InDesign TOC order using multiple stories

Hello all,
I'm having some trouble with the TOC mechanism in InDesign. Assuming a story flowing from page 1 to page 100 in 100 textframes (one textframe per page). The TOC preset is configured well, TOC creation works fine.
When creating an additional textframe (new story, not linked, containing an automated general index) on page 50 e.g., styling its content with a TOC relevant paragraph style and updating TOC, for some poor reasons the new frames entry appears at the end of the TOC (with correct numbering).
I'm aware of InDesigns logic starting at the upper left corner and working down before moving right to read out paragraph positions, which in my opinion shouldn't be the problem/solution in that particular case. The problem seems to be that InDesign is not able to bring different stories entries in correct order. Can anyone confirm that behavior?
Thank you very much!
Jan

Hello Peter,
that you very much for analysis and patience!
Unfortunately I'm not allowed to present the original layout here, but I built a sample file instead.
You already mentioned the fact, that the second story paragraphs are listed ahead of the threaded story. I really wonder why InDesign is not able to merge different stories in TOC. Maybe we just have to accept that. I thought about building a solution by scripting, but would prefer a way without it, because the InDesign document will surely get hold of people, who are not familiar with scripting or simply not aware of the (potential …) bug. However thats my problem and I'm just lucky that it does not seem to be my fault.
Some additional info:
The sample file has 6 pages.
Example 1:
Page 1: contains TOC (separate story)
Page 2-6: threaded story; first paragraph starting on page 3 because it is forced to start at an odd page
Page 3: contains 2 stories/frames; the threaded one and an index story (screenshot no. 1).
Page 5: contains 2 stories/frames; the threaded one and a second index story (just for testing purposes)
When generating TOC both index headlines appear below the ones from the threaded story (screenshot no. 2).
Screenshot no. 1
Screenshot no. 2
Example 2:
Page 1: contains TOC (separate story)
Page 2: begin of threaded story
Page 3: contains only index story (screenshot no. 3)
Page 4-6: continuation of threaded story
Page 5: contains 2 stories/frames; the threaded one and a second index story (just for testing purposes); first paragraph starting here because it is forced to start at an odd page
When generating TOC first index headline appears above the ones from the threaded story, second index headline appears below the ones from the threaded story (screenshot no. 4).
Screenshot no. 3
Screenshot no. 4
In both examples the page sequence is correct, it is just separated by story.
Given two text frames on the same page the mechanism works like that in my opinion:
Situation 1:
Frame 1: second oder further frame of a story (contains text)
Frame 2: first frame of a story (contains text)
RESULT in TOC: story of frame 1 is listed first
Situation 2:
Frame 1: second (oder further) frame of a story (NO CONTENT in any frame till this page, because of setting paragraph start to odd/even pages e.g.)
Frame 2: first frame of a story (contains text)
RESULT in TOC: story of frame 2 is listed first (story 1 begins on an earlier page, but first paragraph of each story matters)
Situation 3:
Frame 1: first frame of a story (contains text)
Frame 2: first frame of a story (contains text)
Both frames with different x-position
RESULT in TOC: story of the more left standing (lower x-position) frame is listed first (= x-position matters)
Situation 4:
Frame 1: first frame of a story (contains text)
Frame 2: first frame of a story (contains text)
Both frames with identical x-position, but different y-position
RESULT in TOC: story of the frame on top of the page is listed first (= y-position matters)
So far, many thanks!

  • Can I use multiple store.connect( ) in my code?

    I have a mail server installed on my local comp and have created multiple users. Now I need to poll the folders of each of those users for mails and read the mails. The code is working fine for a single user but when I increase the number or users, i get a connect failed error message. I am posting the code snippet as well as the error obtained.

    I don't think MU is the right tool for e-mails.  E-mail clients vary wildly even among different versions of the same software.  So building e-mails is not the same as building web pages.
    Successful E-mail templates are based on tables with a limited amount of CSS and, as you say, no JS.  For best results, hand coding is really your best option:

  • Is there any need for an InDesign user to use InCopy as well?

