FrameMaker Table of Contents TOC Help Needed

I am working on a book using Frame Maker 8 and I am trying to generate a table of contents for the first time.
The book has several chapters, and I am able to generate a TOC with the Chapter titles without a problem.
Within the chapters, there are outlines. When I generate the TOC with the Heading1Start and Heading1 (marked with roman numerals in the body text), it works fine too.
But then when I add the Heading2Start and Heading 2 (marked with capital letters A, B, C in the body text), it generates the TOC list with only the headings and page numbers but without the capital letters for the paragraph numbers.
Basically, I'm getting something that looks like this:
Chapter 1 ....... 7
I. Overview ... 13
Introduction 13
when what I need is this:
Chapter 1 ....... 7
I. Overview ... 13
A. Introduction 13
How do I fix this?
I apologize if this is a simple topic of if the answer is elsewhere. I searched for an answer in a few places but did not find one.

have you used the <$paranum> building block on your TOC reference page?
I explain this and other building blocks on p.372 of my book. The <$paranum> functionality is the same in FM11 as in FM8.

  • How to create a table of contents (TOC) linking to specific pages of different (multiple) PDFs

    Hi All,
    I would like to create clickable Table of Contents (TOC) that can lead to a sub clickable TOC that would lead to a specific page of different PDFs within a folder.
    Is that possible?
    Secondly, is is possible to create a search box that upon typing a specific word (not related to text within the PDFs), that word to be linked to a specific page of a particular PDF out of many within a folder?
    To make it more clear, I have a database of specifications of equipment and drawings of a building, all in multiple PDF files. I would like to be able to unify all those PDFs and if I type the room number of the building to be presented with a menu of choces pointing to services assosiated with that room, being elctrical power drawings, lighting drawings or drawings of Air Conditioning and Ducting associated with that room. So I type a room number, then I get a menu of Power, Lights, Fire Alarm, or Ducting all associated with that room, then if I click Fire Alarm to be directed straight to the drawing within a PDF related to that room.
    Thanks

    I would say: Try and Error. Create a copy of your document and unmark in the copied document in the document inspector all boxes for the TOC. Then mark them again. Maybe you should also delete the paragraph styles and mark them again. If that doesn't work, try to copy the complete text of your document to a new created one. Maybe that works.
    Good luck!
    P.S.: If that doesn't work look here. Maybe this helps.

  • Acrobat XI PRO: Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically in top, after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file

    Hey
    I have now tried for hours, but now I give up!
    MY WISH -
    Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file.
    I have already bookmarks, shown on the screen (see screenshot below) but I want those bookmark to be visualised in a separate TOC in the top of the combined files.
    This new TOC (which I have inserted) shall be printable and serve as a cover page in a binder.
    I have seen other cheap pdf.programs in the market (e.g. PDF Converter Professional 7.3) which are able to make the above things, easy, fast and nice.

  • Creating a Table of Content (toc)

    Hi
    I am very new with Output designer, so please dont mind if it is a silly question.
    I have to create a PDF report which has around 15-20 sections. I need a toc (table of content) at first page and at the specified position with page number for each section.
    All the sections has some header and detail subforms, so pagenumber is not known at the begining for each sections. I am using xml file as the data file.
    So can i use JFPREAMBLE to get the page number for different subforms, and write that on to the toc subform,
    i did lot of mind storming but not able to resolve my problem, please help.
    thanks and regards
    nitin

    Hello,
    I was able to create a TOC for a recent customer in the UK.
    Took a lot of work, but it worked.
    You will have to create a TDF to get the data that you require to be on the TOC, but this is quite easy. The best way is to get the TDF to output the result as a seperate file, and then get the orginal data to call the file as the first thing that you do by using the ^file command
    If you would like an example please drop me a line at [email protected]

  • Mail spinning, won't delete, "reading table of contents", etc. help?

    First off, forgive my un-tech-ness.
    I recently went away and before I left I
    set my Mail Prefs to disable "remove
    copy from server" since I would be using
    a different computer and didn't want to
    risk losing any mail. Was able to retrieve my
    mail remotely with no problem. However, when I
    returned home, even though I immediately changed
    the preferences back to remove the copies from the
    server right away, each message left on the server was loaded into my inbox three or four times. Then the fun started - spinning ball, messages like "reading table of contents","copying 48 out of 50" "opening mailbox". I moved the duplicates to the trash and even deleted them from trash,but then I had to force quit so when I opened Mail the
    next time, same problems with hanging up and duplicate
    messages all still there. Oddly (maybe not, I don't know
    enough to know what's odd-) I can receive and send mail with no problem. I have to force quit every time. I tried moving MessageRules.plist to Desktop as suggested in another post, but no luck.
    Thanks for any help anyone out there can offer.

