Help please in creating a customised ToC in CS4

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a ToC in a long document in CS4 on WinXP.  Though the text is complete, formatting and inserted illutrations are still in flux, so I would like to be able to make it updatable.
I'd like to have each Level 1 item appear with the chapter number, then the title of the chapter, and the page number to the right past a right-justified tab with dot leader.  Level 2 items are indented, without the number to the left, and with the page number over to the right after a dot leader.
I've tried using both the ToC and the cross-reference features to achieve what I'm trying to do.  Each one *almost* gets there, but not quite.  The ToC doesn't seem to give me the chapter numbering to the left;  cross-referencing does (as long as I type it in myself!), but all the cross-references are named the same in the dialogue (for instance, all the cross-refences to the page number of the chapter heading just appear as "#") and I can't find any way to rename them.
Can anyone please suggest a way to make this happen?

I'm not clear on what you want the TOC entries to look like. It would help to understand your request, if you'd post an example of what you expect to see. I'm just guessing below:
If you want a TOC entry to include the chapter number and title, then the paragraph that's extracted to the TOC needs to contain the chapter number and title.
To use the chapter number as a paragraph number, you need to include the Chapter Number token in the paragraph's numbering properties. To retain a paragraph's autonumber in the TOC,  the Numbered Paragraphs item for the paragraph style, in the More Options area of the TOC dialog box, needs to be Include Full Paragraph.
To include the chapter title in the TOC, you need to have the chapter title in a paragraph style that's selected for extraction to the TOC.
If you want only one paragraph that contains the chapter number and chapter title for each chapter in the TOC, followed by the 2nd level items in that chapter, then you need a paragraph style in the chapter that contains the chapter number and title. If you don't want this paragraph to appear in the chapter, only in the TOC, you'll need to hide the paragraph either on a hidden layer, or in a tiny invisible text frame or anchored frame on the document page.
There's no need to use cross-references to accomplish this.

  • Troubleshooting: Help please. Creating a PDF file from a Photoshop-designed project

    I wanted to add personal design elements to my resume so I decided to use Photoshop to add in a logo and a footer. The problem is, when I converted the 3 Photoshop .psd files (3 pages) to .pdf files, the combined file came out to be very big in size. The biggest was 2.88 MB and the smallest that I got it to be without compromising the quality of the text and images was 1.48 MB.
    What did I do wrong?
    I've seen other .pdf files with more images and more color and definitely more pages and text which were only 300KB in size. How can I make my final .pdf file size small but still retain the quality of the original design from Photoshop?
    I've tried merging the layers before saving. I've tried turning the files into .gif files before making the pdf. Into jpegs before making the pdf. Changing the canvas and image sizes in Photoshop into super small which made the final pdf file unreadable and super blurry. I'm at my wit's end.
    Details:
    .psd image size 8.5 by 11 inches (normal resume size)
    colors - black, gray, light blue and light yellow
    Images are very minimal, 4 lines total and around 5 circles at the header of the first page and footer of the 3rd page.
    Help please!
    X-cross-post: Acrobat Forum-X

    This is so sad. I read your comments and I said, "Huh?" Haha!
    I tried the indexed color option and it did make the final file smaller. Around 600KB. But there's probably another way to make it even smaller like the gazillion-paged pdf file that I mentioned that was only about 300KB.
    And by saying a layout program, does that mean like Adobe InDesign? Does that mean that I should just make my graphics in Photoshop and then import using another program and finish the file there?
    What other layout programs can I use?
    Thank you so much!

  • HELP PLEASE urgent: Creating a package, and class that prints all...

