I cannot separate my table of contents by section

I have been trying to create a table of contents in pages. When I add a new section its supposed to separate the sections out in the table of contents. I should be able to click on each section separately but when I do it will highlight them all. Am I putting a new section in wrong were it is linking the chapters together?

As far as I know, it should be there always unless the menus themselves have been turned off by someone. Might as well check though.
1) GO to Edit > Menus (opens Menu Customization)
2) Select Application Menus from the Category field
3) Expand "Layout" under Application Menu Command and make sure the Visibility icon is active for the TOC items (at bottom)
edit: Of course you could also go to Window > Workspace and select reset menus

I cannot generate a table of contents in INDesign3

Hi There:
I'm fairly new to Indesign CS3 and I need to generate a table of contents. I created a book file which consists of 20 chapters. I also created a Frontmatter file, which is also part of the book file. According to the help menu, I should open up the FM file and choose, LAYOUT>TABLE OF CONTENTS to begin. However this option under layout doesn't exist. Is there a plug-in I am missing. HELP! I need to generate this TOC at some point today.
thanks much to whomever can help.

Table of Contents and Section Numbering ??s

Hi, we are using CS6 and have a couple questions about trying to use automated section numbering and table of contents in a single document. We don’t do this often (actually, never used auto-TOC before), so I just want to see if I’m missing something obvious.
SECTION NUMBERING WITH SECTION INTRO PAGES
Our document (a style guide) is divided into sections. Each section begins with a section intro title page, which is basically just a blank page with the new section’s title nicely styled. We are setting up our sections as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. And we would REALLY prefer for the page numbering to be ’1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.’, where X.0 is the section intro page.
1) I can add the sections OK with a prefix of 1., 2., etc. But InDesign does not allow me to start the section numbering at ’0′, it must be ’1′. So my intro pages HAVE to be 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, etc. instead of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 etc. Any creative workaround to solve this??? We really don’t want the intro pages to be X.1, as they have no content and we want the X.1 page to be the first with content on it, NOT X.2. How do people generally handle a section intro page?
AUTO PAGE NUMBERS AND TOC
We are trying to use the automated Table of Content feature and running into an odd issue. We have page titles on top of each page in a unique paragraph style (H1). We are adding the page number at the beginning of this paragraph using ‘Type > Marker > Current Page Number’ and a unique character style. It’s working fine on the pages, showing the appropriate section numbering we setup for the document (e.g., 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, etc.).
But when we make the table of contents, the ‘page numbers’ at the beginning of the titles are coming in as absolute numbers (e.g., 7, 8 , 9, 10, 11, etc.) instead of our section numbering. I checked the General Preferences, and it is set to ‘View: Section Numbering’. And when I exported an interactive PDF, the bookmarks also add the absolute page number at the beginning of the titles as in the TOC. But if I set the TOC to include page numbers automatically, those DO display correct section numbers (they just precede or follow our titles with the incorrect numbering).
2) Any ideas why the TOC and PDF Bookmarks would be picking up absolute numbering while the actual titles on the pages show the proper section numbering?
THANKS!

I've never tried adding a second marker to a paragraph like that. Why not use a numbered list instead?
Just checking in here. Not sure I understand what you mean about using a numbered list. Do you mean instead of the page numbers in the titles, or instead of the Table of Contents? Not sure how either could be automated to stay in sync with adding/removing pages and creating the TOC links and bookmarks in our PDFs.
- Is there a bug when the TOC pulls the specified title paragraphs and they have page numbers in them?
Thanks. Still trying to see if we're doing something wrong as this is the first we've played with TOC.

