How do I add a subtitle to a table of contents?

I was assigned the role of building an Indesign template to possibly replace the MS word one we currently use but I have never touched this software before. With lots of googling I have fumbled my way through it a bit but I can't seem to figure this one out.
If I just add it, it gets removed on update so... I'm at a loss. Is the only option to stick another text box there? I was trying to avoid that.
I come frome a coding background so I'm not shying away from that option if possible.

Not sure what it is you are trying to do here.
A TOC is based on Paragraph styles that you include, and it should be in its own frame, not threaded to other stories. Are you saying, perhaps that you want a heading over the page numbers?
You can add that by inserting a paragraph above the first listing in the generated TOC (once it's placed, you can edit it normally like any other story), but you'll have to do it again each time the TOC is updated. You could also change the "contents" line to read Contents^n^yPage and then do a GREP search in Find/Change to find \^n\^y and change to \n~y and it will add the linebreak and a right indent tab. The ^n^y is not a required code in this case -- you can use anything you like as long as it doesn't appear elsewhere -- and you can use any sort of tab you like after the break, too. If you save the find/change query it will be slightly faster than re-entering manually after a TOC update.

  • How do I add a title to my table of contents in Pages?

    I am attempting to write a research paper using the paragraph styles and headings features.  I have also added a table of contents, which looks great and allows me to jump to each section of the paper.  HOWEVER, I can't seem to be able to title that table of contents page.  All I want it to say is "Table of Contents", which should be simple, right?  I don't want to put it in the header because APA formatting is very particular about how all of this stuff should look, so this title needs to really be in the body of the page.  How do I make this happen?
    Many thanks.

    The TOC is a block of text.
    Get your cursor in front of it by clicking or using your arrow keys, then hit return to make a new paragraph before the TOC and type your Head in that.

  • How do you add a validator on a table?

    Hi,
    I have an ADF table. The user can add or remove elements to this table.
    I want to add a validator on the table, that will be invoked, when I leave the page.
    This validator will check if the user has added at-least one entry in the row.
    I created the validator. I cannot hook it to the "af:table" component. The table component does not provide any kind of validator attribute.
    I tried adding "<af:validator></af:validator>" within the table and it didn't work.
    How do you add a validator on the table?

    Olivier,
    My page fragment that contains the table, is 3/5 train stop out of a train.
    So when I say leave the page, I mean navigate to the next or previous train stop.
    All I want to do is make sure that the user added at-least one row to the table e.g. one contact. This kind of validation does not belong on the entity. That is because that validation will not get fired until the commit point; which in my scenario will be on the 5th train stop i.e. too late.
    As for your other suggestion about adding a button or a link, that is not an option. A button or a link would require explicit user action. What happens if the user doesnot click the link or the button? Then the validation will not be invoked and the user will be allowed to go to the next fragment without adding the contact row.

  • How do I get rid of the extra table of contents that appears following the Pages export to epub?

    When I export my document to epub out of Pages and then open it in ibooks (or any other ereader for that matter)  an extra table of contents with links to the document sections appears at the beginning. This toc has its own numbering system--with its numbers set in front of those I have assigned. This toc is ugly and superfluous and doesn't seem to have anything to do with the table of contents available in the dropdown menu used while actually reading the document. How do I get rid of this extra table of contents? I'm sure I must be missing something obvious, but I can't find a way to remove it. Thanks for any help with this problem.

  • How do you add english subtitles in iMovie '08?

    In iMovie, I want to add english subtitles, however I have no idea how to do it. Can you help me in details? and i in a hurry.......

    Don't think that would work. Since my "system date" is already set at 2007. I have 2 imports, one has the year as 2048, and the other at 2016!! I don't know where they are getting these dates from, but they are not the system date.
    Were the files imported directly from a camcorder or from files already on your hard drive? In the first case the year may have been taken from the time "stamp" recorded when the footage was shot (which may or may not have been correctly set by the user). On the other hand, files imported from the hard drive seem to be keyed to the date the imported file is written to the "Events" folder which, of course, reflects the current system time/date setting. That's why I said you had to then import (re-import) the files from a hard drive source -- i.e., to ensure the DTG would be re-written.

  • How do you add calculation columns to a table Region by using the Footer?

    I have a requirement to add some aggregate metrics at the bottom of my "tableRegion". The "TotalValue" property value for the table is not going to work for me since I the data I'm calculating is more complicated then doing a simple "sum".
    My first try (simple test case) was to use "OATableFooterBean". However, when it tries to find the table bean, it comes back as "null":
    if (empDetails != null) {
    OATableFooterBean tblFooter =(OATableFooterBean) empDetails.getFooter();
    if (tblFooter != null) {
    tblFooter.setAttributeValue("EmployeeName", "Merit Inc Target/Budget");
    I'm guessing it is due to not defining a "footer" region for my "table" region. When I click on the "Table" region, then due "New", I dot see "Region" listed as an option. So my question is how do I add a region "footer" to my "table" region? Once I have that, I'm sure it will solve the "null" exception I'm seeing for trying to get the table footer in the above code.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    For this create a transient attribute in the VO.
    Perform your required logic on this new transient attribute.
    Now create a footer region and create a styledtext and assign this transient attribute.