    Not sure, but the mailbox appears to have become corrupt (maybe “overstuffed”, see below).
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a copy of Inbox), try this:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/POP-username@mailserver/.
    3. Locate INBOX.mbox and move it to the Desktop.
    4. Open Mail. A new empty INBOX.mbox will automatically be created within the account folder, and this will allow you to continue using Mail normally while trying to solve the problem.
    Although INBOX.mbox appears to be a file, it’s actually a special kind of folder (a package) that contains several files. Ctrl-click on INBOX.mbox and choose Show Package Contents from the contextual menu to see the files it contains. Of these files, mbox is the most important and is where all your messages are stored. What’s the size of that file? Depending on its size, you may or may not be able to directly import it back into Mail in the next step.
    An Incoming_Mail file may also be present, in which case it might contain messages that Mail couldn’t transfer to mbox. Incoming_Mail is also a standard mbox file like mbox proper, just named differently, and can be imported back into Mail in the same way.
    5. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes and follow the instructions to import the INBOX.mbox that’s on the Desktop. I’m not sure what the import options available in Mail 1.x are, but you should choose Other / Standard mbox or something like that, so that Mail looks at the mbox file only (and Incoming_Mail, if present) and ignores the other files in the package.
    If Mail doesn’t let you select INBOX.mbox in step 5 because it’s a package instead of a plain folder, rename INBOX.mbox to just INBOX (i.e. remove the .mbox suffix) so that it becomes a normal folder, and try again. You cannot do this directly in the Finder because removing a suffix by normal means causes the Finder to hide the suffix instead of renaming the file. To remove the suffix from the name, you must do File > Get Info (⌘I) on the file and change the name there.
    Do with the imported mail whatever you wish. You may move the messages anywhere you want and get rid of the imported mailboxes afterwards, but take a look at the following article first:
    Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty
    If all is well and you don’t miss anything, the files on the Desktop can be deleted, although you may want to keep them for a while, just in case.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder (i.e. /Users/username). Hence, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder (i.e. /Users/username/Library).

  • Expandable list - Table of Contents -  Please Help

    I used the code found on the following page to create an expandable list that worked great:        Expandable list :  at www.learningmovabletype.com
    I created a table of contents for our Policies and Procedures that showed the main topics and when clicked listed each policy subcategory.  The following link is for this page:http://bsacapheadstart.com/PoliciesandProcedures.html
    My company bought the Adobe CS4 package that included Dreamweaver several months ago and I am trying to create this same page using it.                          http://grantee.bsacapheadstart.com/Policies%20and%20Procedures.htm
    The problem as you will notice if you go to this page and click on the categories, is that only the first topic will expand and all the others will not.
    I have reviewed the code several times and do not see any differences between the first topic heading and the others; nor between the code that works on the first page and the page I am creating using Dreamweaver.
    I have thought about using the Spry Collapsible Panel or Accordian but it is not exactly what we want.  Besides everyone is already comfortable with this layout.
    If anyone could please help, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Start with valid code.  It makes trouble shooting much simpler.

    Would you please let me know how the datatype has to look like?

    > would you please tell me the complete FCC config not only the fieldSeparation line?
    Well Christian,
    There is one thing, eithere you can use fieldSeparator or fieldFixedLengths you can not use both together. So in your case do not use fieldSeparator.
    The complete FCC is almost same as given in the blog in my previous reply. See the final output in that blog and create your data type accordingly. e.g.
    Recordset
    ------Item 0...unbound
    --------Field1 0..1
    --------Field2 0..1
    --------Field3 0..1
    --------Field8 0..1

  • Formatting (Italic) missing in contents - Urgent help needed!

    Hello!
    I am about to finish my thesis and was really happy how easy it was to create a content with pages.
    BUT I realised that the formatting of book-titles (in my case: words in Italic) were not transfered to the contents although they are Italic in the headlines of the text... It really frustrates me because you cannot mark the words in the contents and change them manually...
    I am writing my thesis in literature studies and it is essential to clarify book-titles in Italic.
    Would be great to get some help! Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your quick response, Peter. But I think you misunderstood me. Guess my English is to bad to explain this uncommon inquiry. Unfortunately I am working with the German version of pages so the vocabulary is quite difficult for me to translate. I will try it again:
    I have titles and subtitles in my text. I assign the titles with "Styles" to create an index of contents - which worked perfectly. BUT I am using Italic (for some words) in the titles/subtitles of the text. When Pages transfers these titles/subtitles automatically into the index of contents the italic font disappears. But I want/need them there as well.
    Did I make myself clear now?!
    (I am using Times New Roman which has Italic - it is not a problem of the Font. It is the automatism of Pages for creating an index of content loosing the formatting of the Font.)