Table of Contents & Completed Sections

Hi all, just generally looking for some advice here.
I am developing some e-learning. For now, let's assume there is no quizzing element in the e-learning. It's just a linear bit of e-learning, the user needs to read the information on each slide, click Next, go to the next slide, etc, and so on. Let's assume the e-learning module essentially contains four sections (let's call them Introduction, Learn, Try and Conclusion). FYI, the e-learning will be hosted in the Cornerstone OnDemand LMS.
I want users to have some visual indicator which shows that they have completed each section. I realise I could use the Table of Contents to show this to some degree, and that's explored in Method 2, but I'd like your advice on Method 1:
Method 1: I'd like the e-learning to launch on a Home slide I would create, which contains links to the four sections: Introduction, Learn, Try and Conclusion. As the user completes each section, they are prompted to return to the Home slide. Each time they complete a section and return to the Home slide, I would like a green tick to appear next to each completed section to indicate that they have completed that section. It's important that the user is able to log out of the e-learning and return and the sections they have already completed still show as completed (indicated by the green tick). I assume I'd need to use some sort of advanced actions. Is this even possible within Captivate?
Method 2: I realise I could use the Table of Contents, and that might well be simpler. However, I'd prefer the method described in Method 1, because I have much greater control over the content. However, if I have to use the ToC, I'd like to know the best way to show the section completion status. I know that I have to group the slides into a folder in the ToC, so for example I might group slides 2-10 in the Introduction folder, slides 11-20 in the Learn folder, slides 21-30 in the Try folder and slides 31-40 in the Conclusion folder, however each once each section is completed by the user (normally indicated in the ToC by a green tick), this isn't shown as complete in the ToC. The reason for this, is that I want the user to see the section in the ToC, but not the individual slides, and it appears a section is only shown as completed in the ToC if I show one or more slidesin that section. Is there any way around this limitation?
I'd much prefer to explore Method 1, but Method 2 is certainly viable if I can overcome the limitation described above.
I'm developing in both Captivate 4 and Captivate 5 - I prefer Cp4, but happy to revert to Cp5 if that's where the solution lies. Thanks all for any and all advice given!

Hello,
Perhaps my blog post can help you? I offer a free template as well (it is for CP5), provided you send me an email address (can be done by private message):

How to delete a table of contents?

It sounds like a stupid question, but I cannot delete my table of contents again? I only used the TOC in the draft, but don't need it in the final version of my document anymore. But - it sounds stupid - I cannot delete it. I marked it and hit the delete key, the back key. No more idea of how to delete the TOC. I even found no hint in the manual.
Any tips? Thanks.

Double-click the TOC so that it is surrounded by a dark border, then hit the 'delete' key.
Good luck,
Terry

Include Master Page Items in Table of Contents

I am building a table of contents in InDesign CS3. I've got paragraph style applied to my section heading and well as section subheadings. However, my sections headings are located on Master Pages (as they are repeating on several pages), and my section subheadings are located directly on the pages themselves (as they do not repeat).
When I set up my table of contents only my section subheadings show up, not both. When I go to a page with a section heading and override the master page item and then update my table of contents my section header shows up. Is there any way to include my secion headers without overriding the master page items?
-Carina

I found this article about using Power Headers to override master frames that addresses the table of contents issue: http://in-tools.com/article/power-headers/power-headers-overrides-master-frames/
Hope this helps!

Can I create a Table of Contents (CS6) in a separate document of book file?

I'm helping someone create an ebook. He has three separate sections of his book so there are three files that make up the Indesign book. I currently have a table of contents at the beginning of each of the three sections and when I pdf the book, it works great. But when I export it as a Kindle ebok, only the TOC for the very first section works. I don't know how to fix it so that I can have multiple TOCs so if anyone knows, I would welcome advice on that! Otherwise I was thinking of just having one TOC in a separate file so my book would be made of a TOC and then the three sections of the book. But when I create a new document and try to add a TOC, it won't do it because the doc is blank. I'm sure there must be a way to have a separate document for a TOC that is actually functional when the book is exported.
I hope this makes sense!

Hi,
If you need TOC for each file in itself then while creating TOC, select 'Make text anchor in source paragraph' and it will make TOC as hyperlinks in exported epub.
If you need TOC in a separate document, then add a new document to book and while creating TOC in this document select 'Include Book Documents' and it will bring styles from all documents in the book in this document and then you can create a TOC for all the document. Also select 'Make text anchor in source paragraph' so that it will work as hyperlink in exported epub.
And if you do not even want to place TOC in your document and need it in exported epub then create a TOC style in source document of book which is a TOC for all documents in book. When exporting to EPUB, select 'TOC Style' in Navigation drop down and then select your created TOC style in next drop down.
Thanks

Table of contents placeholder not working?

So far, everything is working well. I have my book about ready to go, but I need to customize the table of contents. There is a placeholder on each TOC page that as far as I can tell from the Help files, you can drop an image there. However, I can't seem to get it to work. Dropping anything there simple seems to place it on top of the placeholder, not "in" it. How is this done? or is it meant for something else?
Thanks.

