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?

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!

Add pages before the table of content into the table of content

Hey,
I was wondering if someone can help me. I'm writing my dissertation and I have to include an abstract and acknowledgments before the table of content ( written on pages 1 and 2). How can I get pages to include these pages within the table of contents written on page 3?
Thanks
Ordidge

You can't get it in the TOC automatically. You can do it manually but you'll loose the updating feature of the TOC so do it when you are certain you are finished with the document.
What you do is copy the whole TOC and paste it in Textedit. Here you can do all the changes you want. Copy it again and paste it back in the Pages document.

ID CS5: How to include additional text into a table of contents and how to hide text from it?

I have the following problem:
1. I'd like to include additional Information in my table of contents which I don't want to appear in the text I refer to.
Example: I do have a picture with a caption saying:
picture 1: Blablabla.
And I want to have the source of the picture as additional information in the table of contents:
picture 1........Blablabla (source: thisandthat)........23
Still I don't want this additional content to disappear, as soon as I update the table of contents!
How can I achieve that?
2. And how can I have this the other way round?
Let's say I want the source in the caption, but not in the table of contents.
So the caption says:
picture1: Blablabla (source: thisandthat)
but the table of content says:
picture 1........Blablabla.....................23
I was trying to achieve this by two different praograph styles in the caption. One which would be listed, and one which wouldn't be listed, but this of course resulted in always having two paragraphs in the caption, which I'd like to avoid:
picture1: Blablabla
(source: thisandthat)
Any solution to this?

Rainer Schwachsinn

Sorry, missed the second part of the question. I think the only way to do that is to use invisible "dummy" text of some sort, and if you're going to do it for some entries, you might as will do it for all.
One of the easiest ways is to put the text you want inthe TOC into an anchored frame attached to the actual heading in the text (so it moves along with it). Use a unique paragraph style for this text, and include this style, not the one applied to the headings inthe text, to make the TOC. I usually use a character color of red to make it satnd oout so I don't forget it's there, and the position on the page isn't really critical. Select the anchored frame, open the Attributes panel and make it non-printing. You'll see it in editing mode, the TOC will pick it up (as will variables, if required) but it will disappear on output.

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]

Text wrap on Master Page items

RE: InDesign CS2 on Windows Vista
Hello,
I inserted a graphic on both of my master pages and applied a text wrap to them. However, on my document pages, my text does not wrap around the graphics. (In the Text Frame Options dialog box, the "Ignore Text Wrap" box is not checked.) I know I can either override my master page items (and insert the graphic again) or control-shift-click on the graphic and force the text to wrap around it. But that puts another link to the graphic in my document...and I'm trying to minimize the file size.
Do you have any ideas on how to make the text wrap on the master pages work on the document pages?

Text wrap on masters is not honored on live pages in CS2. It was added as feature in CS3.

How do I get to the second page of a table of contents?

I have purchased several books that are long enough that their interactive tables of contents require more than one page. I have not been able to figure out how to get to the second or subsequent pages of the table of contents. Tapping or swiping the right side of the page does not advance the page as it does within the book itself, and it does not scroll down as though it were a long one-page list. Tapping on the table of contents icon again does not advance to the next page either. How do I change pages of a table of contents to select a chapter or book beyond the first page of the contents list? This is not addressed in the User's Manual.

No, sorry.

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.

Including Tagged Text in a Table of Contents

I would like to include only a few words from a given paragraph in the Table of Contents.
For example in the example paragraph, I would like only the term Blather to appear in the TOC "Blather - Blah blah blah blah."
Is there a way I can tag "Blather" and then have the TOC dialog include Tagged Text?
I'm using CS 5.5.
Thanks you.

Thanks Peter,
I like the auto-updating feature of the second option.
So that I understand, you're suggesting I create a hyperlink destination on the text to display in the TOC (right-click --> Interactive --> New Hyperlink Destination), and then manually insert a cross-reference to that hyperlink destination in my TOC (Type --> Hyperlinks & Cross-References --> Insert Cross-References --> Link to: Text Anchor)?

Pages 5.5 table of contents not showing after formatting to ePub

Im currently trying to format my pages version 5.5 document to ePub. My goal is to use the created document in iBooks. I have downloaded the ePub best practices template from the relevant apple help pages and followed the guidelines. However when opening the document as an ePub file via iBooks the table of contents is non existent. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

All the documentation I have read for created EPUB are to export XHTML, rather than DTBook. I'm not sure if it follows the same rules as EPUB for XHTML.
Assuming it does, you need to do two things: (1) Create a TOC Style (not just a Table of Contents) in the Layout menu. (2) When in the Export EPUB dialog > Contents panel, specify the TOC Style you created.
In an "normal" EPUB 2.01, that would do two things: It would create a navigational TOC shown in every EPUB reader, and it would leave the TOC you placed on your page as an internal TOC.

