publisher

I want to create an Index page for my multi page report in Oracle BI Publisher. Any help would be appreciated.
I am using MS word 2010 for creating the template (*.rtf file). Please let me know if any more details are required.
I am creating a rtf template for generating a report in oracle BI Publisher. The report displays the details for all the products used by the customer. Report contains 1 product per page. All the products have same template.
What I want is to create an Index page, which displays the product name and the page number of the report in which it is generated.
For eg. Customer Papa Johns uses 10 products. The report generated will contain below details: 1st Page -> Cover Page containing Basic details of customer.
2nd Page -> Index page containing the product names and the page numbers
3rd page: Product 1 details
4th page: Product 2 Details .
and so on.
INDEX
Product Name Page No.
Anchovies 4
Apple Topping 5
Bacon 6
Barbecue Sauce 7
Barbecue Sauce2 8
Chicken Topping 9
Dough 10
Please note that the number of product will be variable(may increase or decrease), hence there may be case when the index page takes more that 1 or 2 pages just to print the product names and their respective page numbers.

Can you double space a table of contents page?

Sorry for this newbie question. I have searched help and the forum and I can't find an answer that helps me. I have a document that I'm working with and the table of contents if functional. However, I would like to doublespace the table of contents lines and I can't figure out how to do that. Would anyone have any suggestions? Thank You for your time!

Select the TOC then Inspector > T tab > Text > Line , there is a small button to the right >Double

How to create the Table of Contents in Preview for a pdf file?

Does anyone know how to use the Preview to create a new table of contents or add a new link to the existing table of contents?
Thanks

Preview cannot do this - it is not a PDF editing utility. If you have the original document in an editable format (eg a Pages, or Word document) then you can edit it, print it, and from the print dialogue, save as a PDF. Otherwise you'll need the full Adobe product or similar to acheive what you want.

Sections and Automatic Table of Contents

Hello there,
I have encountered a problem with InDesign while trying to make an automatic TOC for a journal I am working on. It has something to do with Sections.
So I have a book with several indd files. The very first indd file is called "frontpages" which includes the cover page, the inside cover, the leaf page, then two facing pages for the table of contents, then followed by the last page (Letter from the Editor).
This is followed by my second indd file called "newsbeats" which has 5 pages.
Now, what I wanted to do was mark the frontpages' page numbers using lower case roman numerals (i, ii, iii, etc.) Of course I do not want to include the cover page and the inside cover, so I want to start (i) with the leaf page, (ii) and (iii) marks the table of contents pages, and finally (iv) for the Editor's Letter. I did this by starting a section at the leaf page, START PAGE NUMBERNG AT: 1, and selecting the (i, ii, iii...) option. It worked, while leavingboth the cover page and and the inside cover with markers (a) and (b), which I previously set (because I do not know how to just get rid of the page number...)
Now, my book pages actually starts page (1) in the first page of the "newsbeats" document. So to do that, I made another section on the newsbeats first page, START PAGE NUMBERING AT: 1, and selected (1, 2, 3...). That works, too.
So at the moment, I have 3 sections to my page numbers: 1) the lower case letters (a, b) section for the cover page and inside cover, respectively; 2) the roman numerals section (i, ii, iii...) for the leafpage, table of contents, and Editor Letter; and lastly, 3) the arabic letters (1, 2, 3...) starting from the newsbeats document all the way to the last page of the last indd of my book.
Hope it is clear enough. Now here comes the problem:
When I try to create an automatic Table of Contents, it correctly finds my chapters (i used the style for each journal article's title) and lists them. The problem is, the page numbers do not appear correctly. Instead, it shows "a" on EACH AND EVERY table of contents ENTRY. I tried some trial and error, and found out that the pages shown (a bunch of "a") is actually the COVER PAGE'S (a) page number....
I tried for hours searching on topics like "Sections and Automatic TOC" or "How to selectively choose which pages to include in a TOC".. But I found none.
Your help would be really appreciated. I can easily manually type the page numbers (my journal only has 9 articles), but I wanted to do this in a very systematic way, so it would be a lot easier if in any case, there are more than 9 articles for next year's publication.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
- Larry
PS: I attached a file showing the generated table of contents (on the ii-iii page that I wanted it to appear on), with the frontpages page panel, which shows the page numbering as well. Also I included the Book Panel, so you see how the pages are set up.