My analysis on the Image Placeholder for the TOC page has resulted in the following conclusions.
You ARE able to include any image on each of the chapter pages in the TOC
In order for a chapter page in the TOC to have its own separate image, you must define one of your images in the Chapter Layout for that chapter to have a tag of "Main Image." If you do not have an image in your Chapter Layout defined as "Main Image," then you cannot drag an image into the Media Placeholder for that Chapter in the TOC.
To define an image with a "Main Image" tag
Select the Chapter Layout
Select an Image
Go to Layout tab in the Inspector
Select "Editable on Pages using this Layouy"
Set the tag to "Main Image"
The corresponding chapter page in the TOC will now have that image in the Media Placeholder
You are NOT limited to having the same image in your TOC that is on the Chapter Layout. You can now change the image in the Media Placeholder on that chapter page in the TOC by dragging an image on to it
Let me know if this works for everyone.
Cheers,
Jim

IBooks Author table of contents does recognize paragraph styles

The video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2p08-NmqfQ
shows that using iBooks Author I should be able to have text that is formatted with specific Paragraph Styles show automatically in the Table of Contents. But for me that does not work. My version of ibooksAuthor is version 2.1.1 ( the latest) , under OS 10.9.1 (the latest) on an iMac.
The video shows the Inspector for TOC as a separate window and shows explicitly, under Sections, the items Copyright, Dedication, Foreword, Section and Section Text. It also has two Paragraph styles listed, Heading 1 and Heading 2.
This set of TOC entries is available for me with templates from Landscape with Portrait but NOT with templates of Portrait. The templates available for Portrait do not list, in the TOC Inspector, Heading 1 or Heading 2.
Furthermore, the Portrait templates do NOT allow me to add any Paragraph style to the list (the control for adding Paragraph Styles to the list is grayed out), although the Landscape templates DO allow me to add any Paragraph style.
However, when, with a Landscape template (e.g. Basic) I format text as one of the paragraph styles Header 1, Header 2, Chapter, Section, it does NOT automatically show up in the TOC, though if I add a new section it does automatically show up. The TOC only lists Chapter and Section if these have been added from the menu bar.
When I use a Portrait template (e.g. Basic or any other) and format text as one of the Paragraph Styles Chapter or Section that text does not show up in the TOC. And the control for adding Paragraph Styles to the list is grayed out: I cannot add Header 1 or Header 2. The TOC only lists Chapter and Section if these have been added from the menu bar.
No matter what template I use, if I assign a paragraph style to some text, it does not show up in the TOC. And with Portrait templates, which is what I want to use, I cannot adde any paragraph styles to the TOC Inspector in Portrait templates.

The iBA Help has info on: table of contents
Which includes:
Each book comes with a table of contents that is updated automatically. You can view the table of contents at any time by selecting Table of Contents in the sidebar. The table of contents includes a default set of items, but you can change which items appear. A table of contents can include:
Chapter and section titles: All chapter and section titles are included in the table of contents by default. If you remove a section from the table of contents, all other sections that use the same layout are removed as well.
Text that uses specified paragraph styles: By default, the table of contents includes all paragraphs in the book that use the Heading 1 and Heading 2 style, but you can include whichever styles you like. Paragraph styles appear in the table of contents only in portrait orientation. See Format text using styles.
The way the table of contents looks depends on the current page orientation. In landscape orientation (shown below), each chapter has its own contents page, with navigation buttons at the bottom. In portrait orientation, the entire book’s table of contents is visible as an expandable list.
Add or remove items in the table of contents
If the Document inspector isn’t open, click Inspector in the toolbar and click the Document Inspector button.
Click the TOC button.
Do either or both of the following:
To add an item: Click the Add pop-up menu , choose Add Paragraph Style, and choose an option from the submenu.
To remove an item: Select the item you want to remove and click the Delete button .

Acrobat XI PRO: Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically in top, after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file

Hey
I have now tried for hours, but now I give up!
MY WISH -
Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file.
I have already bookmarks, shown on the screen (see screenshot below) but I want those bookmark to be visualised in a separate TOC in the top of the combined files.
This new TOC (which I have inserted) shall be printable and serve as a cover page in a binder.
I have seen other cheap pdf.programs in the market (e.g. PDF Converter Professional 7.3) which are able to make the above things, easy, fast and nice.

Somewhat roundabout way but this should work:

How to use different images in the Table of Contents?

Hello everyone, I am creating an iBook about Architecture and I would like to have different images for each Chapter in the Table of Contents... But when I add an image it automatically appears on all the other chapters, too. What am i doing wrong?

