How would I set up this table of Contents?

I want a TOC that looks like this:
Chapter title.......................................author's name......................................page number
Is this possible? I have always done it manually.
Thanks
Ian

I can give you something that will be a little less manual, although not completely automated. It might seem like a lot of work, but it only takes a bit of time in the setup, and after that, it's all copying and pasting. Have a look at this screenshot:
I put in some placeholder text, created a headline style, and another style (the 6pt magenta text) called For TOC. I put in the title and author placeholders, separated by a tab and set the width of the text frame to something just below the width of the text frame that holds the body text, and I collapsed the height to fit the text. I set the placeholder text frame to non-printing with Window>Output>Attributes, copied the frame, and pasted it just after the headline paragraph (with a space between the headline and the now-anchored placeholder frame).
I then set the inline object to a custom position so that no matter where the headline was on the page, the anchored frame would be at the top of the page away from the spine. And, because the inline frame is set to non-printing, it won't show up on printouts or when exported to PDF. Once that's all set up, just copy the anchor and the space (you can use the story editor to make sure you are selecting just those two things) and paste them next to any headlines (or titles, in your case). You then copy the titles from the main text and paste them over the Title in the placeholder (I used Edit>Paste Without Formatting so that the style of the headline would change to the style of the placeholder). You would also type in the name of the author when you are entering the title into the placeholder.
In the table of contents, you would select the For TOC style, instead of the headline style for inclusion into the TOC. Make a paragraph style for the actual TOC, and set the tab stops there, and you will have:
Title..............Author................Page #
The placeholder will travel with the title, so as long as you remember to update any text in the placeholder if you choose to update the titles, you should be good to go.

  • How would you set up this network?

    ingredients: Mac Pro, Macbook Pro, Apple TV, 1 G airport express, 1 N airport express, Airport Extreme Bass Station, 1 medium sized 1 floor apartment.
    the current problem is that the network runs perfectly except for my main computer - the Mac Pro (1 year old) which always disconnects and gives me constant problems. would be nice for everything to work well so i can finally play music throughout the place.
    wireless N? G? mixed? extend the wireless signal? interference robustness? and most importantly - how can i choose a channel that i know the neighbours aren't on?
    any help appreciated! this has been driving me mad for 6 months now

    thanks for the help! by going N I lose 1 airport express but it's worth it if it will fix things.
    Like many people on here i have changed settings 9000 times to try and get the airport expresses from dropping out when streaming to them.
    The main problem is the airport card in this Mac Pro - I think it is a bad one.
    Running a cable would fix things probably although I dont really want cables running through the apartment, I think I will do this to avoid any further headaches.
    Thanks for the input! Maybe in 1 week I will be able to buy a new Mac Pro with a new Airport card - depends on the expo!

  • How would you order an internal table e.g. itab according a specific field

    Hello
    How would you order an internal table e.g. itab according a specific field?
    Would you be so kind and let me see an mini example
    Thank you in advance

    Hi Tina,
    You can sort the table as already mentioned, or if you want it always kept in a key sequence you could define it as a sorted table something like this:
    types:
    begin of itabline,
    field1  type c,
    field2  type n,
    field3  ....
    end of itabline.
    DATA itab TYPE sorted table of itabline WITH UNIQUE key field1.
    You can then insert and read entries by the key fields.
    Hope that helps as an option!

  • Can anyone offer some advice i am looking to upgrade the OS system on one of my macbook pro's, currently running os10.4.11, I would like to upgrade to OS10.5? how would I go about this, and is there a cost, for what is an old operating system now?

    Since your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.
    System requirements are found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575

    Since I starting using my MacMini (2011 version) I have not been able to print double sided from my HP Photosmart plus - there is no option for this in the Printer dialog box as there was in the similar dialog box on my PC. How do I set up this option?

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • I have CS3 for Windows but want to switch to Mac, how would I go about this?

    I have CS3 Design Premium for Windows on an old laptop but want to switch it to my new Mac, how would I go about this?
    Do I have to pay for an upgrade to CS6, then somehow switch the license then download to my Mac? Also, I'm a student so it would be a student priced upgrade.

    You can either upgrade or move to Creative Cloud. But since you’re a student an upgrade does not exist so just pick the student version you want and go with that.

  • How to get chapter numbering in table of contents?

    In a document I create, I use numbering for chapter titles, paragraphs and so on. They do appear in the table of contents, for each level I indicate, but in this table of contents, the numbering is not reflected. Only the first chapter has a number in front of it, all others don't.

    I have the same problem in Pages 5.0. Just posted about that here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5755623?tstart=0
    I am not sure about 4.0, I thought I never had any problem with it but I might have added it manual. With that stats fruhulda probably knows best.
    Anyway isnt it strange that a wordeditor can't show automaticly added numbers for chapters?

    I have two classes each posted here:

    public class PanamaFrame extends JFrame
    {   PanamaFrame()

    I'm new to all this graphica stuff as of this
    week.... so I dont' really know what you mean by
    that? CAn you explain? I need to set the two stars
    to different colors... Is there something that I can
    do? Or will it require much change in the code?You're already using g.setColor(Color.red) to change the color it's painted in. So, make that a private member of your class called starColor and then change that line of code to g.setColor(starColor). Then add a constructor that accepts a Color for an argument and when you create it pass it the Color you want it to be.

  • RSECLOG - how do i delete/truncate this table???

    Hello BW people,
    we turned on auth analysis 6 or 7 months ago and now we have a 260 gb table and i am trying to delete the logs manually thru RSECPROT but it is taking forever to delete one log (approx 30 mins).
    is there either a program in sap or a manual way of deleteing or truncating this table?
    any help would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks Jorge,
    this has worked perfectly.
    I thought there might be a sap program to do this, but this worked.
    thx,

  • How would I re-create this effect? (physical paper cutouts made to look animated)

    Here is a video of the effect I am trying to replicate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGvNHFRIO08
    They use physical paper cut-outs (you can see the shadows and outlines in a few frames) but it almost seems animated -- the first time I watched it I thought they were green-screening the background.
    How would I get rid of the outlines around the cut out pieces of paper? I'm guessing it would involve increasing the contrast of the background dramatically, but not the hands?
    Just looking for ideas on how to get started. Thanks!

    Shooternz, you know what this is like to me? Lets say we both have guitars and you play some eric clapton thing I love..and I watch what you do and hear it, and love it, and for the LIFE OF ME can't DO IT MYSELF !!!!  So I am hanging out with you ( friend ) and you show me and even go " SLOWER" with left hand to show me what you're doing with fingers on frets, etc...and I little by little follow you along and litte by little get better and better at mimicking what you are doing...but also get into it re: my timing etc...
    I WOULD BE LAUGHING during this whole thing...
    1) cause I love the product and wanna make it
    2) cause I know you're helping me
    3) cause I know I'm an idiot trying to learn something new ...
    4) cause I love those who are willing to teach
    5) cause they love laughter too...
    Anyway, that's how I approach most everything I'm sharing with people...
    unless I get ugly ...I'm working on that aspect