Page ranges in table of contents in CD2

I am using CS2. I am working on a directory, and we are putting in an alphabetised listing table of contents.
Some of the listings are on more than one page, so I end up with two entries with two different page numbers, like this:
read this heading 16
read this heading 17
What I want is:
read this heading 16-17
Is it possible to get InDesign to do this, or do I need to manually edit the ToC after we generate the final version?
Thanks.
Liz

The ToC cannot do this. The index can, though. So, unless you also have an index in your document you could mis-use that to build your toc.

Indesign question: Master page items I remove won't stay gone

I'm working on laying out a book, with various chapters which are separate files. Naturally there's a master page with various guides I use a lot, as well as a fairly standard running header with page numbers and chapter and section names. As is standard practise, I want these to appear on nearly every page, but not on the first pages of chapters. (There are other times I might want to override this, but that's the main one.) So, I Ctrl-Shift-click and delete them when I set up a new chapter.
Problem is, they don't stay gone. Every so often, I open up a previous chapter and find that these elements are back on the first page of that chapter, and I delete them again. I've only been noticing this since I made the chapters in question into a book file so I could keep an eye on my page count and synch up styles more easily.
My best guess is that maybe it has something to do with the aforementioned synching. I do want those chapters to share the same master page(s) but do not want IDto keep reapplying elements from them to individual pages that I've already manually removed them from (sometimes more than once). How can I prevent this from happening? (Or alternatively, if this isn't the cause of the problem, what else could it be and how do I deal with that?)

Fair enough. Guess that's just as easy, if not slightly easier, than what I've been doing, and so far it seems to be working.

Placement of datamerge boxes and moving master page items

You helped me with my data merge problem earlier. Now I have successfully brought my excel info into Indesign with datamerge but I can't seem to get the multiple boxes to sit on my page, they are grouped together to the left and down from my page.
Also I've used master pages to create a header and footer for each page and the left hand page behaves as it should, but the objects on the rh master page appear lower and to the right of where they should be. I've attached a screenshot so you can see what I mean. It's a bit hard to see the rh page header, but it should be similar to the lh page. I'm using CS6.

After a bunch of trials and errors I think I've done the multiple records correctly. Just had an A4 page with nothing on it except the one text box and with no master pages - I changed to facing pages and did the master pages after I'd done the data merge.
It seems odd to me that the header and footer on the lh page is correct but not on the rh page when they've been made the same way.
I've just gone through my whole document and moved all the text boxes to where they should be and if I don't come up with some remedy that's what I'll do with the rh page but I'd really like to solve this mystery as I'm so pleased with the whole data merge system that I'd like it to work 100% properly.
The overset text is not a problem as I'm going to link my text boxes to deal with text of different lengths and some fields to be deleted. I've done the data merge several times while I worked out the right size for the text box to fit my desired page format.

Pages to EPUB: Table of Contents displaying FIRST?

I saw this question posed earlier, and no solution was raised.
Does anyone know why my TOC is displaying FIRST when I export to EPUB, instead of behind the Title and Copyright pages, as I have it set on the pages document?
Thank you!

Same here. Very annoing, and I cannot find any way to fix this.

Per site, list driven footer and other content areas on a SharePoint 2010 master page?

So I worked with a vendor to provide a js, a powershell script and <div> content holders in a master page that would pull the content dynamically based on the site or subsite, and more specifically from a custom list in that site. To explain, if I
have a root site collection but want to be able to have the end user control the site content, such as a custom top navigation (above the global) and custom footer, and custom place holder content that would appear under the navigation; I would like to have
that content pulled from a list.
My goal is to not have a "custom master page" for the many many sites we have in our environment. I am using twitter bootstrap as the foundation for the master pages, then a set number of page layouts pending whether they want left nav to show
or not. I also typically just use the v4.master for the system pages, but am not sure if that is a best practice either being that the list display forms for a publishing site are ugly so need customized per list.
Has any one done anything like this and if so could you point me in the right direction? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Right now am working within SP2010 but will be testing for SP2013 in the near future.

Hi,
Based on my understanding, you might want to display dynamic content in the pages which reference a specific master page, the content stores in a custom list, users
can update the master page by updating the corresponding list items.
Then there would be two main steps in a solution like this:
1. Data retrieving of a list: JavaScript Client Object Model can help to query the needed items from a list;
JavaScript Client Object Model
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh185006(v=office.14).aspx
More information about JavaScript Client Object Model:
How to: Create, Update, and Delete List Items Using JavaScript
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh185011(v=office.14).aspx
2. Modify the master page: With the data retrieved, we can then change the HTML source code of a page using JavaScript.
About how to
modify the HTML using JavaScript:
http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_htmldom_html.asp
http://njarb.com/2011/06/update-html-content-using-javascript/
We can apply the custom JavaScript to the master page, then when users open a page which references this master page, the JavaScript will run, get data from the custom
list, change the HTML source of the current page and display the content you want.

Patrick