    We are looking to do a software refresh from CS3 to CS5, and when auditing users we discoverd a handful of people that are using InDesign and InCopy.  My previous thoughts about InCopy, was that the program isn't needed if you have InDesign, but users have given the following reasons for using both.  Can someone tell me if these reasons are founded, or if there is a way to do these things in InDesign only?
    Example 1:  InDesign: Use to edit pages before going to press, cut copy to fit, re-write headlines and insert captions.  InCopy:  Use daily to perform first reads and content edits of stories submitted by writers and to write my own copy, and to format stories before sending them to the copy editor for final editing.
    Example 2:  InCopy CS2 I use in conjunction w/InDesign when we create an issue.
    Example 3:   I use Adobe Incopy CS2 several times per week to format and file stories with our copydesk. I also use Adobe InDesign CS3 to make cuts and late edits on page each week before my section ships to the printer.
    Example 4:  Use both daily for printed materials
    Input is greatly appreciated!  Thank you

    Thank you John, for one user it appears he is doing to copy editing as well as the design.  He is using InCopy to format tex files before they are imported in InDesign.  Can you tell me if InDesign can be used as a word-processing software?
    Here are exaples of a few of the other workflows: When I send stories to our copy chief, they have to be in an InCopy template for him to format the fonts. FM's two reporters send stories to me in Word, and I edit them before putting them in an InCopy template and sending them proofread. They then do an initial proofread for house style before formatting them and sending them to our art department for page layout in InDesign.
    After the pages are laid out by our art director, I use InDesign in order to cut stories to fit, proofread and edit and write captions on page. Years ago, we had an additional copy editor to help our copy chief with this stage of the process, but he got laid off. They gave me and one other editor copies of InDesign at that point, so that we could distribute his work on shipping days. Since we're a weekly, I currently use both of these programs extensively every week.
    It appears these users are wearing multiple hats, I was just under the impression that InDesign could do anything that InCopy does (and more ofcourse).  Apparently I was incorrect?

  • How to show logic of picking multiple stores to fulfill an order line item

    I'm still learning some basics with OPA.
    How do I represent the logic of picking multiple stores to fulfill an order line item when no one store has the requested quantity? A concrete example would be greatly appreciated as I'm still thinking procedurally for solutions.

    Hi!
    I believe this is following on from the thread:
    Calculating least cost of a product across stores using OPA
    So I'm assuming we're using a similar data model.
    If we want to involve quantity as well as cheapest price, then I'm assuming the requirement is:
    Find the cheapest price for the product from all the stores which still have quantity left of that product.
    This is where inferred relationships come in handy.
    Here is an example of what you can do with them to help solve this requirement.
    the store is a member of the product's stores if
    .ExistsScope(the store's prices)
    ..the price's product name = the product name
    the store is a member of the product's stores with remaining stock if
    .the store is a member of the product's stores and
    ..ExistsScope(the store's quantities)
    ...the quantity's product name = the product name and
    ...the quantity's amount > 0
    Then we basically want to pick the cheapest price for the product from the members of the relationship "the product's stores with remaining stock"
    Note that "the product's stores with remaining stock" could obviously be many instances, all with different prices. But for an order, a product needs to come from only one place! The deciding factor to "pinpoint" one place from this potential list of many could be based on anything, such as location, sales ranking, etc. But in this case Im going to assume lowest price is the decider.
    In the previous post we created a simple relationship between "the product" and "the prices" (which are contained by the store).
    We can make a more powerful relationship now:
    the price is a member of the product's available prices if
    ForScope(the price's store, the main store)
    .the main store is a member of the product's stores with remaining stock
    (I'm using an alias here to be 100% sure of which store is in scope)
    Now we can use the rules in the previous post, but change the relationship to the more advanced one we just created:
    the product's cheapest available price = InstanceMin(the product's available prices, the price's amount)
    Then
    the product's cheapest available store name = InstanceValueIf(the product's available prices, the price's store name, the price's amount = the product's cheapest available price)
    This is all psuedo code so many need some slight tweaks when you put it into OPM. Make sure you set up the relationships in a property file and declare all the attributes etc.
    Inferred relationships are really useful as "filters" sometimes. Here we first filtered all the stores which have prices for the product (i.e. have it in their catalogue). Then we filtered to get a list of all the stores which have stock remaining for the product. From that, we could find the cheapest available price.
    This is by no means the only way to do it! It's also by no means a simple problem but the great thing about OPA is that you can put all of the relationship config rules in the system rule folder / word doc, meaning that the source / business rules can still look relatively simple (in the end, it only took 2 lines of source rules to find the cheapest available price!). Once you've got the right set up and invested time in designing your data model, you will find it much easier to solve seemingly complex problems across entities.
    One word of warning though: if you have thousands of instances of prices, stores, products etc. then there is a performance impact of using many inferred relationships and alternatives should also be considered.
    Hope this helps!
    Feel free to contact me for more help on this. If you are relatively new to OPA and trying to tackle this you should consider investing in some training.
    Cheers,
    Ben

