How do I create a Table of Contents page for ePub that link?

I am new to E-Publishing, I have been able to my overall book but cannot figure out the Table of Contents. I need them to link to the chapter page. I have created a table of contents and they dont link. I tried to create hyperlink within the document but they only work in the pdf version and not the ePub. What can i do so that they link in the ePub version as well ?
I dont know if this information would be helpful but I also wanted to mention that All the chapter names are set to the same style, and that the Table of content I have created so far was made through the TOC option in InDesign. Also the layout is fixed and I am using InDesign CC 2014

Make sure the TOC is in the style source document
Thank you so much! This was the thing I did wrong. There had been another document marked for style source. Now it works perfectly.

How do I create a Table of Contents in InDesign CS6 for print that easily converts to epub?

How do I create a Table of Contents in InDesign CS6 for a print book that easily converts to epub?
Can anyone point me to a link for a step-by-step (not a video) on setting up all the elements of a print book properly (pages, table of contents and index) so they will convert and reflow perfectly from print to epub in InDesign CS6. This is not about building an ebook from ground up, but taking 50 backlisted print books (converted from old versions of Quark to InDesign) that now need to be converted to epub formats.
OR could someone point me to the link in the Adobe InDesign CS6 support that explains how to create a Table of Contents for a print book (5.5" x 8.5", 288 pages), one that will convert when the file is converted to ePub (for MAC OSX)?
Just downloaded the 706 page inDesign CS6 reference manual from Adobe <http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf> but there's not even a search feature on the pdf file.
Up until this week, we have only done print books, creating the TOC the old fashioned way, as a fixed page, comprised of two columns: page numbers and chapters/subject. The files I have created are taken by our printer and printed beautifully.
However, when I convert the same book to epub in CS6, the character and paragraph styles converted beautifully - but everything else is all over the place! The table of contents is on different pages, the columns split apart. That goes for the page contents as well - everything is all over the place. when it's converted to a pdf -- total perfection. Never any problems converting with perfection to pdf format and reading those on the various readers.
(Thank you so much in advance for any help).

<http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf> Adobe Digital Reader does have a search feature for reading pdfs. Found the TOC instructions on page 176 of 706 pages.

Hi Brent!613,

How do create a table of contents page from a series of bookmarks?

I am compiling bundles of documents for printing, starting from single PDFs. I combine them using Acrobat Pro X for Mac which gives me a single PDF, with a series of bookmarks for each document. I then insert page numbers.
What I need is a way of creating a table of contents for printing (as opposed to a "digial T.O.C" - ie the bookmarks list). Ideally, I would need a script that would copy the list of bookmarks and the page numbers for each and dump them to a new page in the PDF bundle (or a text file).
That way I can print the PDF with a Table of Contents at the front.
There was an entry on the Acobrat for Legal Professionals blog a while back (http://blogs.adobe.com/acrolaw/2009/12/list_bookmarks_with_a_free_scrip/) - as far as I can tell that hint only works for Acrobat 9.
Any help gratefully received

Rick Borstein created an Action in Acrobat X Pro., that allows you to create a Bookmark Report. You might see if that does the trick.

Creating a table of contents page using combined documents

Adobe Version 7.0
When combining multiple documents as one .pdf document, can a table of contents page be set up simultaneously? If so, can page numbers be added?
We have several type of documents (.xls, doc, pdf) that we combine on a regular basis to create one document to view on line and/or print in a book format. We manually type a Table of Contents page to correspond with those documents and manually insert page numbers. Is there a better way?

I would suggest you create the base document in WORD and then print all to a new PDF. That may provide the functionality you want with an automatic table of contents creation.

How do I create a table of contents in Pages 5.2?

I am working on my thesis for graduate school and have the whole document created (I am about to defend it). I made a table of contents myself (dumb idea) but my advisor wants it perfectly alligned, which it currently is not. I've been looking for tutorials online, but only find some pertaining to Pages '09- I am currently using an updated version, Pages for Mac 5.2.
I am really struggling here and would love some help of quidence on how to successfully create a decent table of contents! Thank you!
-S

Hope this isn't too late but here's some pretty decent info that might help you resolve your problem. Good luck defending your thesis! FYI...I'm currently in the same boat.

How do I create a table of content in a Pages Template (lay-out) document?

Dear all,
I recently started designing a brochure in Pages, using a lay-out document. The document counts over 100 pages. Now I need to make a table of contents and I just don´t get how to do this...
Any help is more then welcome!
With warm regards,
Nina

That sounds more like a book than a "brochure".
You can not make a TOC in Layout mode. The TOC only scans the styled text in the default text area (between the margins) of Word Processing documents and ignores everything else.

Can anyone tell me how I can create a Table Of Contents, in Pages?

I'm wanting to create and evolve a document in my iPad, but really need a Table Of Contents.
I've installed Pages, but can't figure out a table of contents.
I'm happy to hear suggestions of other apps that may do it too.
Thanks :)

Thanks anyway mvimp, was good of you to reply & try to help me.
Unfortunately, I think you're right JimHdk - I can't find TOC in the iPad version of Pages.
So does anyone know an app that will let me prepare a document (like an ebook I guess) that has a TOC?

How do I create a table of contents with a nested style paragraph?

I'm having difficulty figuring out how to generate my Table of Contents with a nested style. In this screen shot, "SPECIAL EVENTS" is considered level one and the pink circled "Fittest Firm Challenge" is level 2. Because it is a nested style, it is picking up the entire paragraph. I don't want to put in a paragraph break because that would add too much space in the magazine since there are a lot of other listings like this. I've tried reading through other people's discussions but I'm totally lost with the explanations. Is there a simple workaround or solution to this?

