CS3 Won't Generate a TOC in book?

Hi everyone!
I am trying to create a table of contents for a book I have laid out in CS3, but I keep hitting a problem with the program only pulling the styles from the page I currently have open. When I open the dialogue for the table of contents, a box appears that shows it scanning the other chapters in the document, so I know it's reading the entire book.
I go in, tell it to pull the two styles I want and then hit ok, but the TOC is only pulling the styled text from the current document and not the whole book.
I thought that maybe all the styles were different, so I created a new style for the text I wanted pulled and opened each chapter separately and reapplied it to all the chapters. (TEDIOUS, but eh...) I tried generating the TOC again, but still had no luck. I have followed the steps in the original training manual i first learned InDesign with to a T, but am having an issue.
Any ideas on what I should do?

Have you created TOC Paragraph Styles? or try looking at The InDesigner Podcasts 33 to 37 for a complete References.
Regards Bj.

  • How to generate a TOC in Rh8 based on a structured Fm9 book

    Hi,
    After linking a structured FrameMaker 9 book in RoboHelp 8, is it possible to generate a RoboHelp TOC with the same folder structure?
    For example, let's say you've created a structured Fm book which consists of several DITA (XML) topics organized into folders, as shown below.
    After linking the book in Rh, is there a way to automatically generate a TOC with the same folder structure, as shown below? The TOC should remain linked, so that any changes you make to the Fm book will also be reflected in the TOC after you update the book in Rh.
    Note: As RJ Jacquez demonstrated in Linking FrameMaker 9 Books in RoboHelp 8 via Adobe Technical Communication Suite, this can be achieved with unstructured books and documents by using a TOC generated in Fm. However, if you attempt to use this method with structured documents (such as DITA files), the generated TOC is flattened, i.e., the folder structure is lost.
    Does anyone have any ideas or solutions?
    PS: I am using the Adobe Technical Communications Suite 2.

    Hi there,
    When you linked the book in Robohelp, in project manager pod just right click in the linked book and go to properties. There you have an option to select the TOC.
    Hope that helps
    Thanks

  • Help! My CS3 won't open RAW files from my Canon EOS 7D..

    I have always used Photoshop CS3 - I like it and am quick with it, and I shoot RAW files on Canon EOS.
    I don't want to upgrade to CS5, however since upgrading my camera to a 7D, Photoshop will no longer
    open my RAW files. I've tried to update plug-ins, I've tried to work through DNG [it won't open those either]
    and I've tried for hours on end to get an answer from Adobe on the phone. Nothing is working. Does anyone
    have any advice for me please? I'm begining to tear my hair out!! Emma

    Hi,
    Are you saying your Ps CS3 won't even open the sample DNG file (/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS3/Samples/Doors.dng)? If that's the case then you need to make sure you have the correct Camera Raw 4 plug-in installed properly.
    If it is just DNGs generated from your 7D files, then maybe the DNG Converter options need to be tweaked.
    regards

  • FM10 Can't generate the TOC with leading dots

    Hi everybody,
    I have read some useful threads here about this problem but I still can't seem to be able to resolve this leading dots issue for my TOC.
    I have already ensured that the reference page for all of my frame files in my Book have the same Reference page TOC entry. When I generate my TOC the leading dots are missing!
    I then open the Reference page for the TOC file as well and paste in the same TOC entries from my other frame files, and then update the book to regenerate the TOC.
    This also does not solve the problem.
    Any help resolving this issue would be really appreciated!
    Here are screen shots of my Reference page for my TOC(below). I have ensured that this same section is present for all of my book's frame files too (in their Reference page sections for TOCs).
    ChapterTitleTOC
    Heading1TOC
    Heading2TOC:
    And my generated TOC

    I have this happen all the time in FM9.
    Do you already have a TOC in your book file with the correct reference pages?
    Sometimes I have to do it twice, I don't know why, but if you have a TOC in your
    book file and then make another TOC, mine usually works...just a thought..