  • SAP MDM Joining tables in console? Help needed.

    Hi,
    I am placed in SAP MDM Project.
    Currently, we have an unique requirement.
    We, have to join two tables of SAP MDM Console in an unique field
    named(House No and PO Code).
    Actually, we have a main table named Business Partner and a Flat table
    named Address.
    Now, we have a field named House No and PO Code(Business Partner) which I have made as unique.
    Also, the Field named House No and PO Code(Address) is unique.
    Now, my colleague suggested if we can make remote key mapping at the time of import
    it will automatically populate the address data for each individual.
    But it is not true. Remote Key mapping is a different concept.
    If Remote key is mapped with any field of the Main table.
    It will show remote key mapping for that field with a remote system.
    When data is syndicated back after modification same data is reflected in that remote system.
    Only thing that we can do is that make House No and PO Code (Business Partner) as Lookup(Flat) field and it is mapped with the Flat table Address.
    Now, the SAP MDM Data Operator needs to select the address manually from say 10,000 address records for a person George Smith in main table(Business Partner).
    No other way round.
    Please suggest if there is any other way.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Matching Chapter Numbering in Table of Contents (TOC)

    I have applied the <$chapnum> and <n+> building blocks to the paragraph styles used in my TOC, but instead of displaying the correct chapter numbers, every chapter section starts with "1".
    Could someone please tell me what I need to do in order to match the TOC numbering with the book numbering?
    Thanks in advance,

    Douglas,
    I assume that the chapter numbering works correct through all the chapters, and only the TOC numbering is wrong. Correct?
    In this case you shouldn't have an own (independent) numbering definition in your TOC paragraph styles, but READ the original numbering from the respective paragraphs/chapters. You do this by adding the <$paranum> variable to the TOC reference page, so the entry/entries there should read equal or similar to:
    <$paranum> (Tab) <$paratext> (Tab) <$pagenum>
    Define the tabulators for the TOC paragraph styles as if there was a numbering definition, and the number read from the chapters will appear correctly formatted in the TOC.

  • Browser cuts off half of table and contents? Help please.

    Hi,
    When viewing the page using some versions of IE7, the area
    where the Virtual tour viewer is and anything within the same table
    is cut in half ! I never even noticed it as I test on a laptop and
    desktop, both running IE7 and Firefox and there were no problems.
    Got 3 emails of totally different people asking where the other
    half of the page is, plus a friends browser does it also.
    The link is
    http://www.cicadastudio.ca/newyork.html
    The virtual tour viewer in the iframe, thumbnails and links
    are in the first big table. This gets cut in half approx after the
    text for each thumbnail so anything to the right is just white. No
    flash/quicktime logos and only half the viewer shows. It still
    works though loading the default panorama!
    The big table below holding regular still images with the
    black background displays correctly. Very strange.
    Does any one else only see half the table or know what may be
    causing it to happen? The most obvious thing would be the iframe
    but this has happed with some of the other pages also and they have
    no iframes on them.
    Thanks

     I see and It only prints half the photo? Interesting...
    What i would suggest doing is this,
    - go to the page/photo on face book where you are trying to print/save from
    - right click on the Photo and ""Save As"", now i would recommend saving them in the " My Pictures" from within the "My Documents" folder
    -Once saved, go ahead and open them up (Pictures)  from within the Folder and not the website, unfortunately, it sounds like the web site is not allowing the full command/picture to be sent through, but being a 3rd party Site We cannot be sure..
    -that is what i would advised to get those to Print Fully and to your Expectations

  • How to eliminate random periods in some Table of Contents TOC listings?

    Pages '09 ver.4.1
    Has anyone had this problem and found a solution?
    Thank you!

    The original document was an imported simple(!) Word file without any TOC . . .
    I created a guest user account on my computer and started from the beginning with a new document in Pages. The problem did not show up. TOC looked as expected.
    Logging back in to my regular user account on my computer I created two new Pages docs and TOC's also looked fine.
    I created a new Pages doc and attempted to copy/paste body text and objects from my original doc imported from Word and the TOC period problem came back.
    Seems to be a strong suggestion here of a connection with Word corruption.
    I will now begin to hand type the text into a new Pages doc . . . it's only 5000+ words or so . . . I'm tempted to say wryly, "thank YOU, Microsoft", but not being 100% sure of that, I'll just be quiet and continue typing . . .

Maybe you are looking for