You drag the image to the screen and it replaces the placeholder image.
When you hover over the current image, don't you get the message "this is a placeholder . . ." under your mouse pointer?
I think the documentation states that the new image must be jpg or png, but a Photoshop image seems to work too.
In portrait mode, only one image shows at the top of the list of chapters, and that can be changed too.
But in landscape mode, all of the separate chapter images can be accessed by clicking the littel dots at the bottom of the screen when at the TOC page.

How to Create a Table of Contents From an Imported PDF File?

I have imported a 150 page PDF file into inDesign 5. I want to create a Table of Contents for my document, but there are no paragraph or heading styles in the document. If I built the document in inDesign, I would have labeled each chapter "Heading 1" and then instructed inDesign to collect up all the Heading 1s and make a TOC automatically.
But I didn't create this PDF, it has no formatting at all. Its just been placed in the inDesign document space.
Anyone have any tips of how I can pick out all the Chapter headings.....they are in a distinctive format (14 point bold) from the rest of the document text.
Anyone?

InDesign cannot read *anything* out of a PDF file.
Open in Acrobat, copy heading, paste in InDesign. Repeat until done.

Need help with Table of Content

Hi,
I have recently started working with Robohelp 7. I just
completed my first project working with the tool. This project has
several Topics, and each topic has sub-topic under them. When I
generated the html files, I had given the Introductory sub-topic as
the default topic.
Now after the files are generated, I cannot open any other
topic in the table of content until I expand the topic containing
the default sub-topic. This issue is basically with Firefox
browser. It seems to work well with Safari. IE anyways opens the
folder containing the default topic.
I am not sure if any other user have faced similar problems?
Would like to hear from you guys too.

How to update a table of contents when the feature "update table of contents" is unavailable?

Hello folks,
I've been struggling all morning with this issue and am completely desperate.
First, some info:
- I am making a spanish versions of an english documents: everything in the original doc was then edited, including TOCs. What I got at first, was a first spanish document already filled with spanish content.
- I was not the primary creative of the document I'm workin on and am unable to get in touch with whoever that can be.
- My document is a 200 pages text only document, with 12 chapters and, at the beginning of each chapter, a specific TOC for that very chapter.
- Inside each chapter, there are only Sections and Subsections, no other style. Those are the two levels in the TOCs.
- There is also a General TOC at the beginning of the document: that one only shows the Chapter names and the page number where to locate them.
My problem:
- Somewhere along the way, from one doc to another, the TOCs stopped to update the page numbers automatically.
- Now I have sections and subsections that are shown in one page (for instance 204) but they actually are on page 135.
- When I try to update the TOCs, I stand on the TOC itself as I was told in many tutorials, but the "update table of contents" feature is unavailable, even in the main TOC at the very beginning of the doc.
It is like if I wasn't standing in the actual TOC, but there is no actual TOC anywhere that I could refer to.
What can I do? I am changing the wrong page numbers manually but, of course, that is not ideal... and it may become more and more tricky while I keep producing new documents each based on the previous one.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Warm regard from sunny Paris, France!

You've just confused me.
My understanding of how this is set up is that either:
This is a book, and there is a master TOC that includes all book documents and a document-specific TOC in each component file, or
This is a single file and there is one master TOC that includes all sections and a section-specific TOC that includes only the individual section.
In the first case, I think you would want two TOC styles set up, one that includes the chapter heads (if I understood how you said this worked) for the for the master, and you would include all docs in the book when you generate it, and a second style for the individual chapters, with the subheadings you want to include.
In the second case, it would be similar, but instead of only one style to cover the section TOCS, I think you would need to create a unique set of pargraph styles for the headings in each section (they can all be the same format, based one section, just with unique names), and then make a TOC style for each section that includes only the styles from that section.
OK, wait a sec. I just reread what you said: "Another thing: when the numbers are "linked" and updating well, they display indide a little box. Not a text box, but a kind of little frame around the numbers. That frame makes it imposible to delete just one number: when the TOC says that Section 6.1 is in page 135, for example, you cannot delete just the 5, it deletes, not just the 3 numbers, but also the doted tab."
I think these are NOT normal TOCs created by using Layout > TOC (but you could replace them with ones that are, if you set up your styles properly and the text you want to include is appearing on the pages). Those little boxes you mention sound like cross-references, which should update automatically without any intervention at all. Unfortunately, cross-refs can be flakey, especially if they point to another document. I'd open the cross-refs panel and see if you need to recreate a bunch of links.

I cannot separate my table of contents by section