  • InDesign CS4 crashes generating a TOC

    I have read about other users problems with TOC's, but none of their solutions seems to be any help. My InDesign CS4 crashes either when I try to generate the TOC or when I select a specific paragraph style setting up the TOC. Unlike the users of later versions I get no message when the program crashes - it just happens.
    I am working on a book with 40 files (chapters) and inserting index codes and generating index is no problem. I have 12 GB RAM. Please help me.
    Leif

    Now I have performed your suggestions. I split one of the three documents in half and tried to open another document in the book - and the program crashed. I continued to spilt the halves, but since either half still caused a crash, i suspected that neither the text nor the pictures were the problem. I selected one of the halves and removed all text, all pictures, all master objects, but even if I now worked with two blank pages, the program still crashed!!
    Then I studied the panels and removed all unused object formats, paragraph formats, character formats etc. At last I noticed that the index panel still contained a reference - even if all text (and with that also all index references (entries)) was removed.
    Trying to open this reference to see what it contained, the program crashed even if I had only the document in question open!! I removed the index reference - and the program did not crash any more!!!
    When I removed this particular reference in the two other documents, the document did not crash any more!!! And of course I removed it from all documents and now I can open all my 45 documents in the book without problems.
    I suppose that the reason why this index reference caused the problem was that it contained slashes. The referred  text was
    Badeværelse/værksted/mørkekammer
    which means Bathroom/workshop/darkroom, but in fact the meaning is important.
    The conclusion is: InDesign cannot handle slashes in index references which conclusion I hope you will distribute to any user with problems.
    Thank you for supplying me with tools to solve my problem.

  • CS3 won't print

    I've suddenly run into a situation where PS CS3 won't print. The Print dialog comes up as usual, but after making the selections and hitting Print, the print job never makes it to the printer(s).I'm using Epson printers and running Mac OSX Leopard. I can print to the printers from other applications, and even from PS CS2. I've checked my scratch disk for space, so the images can be spooled, and have plenty of RAM available. The size of the images doesn't seem to matter.
    I recently upgraded to the latest CUPS drivers, but I don't think that should affect PS. Epson says that the printers have built in support in Leopard, so no individual drivers can be downloaded. I would think that PS would be using thebult in drivers that shiop with the OS and not the Gutenprint drivers, anyway.
    Has anyone had this problem before, or a solution?
    Thanks in advance
    William

    CUPS and Gutenprint are two different animals, though the former is needed to use the latter.
    You'll find the uninstaller here:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    CAUTIONARY NOTE for CS4 users: If you have an Epson printer model for which Epson does not offer a 16-bit printer driver (for instance the Epson 2200 don't know of any others off-hand)), the latest version of Gutenprint, 5.2.2, will allow you to use 16-bit printing in Tiger and Leopard. In that case, you may definitely want to keep Gutenprint. I've been running it with no problems for about a week.
    Gutenprint 5.2.2, released some two weeks ago, appears very stable and offers several bug fixes from earlier Gutenprint 5.2.x releases.
    On the other hand, don't take this as a riniging endorsement of 16-bit printing (yet) if you're not already experimenting with it. I'm very happy with preliminary results, but it does slow printing considerably, as you're sending an awful lot more information to the printer. :)

  • CS3:Problem in generating .ps file for an indesign document.