You're asking InDesign to do something it's not designed to do, namely, to treat a nested-style section of a paragraph as an independent paragraph. That's called a "run-in paragraph" in Adobe FrameMaker, and it's been a beloved feature there since FrameMaker was introduced in '89, about ten years before InDesign.
You can make a formal feature enhancement request here: Wishform Many InDesign features have come into being from user requests, so lend your voice, and be patient. Explain why you think a run-in paragraph feature would be useful.
Others have asked about this, and there are a number of workarounds that may or may not be suitable for you. Let's hope that some of the more-intense forum folks can help you with a useful search term for this forum, so that you can review what's been suggested and tried in the past, and what results you can expect.
In the meantime, you might consider inserting the second-level heading in an inline anchored text frame in the paragraph. It will be an independent paragraph but you can adjust appear on the same line as following paragraph. Then you can extract it for the TOC.
Here's an example:

How do i create a table of contents?

I need clear, step-by-step directions. The help section is not well-written, and the video tutorial was useless for me. My project is a recipe booklet with about seven section headings, each with about five recipes. None of the Apple people, not on the phone nor in the store, have been able to help me. The best the tech at the store came up with was a TOC listing ingredients or random words (within some of the recipes) with page numbers.

1. The text you want to index must be in the main text area (between the margins) of a Word Processing document. It can not be in floating text boxes, Layout documents have only floating text boxes so can not be indexed.
2. You must apply named Styles to the text you want to index, from the Styles Drawer:
Menu > View > Show Styles Drawer
You can make your own, they don't have to be Apple's ready named styles.
3. Click in the front of the document before the text you want to index:
Menu > Insert > Table of Contents
4. Select from the list of styles in Inspector > Document > TOC that you want indexed

Table of Contents Issue for ePub

I am trying to create a TOC for an ePub that looks like I want it to:
Chapter One: The Name of Chapter One
Chapter Two: The Name of Chapter Two
etc.
To do this:
I imported the ePub styles from the ePub sample document
On a page which begins a chapter I typed "Chapter X" and gave it the Chapter Number style
Under that I put the name of the chapter and gave it the Chapters style
I selected both the Chapter Number and Chapters styles in the TOC tab of the Inspector
The resulting TOC in the ePub document looks like this:
Chapter One
Name of Chapter One
Chapter Two
Name of Chapter Two
If I DEselect the Chapter Number style in the inspector the entire TOC gets messed up
How can I get the TOC to look like I want (see above).
Thanks.

Make sure the TOC is in the style source document
Thank you so much! This was the thing I did wrong. There had been another document marked for style source. Now it works perfectly.

How can I create a one image per page caption sheet that includes the description in Bridge?

I am trying to find a way to create a one-image-per-page caption sheet for my workflow. I currently place each image into Word and copy the description onto the document, then repeat for each image. I am hoping that there is a way to automate this process using Bridge. I know that it can be done using Lightroom, however, that is not currently an option for me. Is this something that can be done or am I bound, like Sisyphus to Microsoft Word? I have a very limited grasp of scripting, but I feel like this is possible.
Thanks for any help.

To create a NetBoot image, you could just put the cluster node in target mode and attach it to your PowerBook. Then use SIU to create the NetBoot image.
If you're trying to create a backup image of the disk, use hdiutil, or put in in target mode and create the image with Disk Utility.

How do I create a password protected entrance page for a muse site?

I have created a site in Muse and the client wants it to be password protected for now....the usual Javascript entered between the head and body tags is not working. Any ideas??

PASSWORD PROTECTING A PAGE WITH A NICE BOX DESIGNED INTO YOUR PAGE
FINALLY, I'VE FOUND AN ANSWER TO PASSWORDING A PAGE OR SECTION WITH ADOBE MUSE WITH GREAT SIMPLICITY AND ALLOWING YOU TO 'DESIGN' THE PASSWORD BOX INTO YOUR PAGE!!!
Even better is that you don't HAVE to have username AND password (although you could if you wanted to), so just a simple PASSWORD box and enter button DESIGNED BY YOU WITHIN YOUR PAGE, rather than nasty popups etc. Importantly, the password itself is NOT within the source code of your page either!!
The solution is at Jotform.com. I believe you can do this with a FREE ACCOUNT, although it's SUCH a great service for Musers that I paid for a proper account.
Before you do this, create a page on your site saying "Wrong Password. Please go away" or something to that effect. You'll need it for when they enter the wrong password.
So, in Jotform, you just create a new form and:
1. Drag on a password box (it's in the power tools section)
2. Select it and go to Conditions
3. Go to Change Thank You URL after submission
4. Enter: If [name of your password box] field EQUALS TO [enter your password]
5. In the "Then redirect to" box, enter the URL of your protected page and click save
6. In the resulting box click "ADD A NEW CONDITION" and do the SAME as stets 3 to 5 but this time say NOT EQUALS TO" with your same password and in the "Then redirect to" box, enter the URL of your WRONG PASSWORD page and click save
7. Embed the button on your page and you're done!!!
If you want to mess about with the EXACT alignment of a right aligned button and text box, you can go to Preferences and in the box which allows you to add your own custom CSS, enter the following code and mess about with the values until it's perfect for you:
.form-buttons-wrapper { padding-top:3px !important; }#id_2 {margin-left: -50px !important;}
Here's an example, built in Muse: www.hileytv.com/about.html
I hope this helps my fellow Musers!

How can I create a line break in pages for iPad?

On the Mac you can hold the shift key while pressing the return key to creat a line break. Only pressing the return key will creat a new paragraph of course.
On the iPad you only can creat paragraphs. Pressing the shif key does not change that.
Does anybody know how to force a linebrek on the pages app for iPad?

Tap and hold where you wish to insert the line break. Select Insert from the pop up menu, then Line break.