  • Can I use multiple Apple store gift cards per transaction or is it has to be one gift card per transaction?

    Hola, Eddy
    notice that you have posted to an old thread (Oct-Nov2013) that actually took quite some time to get attention back then**
    I recommend that you contact the Store Group regarding your purchase question - don't let the "iTune-ish" URL and page title throw you off... it's the right place
    Store Group - Contact Us - Apple Support
    ** next time you have a question, I advise to check the dates carefully and if older than a month or so, AND it has no answer to your specific issue, start a NEW Question. You did a fine job of stating your exact issue - many folks, not so much.

  • How to create multiple Purchase Order  using the same document number?

    HI Friends,
    I m in a product which extracts data from SAP and stored in Access database.
    For that,while i extracting Purchase Order from the Demo Database (SBODemo_US)for OEC Computers,the same DocNum is used for several Purchase Order using Index Line numbers.
    eg:
    DocNum for Purchase Order1 -->3000   0 (Index)
      DocNum for Purchase Order2 -->3000   1 (Index)
        But i can't create multiple Purchase Order using same DocNum manually in SAP B1,Could anybody please help me <b>to create a Purchase Order using same DocumentNumber?</b>
    Thanks in Advance
    SooriyaKala.P

    Hi,
    The problem statement is not quite clear to me.
    As far as I understand your statement, I think you want to club multiple orders into one purchase order using the index incrementally.
    For this I think once you have created the first purchase order, open the purchase order in edit mode the second time and append the new line items.
    If I am getting you wrong please explain the problem statement in more detail.
    Regards,
    Rara.

  • How can I change the order of menu items using Term Store Navigation?

    I tried to enter the terms in the order I wanted them to appear (IE - Home, About, Contact etc. ) but my menus are still sorted by alpha (About, Contact, Home). I have tried to change the order using the interface but it doesn't seem to work.
    Any suggestions on how to obtain the desired effect?  If there is no workaround this feature is practically useless.

    Hi Pankaj,
    You are in the correct way. I am sure you should be able to update multiple products to the order. I feel you might be passing some other parameters which actually restricts somewhere..

    Now when the problem is tracked down (spanning of columns) I choose to create a new thread hoping that someone has encountered the same problem and has a possible solution. (Using CS 6)
    The problem:
    I have chapters (H1) with sub-chapters (H2). The text is flowing freely between the chapter text-frames, until a new chapter (H1) starts. The chapter title (H1) spans over all columns, defined in its paragraph style.
    When creating a TOC I have found that if a sub-chapter (H2) is above a new chapter (H1) the spanning column function messes up the TOC order. See chapter 1:4 in my example.
    The problem may be bypassed by doing one of the following things:
    Disable the column span of H1. E.i the chapter heading in a single column messes up the original layout.
    Connect all text frames. E.i, flow text thru all text-frames, may become a problem when rearing the chapter order.
    Remove the text-frame connection of the text-frames….
    None of these solutions are sufficient. I have never during my 13 years with Indesign encountered such showstopper/bug.