    Hello,
    I have ported a plug-in built for InDesign server CS2 to CS3.
    Generating ".ps" file is one of the functionality of my plug-in.
    But for the given document InDesign CS3 server Debug generated the following asserts in the server log.
    [21/05/2008 22:21:50] ~InstanceList(): 1 outstanding references to UID 2 (Class kRIDXBoss).
    [21/05/2008 22:21:50] ~InstanceList(): 1 outstanding references to UID 216 (Class kAssignmentBoss).
    [21/05/2008 22:21:50] ~InstanceList(): 1 outstanding references to UID 5 (Class kContentMgrBoss).
    [21/05/2008 22:21:50] ~InstanceList(): 1 outstanding references to UID 187 (Class kAssignmentBoss).
    [21/05/2008 22:21:50] ~InstanceList(): 1 outstanding references to UID 218 (Class kAssignedStoryBoss).
    [21/05/2008 22:21:50] ~InstanceList(): 1 outstanding references to UID 1 (Class kDocBoss).
    I have debugged the code and found that the following API is causing these asserts.
    IPrintSetupProvider::StartPrintPub( bool16 & bReturn,
    IDocument * iDoc,
    UIDRef & styleUIDRef,
    IPrintCmdData::PrintUIOptions & printPubUIOpt,
    IInkList * iInkList,
    ITrapStyleListMgr * iTrapListMgr
    when i shutdown the InDesign server got crashed.
    Can any one of you describe in detail the functionality of this API.
    I will be thankful if any one you can give some idea on how to resolve this issue.
    Thanks,
    sambolus.

    Lee,
    Sorry I think I didn't use the right terminology, somehow I want to include/link the file (not with menu item 'place') programmatically in my current open Indesign document, then I expect to see the filename in Link palette. I can do this with linking to a page item in doc but I don't want to assign it to a particular page item, rather I want to assign it to doc. Is any approach to do it?
    Thanks again,
    Mor

  • IBooks won't let me read a book

    I downloaded iBooks and bought a book on iTunes. It says that it would have gone straight to my iBooks and it has. However it won't let me read the book and says the format is incorrect or not a format that iBooks can open. Any ideas of help?

    Try deleting it and redownloading.  If that doesn't work, try using the Report a Problem link on your receipt.

  • CS3 won't print anymore

    Since I installed LR2, CS3 won't print any more. I worked already with LR1.4 and LR2beta.
    When I give a print command in CS3 I get two warnings: first that I have to install a printer and second that the print command can not be completed because of a Adobe Color Engine problem.
    But the "Print one Copy" command does work.
    I deleted all the prefslists of CS3, LR2 and even LR1,4. Didn't work.
    My platform is an old macG5 and Leopard (no timemachine installed)
    Any suggestions??

    I have fixed the problem. After running the maintenance scripts photoshop is printing again.

  • Partial black titles generated in TOC

    Hello
    I have generated a TOC and all is well except for one document (Appendices) which refuses to populate the text.  There is no problem with page numbers etc.
    The paragraph in question has an Autonumber Format of '<$volnum>.<n+>\tAppendix <n+>'.  I am 99% sure this is the problem.
    I'm 100% sure I don't have a fix either.
    Any ideas?

    What is the Reference Page format for the ...TOC paragraph formats?
    If, for test purposes, you TOC a normal heading format from the Appendix, what happens?
    I'm pretty sure it's appendicitis.
    The reference page is:
    If I  TOC a normal heading format from the Appendix, it works fine.  It's just this paragraph tag. In fact, you can see from the frst example, it references the title and page numbers with no problem.
    Can Framemaker get appendicitis?

    That is correct - you must have a photo in every photo frame to order

  • Acrobat CS3 won't print through XServe print server

    Acrobat CS3 won't print through our XServe print server when connected by AppleTalk. Everything else prints fine. You can print the same .pdf with AppleTalk through Preview. And you can print with Acrobat through any other protocol but AppleTalk. The job spools, looks like it's going through but never reaches it's destination. We have 19 printers so it's not a single printer being cranky, and 35 Macs so it's not just a single Mac. All our users are on Active Directory and all are on the same subnet and VLAN.

    Hello Scott,
    If you look at the cups error log on the Xserve, does it give any clues as to why the Acrobat spool file is failing? Hopefully there is some indication as to which process is failing and why.
    We're not using AppleTalk on our Xserve. All printer connections are set via LPR so I cannot offer any advice based on experience.
