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!

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!

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

How best to include a copyright in JavaDoc?

Hello.
I am wondering how best to include a copyright notice, standard legal boilerplate, etc. in JavaDocs.
I realize that many developers include the text directly in a JavaDoc comment (perhaps using a template in their IDE for generating that automatically), but that seems less than ideal to me. Having a long boilerplate takes up a lot of unnecessary space in source files; with several hundred or thousand source files, that can be a big waste. Also, if the notice needs to be changed or updated, than going back to find and edit every instance of the notice can be challenging, even with a global search and replace. What I would like is basically the equivalent of an "include" tag that will include a single copyright notice wherever it appears, but JavaDoc does not appear to have a suitable feature.
The initial approach I have taken is to define a custom taglet with this ability. I am also playing with a custom annotation for noting copyrighted code as an additional reference to the copyright notice. The basic structure I have so far looks like this, in org.sample.legal:
- Copyright.java (interface defining a few constants such as default copyright date, default owner, etc. as well as the full default copyright notice)
- CopyrightAnnotation.java (annotation type for marking code as copyrighted)
- CopyrightTaglet.java (taglet for adding "@copyright" tags in JavaDoc)
Here's what the top of CopyrightTaglet looks like, to give a better sense of what it can handle:
package org.sample.legal;
import com.sun.tools.doclets.Taglet;
import com.sun.javadoc.*;
import java.util.Map;
* Represents the "@Copyright" tag. If empty, the default copyright notice
* will be displayed.
* This tag can be used in any overview, package, class, or interface
* {@link com.sun.javadoc.Doc}. This is not an inline tag.
* The tag can display a default value, the default value modified with
* a different copyright date, or a completely custom value. To display the
* default value, use "@Copyright" alone.
* To specify a different date, enter the copyright years separated by
* dashes (-) or commas (,); optional spaces are allowed. For example, the
* following will be recognized as valid dates:
* <ol>
* <li>"@Copyright 1999"</li>
* <li>"@Copyright 1999, 2000"</li>
* <li>"@Copyright 2001-2003</li>
* <li>"@Copyright 2001-3, 2005</li>
* </ol>
* To display a completely custom value, simply enter whatever text is to be
* displayed after the "@Copyright" tag.
* The text is displayed in italics to remind the reader of its
* importance.
* @Copyright
@CopyrightAnnotation
public class CopyrightTaglet
implements Copyright, Taglet {
private static final String NAME = "Copyright";
private static final String HEADER = "Copyright:";The "@Copyright" tag by itself produces output (based on the constants in the Copyright interface) like this:
Copyright:
Copyright © 2008 by Sample Organization. All rights reserved.
I have this all working fine, but my main question concerns whether this is a reasonable approach. Is there a better approach to this problem of making a single copy of the copyright text available everywhere? What other approaches are common?
Thanks for any advice.

Your approach lets you choose which classes, interfaces and members are copyrighted, or apply different copyrights for different parts of the source code. But in many cases (such as the Java API), the entire published API gets the same copyright notice. So we put the notice in the footer of each page:

How to Auto Update non-TOC Page Numbers within a document (ie, 550pp)

Friends. Within a large Pages document that is dynamically changing, along with the total number of pages, the TOC (ie, Table of Contents) can be easily updated.
However, I want to point to specific content, and therefore the correct page number for the content, within the document and have that pointer (ie, a page number) *update automatically as the page numbers change*.
I need to repeat this about two dozen times for different references to make a 550 page document more reader-friendly by making it easier for readers to find the exact source or reference elsewhere in a document.
How do I do that within Pages '08 ?

Hello
I'm not aware of such a feature.
If the document is designed to be read on a computer, you may use links.
Clicking on a link will bring you to the linked area.

[Pages] Indent sub-headings table of contents

Hey.
In Pages I'd like to indent my sub-heading in my table of contents.
I've searched the complete internet but cant find what I'm looking for. In Microsoft Office Word this is very easy.
I'll try to explain what I want to do.
Currently in Pages I have my table of content like this:
Heading Name.......................1
Heading Name.......................3
Sub-Heading Name................3
Sub-Heading Name................4
Heading Name.......................6
Sub-Heading Name................3
Sub-Sub Heading Name..........4
But what I'd like is this:
Heading Name.......................1
Heading Name.......................3
     Sub-Heading Name...........3
     Sub-Heading Name...........4
Heading Name.......................6
     Sub-Heading Name...........3
          Sub-Sub Heading Nam.4
Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this?
Thank you in advance.

Click on the subheads in the T.O.C. and drag in the left indent on the Ruler.

You have to call the include method of the RequestDispatcher

out.println(" welcome");
getRequestDispachter("/myJSPDir/my.jsp").include(request, response);
}

How do i get free keynote, pages, numbers for my Macbook Pro 15inch?

Hi i would like to check whether i am able to get any free keynote, pages, numbers on my Macbook Pro 15inch. I bought my macbook on 25th Nov 12. My version is updated to OS X Maverick.

For software discs, there are two cases:
a) came with 10.6. In this case order the replacement DVD from Apple.
b) came with 10.7. In this case there may be no replacement discs. Start up with Command-R and install 10.7 from the Internet.
This varies slightly depending on EXACTLY which model you have.

How (best) to include links in a template?

I'm creating a ~55 page site, where most of the structure of
the site (3 nav bars, etc.) will be similar throughout. I know the
client will change the order and names of the links, as well where
they point. Yet they want to have it mostly created first.
I thought working from a template would be the best, but I
would then be unable to disable the link of the current page, say,
the "home" button when I'm already on the home page etc. Can anyone
advise a work-flow that would allow me to just edit something once
and propagate it throughout when I need to, yet not when I don't?
Thank you so much!
Nick

Take a look at my divaGPS for this. With divaGPS added to
your template,
you can freely change the menus, their links, whatever you
want, and
divaGPS will still highlight AND disable the link on the the
current
menu item automatically when the page is viewed in the
browser.
fyi divaGPSfree might be adequate for you except for the fact
that it
will not disable the current menu item's link, which is a
feature you
requested. Some people feel it is okay merely to force the
cursor (via
css) back to the default pointer. If you agree, then
divaGPSfree might
be adequate. However, if you prefer to truly disable the
current link,
then divaGPS is what you'd need.
Either work perfectly in Templates or their Children with now
special
steps needed.

How to get the print the page numbers in a report based on another report

Hi
I have a requirement in which i need to print the page number based on another report
example my request set has 3 reports
1 report prints 1- 100 pages
2 report page number should start from 101 - 110
3 report 111-
Can anyone please let me how to achieve this?
Thx in advance
Kumar

Hi,
You can create all the three report queries in one report creating separate query in the data model and then create the layout in proper sequence as required.
If you want to use separate reports only you might try the following:
In the first report use the after-report trigger and save the total no of pages in a table as a record.
In the second report fetch the value stored in the table and add it to the Page No. to obtain the Page No for second report.
Also in the second report use the after-report trigger and update the record created in first record to total no of pages + total no of pages of the first report.
In the third report fetch the value stored in the table and add it to the Page No. to obtain the Page No for third report.
Do remember to delete the record created in the table after-report trigger of the third report.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards
Arif Khadas