We definitely experienced the same issue. Seems like pages just get lost. This is the approach I took:
On the groups main page we just added a link called 'View All Articles' wrapped in a h1 tag (to make it very big and visible to the user) using the following url:
search/?q=%20
The resulting page will search for every article with a space in it and return the results. Still not the most elegant solution but it works. I'd like to implement it right into the xsl file but haven't found very much documentation to aid in this.

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.

Table of Contents Issue/Question

Hi everyone, I hope I can put my question accurately into words.
I'm working on a 450 page product catalog in Indesign CS5 for the mac. The catalog has 7 main sections, in which there are numerous smaller sections. I need to create a table of contents for these smaller sections, however, my issue is this; my table of contents is based on the product names which I've applied a paragraph style to, but, also included on the same line that the product name is, are several small icons. I used the library function to put these icons into place. I put my curser where I wanted the icons to be, went to the library, right clicked on the icon I wanted, and selected place item. I found this to be the easiest way since there were approximately 1500 products in the catalog. So, my issue is, now that I'm creating a mini-table of contents for these numerous sections, the icons are included in my table of contents, which I don't want. I can manually go in and delete each icon, but I'm thinking there has to be a faster way. I thought of possibly a grep style but can't figure out how to make that work.
Any help would be appreciated! It's going to take a while to delete each one of those. I hope I've described this accurately; please feel free to ask any questions if it's not clear.
Thanks so much!
Annette

Oh my gosh, that did it! Thank you sooooo much!
I couldn't figure out how to choose just those characters because I hadn't designated them as anchored objects; that was throwing me, but I guess Indesign saw them as such.
Thanks again, you've saved me hours of work!
Sincerely,
Annette

Table of Contents in PDF Export

I've generated a Table of Contents in iWork '09. When I export this to a PDF using the Best Quality, it doesn't contain a table of contents. I think this would be a very useful option, since I use iWork to create technical documents.

There are normally three ways to create a TOC (Table of Contents). Which did you try to use?
1) Bookmarks: Most applications and non-graphic only devices will interpret a list of bookmarks as a TOC if exported properly as part of the PDF file. Unfortunately, Pages does not appear to export this data as part of the file export or does so in such a way that the bookmarks are not recognized by other applications/devices including Apple's own Preview. If this is what you are trying to do, you would need to use a secondary application to re-bookmark your content. (NOTE: Don't use Preview for this as its bookmarks are also not recognized by other applications/device and only work when using Preview as the reader.)
2) Pages "Insert TOC" Option: This option should produce a a working TOC that will work on non-graphic only devices and/or applications that allow touch, stylus, cursor movement, etc to highlight/activate internal/external links. This form of active annotation has the advantage of being able to update and display page references automatically as you create the document. If this is what you tried to do and it didn't work, the most frequent problem is a failure on the part of the user to tag the text on the page you want included in the TOC with one of the "header" tags (i.e., h1 thru h6). Properly tagging your text will allow the selected text to be automatically added to your TOC along with the page number on which the text is tagged if desired. Further, tagging the text allows you to redefine the style of that tag at any time you wish and apply the change to all other text similarly tagged.
3) Manual Links: The third option is highlight selected text in your document and add it manually to your bookmark list. Then you would select the text (either on a manually created TOC page or anywhere else in your document) and link it manually to one of your bookmark entries. As you can see, this process can be much more time consuming but should work under the same conditions mentioned above regarding the auto-generated TOC. This option does not require tagging of the content nor does it prohibit it.