    please help, 5 duke dollars up for the best answer, or first answer that solves my problem!
    Hello, I have created a package called molecule that contains classes named Water, Sugar, Carbon Dioxide, and SulfuricAcid, and a sub-package named molecule.atom. The atom sub-package contains classes named Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Sulfur. Each class in the molecule package should re-define the toString() method to print the numbers and types of atoms that constitute the molecule. For example, molecule.Sugar.toString() should return the string:
    "Sugar: 6 Carbon, 12 Hydrogen, 6 Oxygen".
    So basically, I have created a folder in C:\molecule\ and a subfolder C:\molecule\atom\ . I have also created a class called ChemTest belonging to the default package. ChemTest.main() creates and prints instances of each molecule and atom, but does not contain any import statements. The problem is that the ChemTest.java file won't compile coming up with 16 errors!
    Can someone explain to me what I am doing wrong?
    here is one of the molecule classes, for example CarbonDioxide.java:
    package molecule;
    public class CarbonDioxide
         private String co2;
         public CarbonDioxide()
              co2 = "Carbon Dioxide: 1 Carbon, 2 Oxygen";
         public String toString()
              return co2;
    and here is one of the atom classes, for example Carbon.java:
    package molecule.atom;
    public class Carbon
         private String c;
         public Carbon()
              c = "Carbon: symbol = C, num = 6, weight = 12.011";
         public String toString()
              return c;
    now here is the ChemTest.java file that won't compile:
    public class ChemTest
         public static void main(String[]args)
              molecule.Water water = new molecule.Water();
              molecule.Sugar sugar = new molecule.Sugar();
              molecule.CarbonDioxide carbonDioxide = new molecule.CarbonDioxide();
              molecule.SulfuricAcid sulfuricAcid = new molecule.SulfuricAcid();
              molecule.atom.Carbon carbon = new molecule.atom.Carbon();
              molecule.atom.Oxygen oxygen = new molecule.atom.Oxygen();
              molecule.atom.Hydrogen hydrogen = new molecule.atom.Hydrogen();
              molecule.atom.Sulfur sulfur = new molecule.atom.Sulfur();
              System.out.println(water.toString());
              System.out.println(sugar.toString());
              System.out.println(carbonDioxide.toString());
              System.out.println(sulfuricAcid.toString());
              System.out.println();
              System.out.println(carbon.toString());
              System.out.println(oxygen.toString());
              System.out.println(hydrogen.toString());
              System.out.println(sulfur.toString());
    and finally, here are the errors:

    HI,
    I tried your problem with the following directory structure:c:\java\ChemTest.java
    c:\java\molecule\CarbonDioxide.java
    c:\java\molecule\atom\Carbon.javaI set the dos-prompt to c:\java and ran the following commands:javac molecule\CarbonDioxide.java
    javac molecule\atom\Carbon.java
    javac -classpath . ChemTest.java- and it worked!
    Sure, in ChemTest.java I deleted all the lines refering to classes that you didn't post...
    I hope this helps you!

  • MacWord BASIC help, please!  Creating folders (finding the "home folder")

    I am new to Mac, but not to Word.  Where is the "home folder" and how do I create a folder to hold Word documents I've named and saved?  

    Hi there and welcome!
    Conceptually the 'Home' folder is where your stuff (music, pictures, movies, documents, preferences, etc) is kept in the computer. Since OS X on the Mac allows multiple user accounts each user has their own 'Home' folder. When reading documentation shorhand for the Home folder may be expressed by the ~ (tilde) symbol.
    To get to the Home Folder From the Finder or when saving a file, look the left of the Finder window (or the Save As window) for a picture of a house. This is the home folder. Clicking on it will take you to the home folder.
    In the screenshot here my Home folder is named chas (my username on the computer)
    Inside the home folder are logical locations for your stuff. You will see Documents, Music, Pictures, Downloads, and Desktop). These are all great places to save your stuff in. I wold recommend saving your Word files into the Documents folder.
    You can also create your own folders on the computer. When saving a file you will always see a New Folder button in the lower left hand of the save dialog box:
    Clicking this button will allow your to create a new custom folder to help you stay organized.
    Enjoy!

  • Help please with creating IF routines

    Hi,
    I am currently trying to create a grading system for my class at school. I have a few ideas of what I would like to create, and was wondering if anybody could help me a bit.
    What I am trying to do is enter test scores into one spread sheet, and then, if a child scores below 87, his name would automatically go into a chart on a second sheet, so that I could monitor the children I need to pay attention to. We test the children twice a year, and so if his score improves he would be taken off the second sheet of course but I would also like on another sheet a record of each child who has ever been on 'special measures'. Thanks in advance if anyone could help in any way.