    Hi,
    How can I add an attribute to a node of a DOM
    Document?
    I want to add attribute Maximum="6" for all Grade node
    as <Grade Maximum="6">.
    Grade is a third level node in my document.
    ThanksGet the father of "Grade" elements as an element. Then get all elements named "Grade", and for each one set attribute "Maximum" with value "6". If you read api documentation you will know which methods to use.
    But for helping you in getting the "Grade" parent.
    1) get the root element of the Dom Doc
    2)get the father of the "Grade" father: getElementsBytagName("his name") -> it will return a Node List get the first element casting as Element if there's only one, or elese if not case
    3)the same method in 2 get the "Grade" father
    4)getElementByTagName("Grade") over the "Grade" father -> for each "grade" element on nodelist do whatever you need
    i hope u understood...

  • How can we print the page numbers for TABLE OF CONTENTS form When its excluded from the form page count ?

    Hi Experts,
    We have TABLE OF CONTENTS followed by 100 forms with totally 215 pages.
    We have checked in the Exclude from form page count option for TABLE OF CONTENTS form in Group level.
    The forms followed by TABLE OF CONTENTS form all are using FORMSETPAGENUM rule in footer.
    the very first form followed by TABLE OF CONTENTS form the page number starts at 1 of 215 and the last form ends at 215 of 215.
    Now i want to print the Page number for TABLE OF CONTENTS form alone.
    How can we do that ?  Any thoughts ?
    Regards,
    RAMAN C

    Hi Raman,
    I guess, you have included 'Exclude Page Count' option in Table Of Content (TOC) form.
    There is a limitation in studio. The page number functions (FORM PAGE NUM OF/ FORMSET PAGE NUM OF) will be ineffective when we select the 'Exclude Page Count' option in TOC form. Hence, you was not able to print the Form Page Count in TOC form.
    The only way to print page count is to deselect 'Exclude Page Count' option. Then you can normally print the TOC Page Count in TOC form. However, thiS TOC page count will add to the Total formset Page Count. The Formset Page Count can be controlled through Postransdal using the script [FORMSET PAGE NUM = TotalPages() - 1]

  • How to copy and paste a multi-page table of contents?

    Hi everyone.
    I have a large document with a Table Of Contents extending over two pages. I'd like to copy the entire TOC then paste it into a new Pages document.
    I have been able to copy the TOC however when I try to paste it into a new blank Word Processing pages document the following Error message appears: "The table of contents is empty because none of the paragraph styles selected in the Document Inspector are used in the document."
    I can paste it into a blank Page Layout pages document however it pastes it into a text box with only one page of the TOC in it.  Even if the new Page Layout document has two pages and I extend the text box over the two pages only one page of the TOC is copied into the new Page Layout document. At the moment the only work-around I can do is to take a screen shot of each individual page of the TOC and paste them individually into a new pages document. I have tried exporting the entire original document to a plain text file however all the formating is lost (obviously).  I have also tried exporting the entire original document to a Word document (.doc) however it won't let me copy the multi-page TOC and paste it into a new Word document. 
    Is there any way to successfully copy a multi-page table of contents to a new Pages document?

    You can try exporting the pages the TOC is on as rtf, text or pdf and transferring that, but I would question the value of a TOC for one document being in an entirely different document, which doesn't have what the TOC is pointing to.
    Have you tried copying the T.O.C. Section from the document Thumbnails and pasting into the document Thumbnails of the 2nd document?
    Peter
    How does one export individual pages from a Pages document?
    I've also tried to copy the TOC section from the document thumbnail however I can't figure out how to select multiple pages in the document thumbnails.  It only allows me to select one at a time. Furthermore, when I do select a single page from the thumbnail section and attempt to drag and drop it into the the thumbnail section of the second document it picks up the whole document and wont allow me to move it from the thumbnail section of the original document.
    Shift click to select multiple pages, and I did say Copy and Paste, not drag and drop.

  • How to keep superscript format when generating a table of contents

    Hi,
    I have a superscript ® in a title in a document that needs to be brought in the Table of contents. When I do generate the TOC, I cannot keep the superscript format in the TOC.
    I could cheat and replace it manually, but there has to be a way it stays with those properties every time I regenerate the TOC.
    Any idea how?
    Regards.

    re: I am trying to find the natively-superscripted Unicode R character and cannot find how to create it.
    There doesn't appear to be one.
    There is one for lowercase r: \u02B3

  • How do I include the heading of the table of contents in the table of contents?

    I am preparing a table of contents in InDesign CS3 (Macintosh OSX 10.5.8)
    I have added all the paragraph styles to the list of paragraph styles I want to appear in my Table of Contents.
    However, I would also like the table of contents itself to appear in the table of contents:
    In case the table of contents is placed on page 3, it want it to look like this
    Table of contents:
    Title page....page 1
    Acknowledgements...page 2
    Table of contents ...page 3
    Table of figure...page 6
    Chapter 1...page 10
    and so on..
    I have included the paragraph style in the list of paragraph styles I want have appearing in my table of contents. But this does not result in an entry in my table of contents that is named 'table of contents'.
    I would be grateful for any kind of advice.
    Thanks in advance

    To do that add a non-printing frame on Page 3 and add the words Table of Contents using one of your styles that gets picked up.

  • How do i add a subtitle file to a supported video file for ipad without converting the video.  (.mp4)??

    I have a downloaded movie in .mp4 format an i success fully added it to itunes.
    But before adding it to my ipad i have an .srt file subtitles which i would like to add it to the movie.
    I want to add it to movie without converting the movie.
    Can i copy the content of the subtitle file to the lyrics tab in get info option to make it work?

    Nevermind. In the iTunes Area I can drag and drop tunes onto the iTunes playlist I made, but NO I can't drag and drop to a synced list in the iPhone area of iTunes. Reason is that it only represents the list I sync to in iTunes.
    I did download a Doug Script where I can add files from one play list to another which is neat. Donated some cash for it.