    Thanks for your replay.
    The numbers is written text to make it easier to comprehend the example. These are not auto-generated.
    In the other thread I had got some response:
    "When the textframe flows from an even page number to an uneven page number the problem (like from page 2 to page 3) the TOC is incorrect.
    But when the textframe flows from an uneven page number to an even page number (like from page 3 to page 4) the TOC is correct."
    Which does not make any sense at all.

  • T-SQL - Using Column Name in where condition without any references when having multiple tables that are engaged using multiple joins.

    Hi All,
    I am a newbie for T-Sql, I came across a SP where multiple tables are engaged using multiple joins but the where clause contain  a column field without any table reference  and assigned  for an incoming variable,like 
    where 'UserId = @UserId'
    instead -  no table reference like 'a.UserId = @Userid'   ............ Can any please do refer to me any material that clears my mind regarding such issue................... help is appreciated.
    Thank You.

    As suggested above, use table alias with columns for unique referencing and to make the code easier to read.
    BOL example for table aliasing:
    USE AdventureWorks;
    GO
    SELECT S.CustomerID, S.Name AS Store, A.City, SP.Name AS State, CR.Name
    AS CountryRegion
    FROM Sales.Store AS S
    JOIN Sales.CustomerAddress AS CA ON CA.CustomerID = S.CustomerID
    JOIN Person.Address AS A ON A.AddressID = CA.AddressID
    JOIN Person.StateProvince SP ON
    SP.StateProvinceID = A.StateProvinceID
    JOIN Person.CountryRegion CR ON
    CR.CountryRegionCode = SP.CountryRegionCode
    ORDER BY S.CustomerID ;
    GO
    GO
    LINK:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms124824(v=sql.100).aspx
    Check the use of TABLE ALIASes and COLUMN ALIASes in the following blog:
    http://www.sqlusa.com/bestpractices2005/organizationtree/
    Without the use of aliases the code would become unreadable.

  • New 13" Macbook Pro trying to connect to a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 as second monitor. I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. The Macbook does not sense the second monitor (TV). Help?!

    I've been a Mac since 2008, so I know my way around the system pretty well. This issue, however, has me stumped. I had an iMac until now and only now am I experiencing some difficulty with my new MacBook Pro. The model I have is the newest 13" Macbook Pro model and I'm trying to connect a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 42" HDTV as a second monitor via the Thunderbolt port.
    It worked the first two times and hasn't worked since, after 10-15 attempts with different configurations, turning things on n off, restarting the mac, unplugging the cables, adapters, TV, resetting the P RAM, etc... I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. No matter what I do, the Macbook does not sense the TV as a second monitor anymore.
    I took the MacBook Pro to the Apple Store, and their "genius" there had it working fine with a DVI connection to a regular monitor. The Panasonic TV I have has HDMI connections and one VGA connection which does not support HD, but no DVI option. I want an HD connection to mirror or extend my MacBook Pro screen. At the Apple Store, they didn't have a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, so he could not try that out for me.
    Anyone else have this configuration or another similar one with a Panasonic HDTV?
    Ideas? Suggestions? Anything?! Help!!
    P.S. I'm running Mountain Lion, if that wasn't already obvious. Everything is up to date in my App Store as well.
    Thanks!

    Hi There,
    I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
    The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
    I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
    Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
    Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
    There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • Any examples of a data template using multiple data sources?

    I'm looking for an example report using multiple data sources. I've seen one where they do a master/detail but I'm just looking to combine results in sorted order (sorted across all data sources). The master/detail used a bind variable to link the two defined queries, I'm thinking what I want won't have that, so I'm lost on how to make that happen. I have reports using multiple sql queries and there is a way in the data source pulldown to tell it to combine the data sources. It appears to be a more manual process with data templates, if it's even possible.
    Any pointers/links would be appreciated.

    Hi Vetsrini :
    That's just it. Mine is simpler than that. There is no master/detail relationship between the two queries. I have the same exact query that I run in two databases and I want to merge the results (ordered, by, say eventTime) in one report. So I think my results are going to be two separate groups (one for each data source) which I'll have to let BI merge vis XSLT or whatever it uses. That's fine for small result sets but for larger ones, it would be nice if the database did the sorting/merging.