    Hi - thanks for your interest. I did not consider this - My initial thought as far as the 'ever' children are concerened was that it would be handy to note that a child at one time had been under 'special measures'. Having said that - it would be even better I suppose if it was possible to note the date and score which caused him to be on that list. But thinking further -how would you handle a child that was continually on that special measures list? Hmmmm. You have given me more to consider!!!
    By the way - my memory isn't that bad - that I would forget this info - it is just that we intend to role this idea out school wide eventually - and that each year in school has their own sheet! So it would be handy for a teacher of a 11 year old could for example not that at one time he was under special measures.

  • Help please - color picker is gone in photoshop cs4

    for some reason, when i saved files as gif, i could not reopen them. i would get some error message. so i read somewhere to shut down photoshop and restart it while holding down the ctrl + alt+ shift keys to reset it to all the defaults.
    i did this but now when i click the foreground or background color squares at the bottom of the toolbar, i get some stupid color window with 48 Basic Color squares and a couple likes of blank squares for Custom Colors.
    no matter what i try resetting, i can no longer get the color picker and i have no way of finding hex colors.
    does anyone know where my color picker window has gone!
    thank you!

    thank you chris.
    that windows vs adobe color picker seems like a very well kept secret.
    even if someone knew EXACTLY what to search for: "change color picker"
    -- only the page you mentioned and one other
    (http://www.photoshopgurus.com/forum/photoshop-troubleshooting/4946-color-picker-change.htm l)
    mentions the Windows vs. Adobe option.
    the other 8 results that come up on page 1 of google for "change color
    picker" make no mention of the Windows color picker option.

  • Help needed to create a CSS 'style-switcher' button.

    Hi,
    I need some help please in creating alternate style sheets for each page on a site I'm creating to enable users to change text size (i.e. small, normal and large options - sometimes, symbolized as a letter 'A' in varying sizes). The site has been built in basic format so far but I would like to add these features for the sake of usability. There are no actual problems with the site as it currently works fine, it's just this one thing I need help with.
    Is this possible using post-processing methods, (which I have no problem doing) and if so could someone kindly point me in the right direction? I've searched the iWeb forum using keywords most relevant to this question and have found nothing.
    Any help greatly appreciated,

    I have been reading the help, but it just wonn't work when I try.
    I have tried as followed (I am working with a danish version, and hope to matched the same word as in the english version of Acrobat Xpro):
    1. From the toolbox i choose content and then 'hyperlink'
    2. I mark the text from which i wish to make a link
    3. Acrobat respond with an popup picture 'create a link'
    4. From the popup I mark 'Open a side' and push 'next'
    5. Acrobat respond with a new popup picture 'create / go to a side'
    6. I go to the navigator and open the list with attached file's that I have embedded in my acrobat file.
    7. I mark the to which i wish to make a link to
    8. In the popup 'create / go to a side' that stilll is open, i push 'Mark hyperlink'
    Then I hoped that I have created a link from the acrobat text to the attached file. In stead Acrobat has made a link to the same sidenumber that respond to the text from which i wish to make a link . F.ex. the linktext is on side 10 - then the link goes to side 10.
    How do i do it right?
    Please help.

    Hello Bernd
    Thanks for a quick respond.
    This corresponds to the text I have tried myself, but apparently I do something wrong
    1.      Open a PDF that contains a PDF file attachment – done
    2.      Go to where you want to create a link. If that location is in the file attachment, click the Attachments button in the navigation pane, select the file attachment, and click open.
    Here I go to side number 10 from which I wish to make a link from (I am not open the attachment file at this moment, as the location not is inside the file attachment).
    (I earlier also tried to  mark the attachment file and click open, and It result that the attached file just opened normally without creating a link to the file).
    3.      Choose Tools > Content > link, and select the area for the link
    Here  I mark the text on side 10 from which I wish to make a link to a attached file
    4.      In the Create Link dialog box, set the link appearance, select Go To A Page View, and then click Next
    Here I have selected ‘Go to a page view’ as told and I click Next
    5.      Set the page number and view magnification you want, either in the parent PDF document or in the file attachment, and then click set link.
    Here I go to the navigation pane and mark the attached file from the file list (the files in the list hasn’t any side number in the list) and then I click Set Link.
    Then I hoped that I have created a link from the acrobat text to the attached file. In stead Acrobat has made a link to the same sidenumber that respond to the text from which i wish to make a link . F.ex. the linktext is on side 10 - then the link goes to side 10.
    What do I do wrong.?
