Levels in the TOC?

How many numbering levels are supported in the TOC?
In portrait author mode I can see my TOC taking shape as I add Chapters, Sections, and Headings.  Within a Section I now have several TOC entries which I have defined with Heading 1, and these are listed with numbers such as 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 etc where the 2 is the Section and the .3, .4, and .5 are the paragraphs delineated by headings.  But can I create TOC entries as 2.3.1; 2.3.2; 2.3.3?  I don't seem to be able to do so, though I can create indented paragraphs and bulleted lists, and headings defined as Heading 1 or Heading 2 style - however each heading is listed in the TOC as though it were at the same level of indent (for numbering purposes) as every other...
For a well-formatted TOC I need more levels than appears to be supported.  Is there any way to achieve this?
ps: Apple - a proper manual would be nice...  I lost a week on this project because the TOC behaves differently in landscape and portrait modes, and landscape is the default so the TOC appeared not to work as described.  I even reported it as a bug, though of course feedback just disappears into a black hole...  Really, Apple, there is no substitute for a good manual - achieving reasonable productivity depends on it...

It appears to be impossible to do what you want. While you can add any paragraph style to the TOC, there is no way to specify at what level that style should appear. So, if you add Heading1, Heading2, Heading3, Heading4, they all appear at the same single heading level underneath the chapter level, which is useless, of course.

  • Heading 1 level missing from TOC?

    I have this little RH 7 sample project.
    When converting to PDF using 'Printed Documentation Wizard',
    the primary Heading 1 level is NOT included in the MS Word/PDF
    'Table of Contents'.
    I'm not using any MS Word templates, just the project's CSS
    styles.
    Arcrobat PDFMaker settings in MS Word are set to default and
    include Heading 1-9.
    I've searched and searched but I don't know how to include
    this Heading 1 level in the TOC.
    When checking the MS Word 2003 document through Insert
    >> Reference >> Index and Tables, the Heading 1 level
    is missing from the tab 'Table of Contents'.
    When adding the Heading 1 level there through 'Options'
    button, the TOC updates correctly, but I don't know how to include
    this Heading 1 level through RH.
    Sample project
    here
    A note on the sample project:
    You'll see that every topic title associated with TOC book is
    excluded from PDF through conditional build tags.
    This was done so prevent titles from being printed twice in
    PDF.
    For example, in the TOC there's an item titled 'Balance
    sheet', the associated topic Balance_sheet.htm has exactly the same
    title 'Balance sheet'.
    To prevent this title from being printed twice in PDF, the
    topic title was excluded through conditional build tag.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Herman

    I took a copy of the project on the rogue machine, copied it
    to the second machine, ran the printed documentation wizard and
    checked the settings. The result is as expected. I get the TOC with
    the correct headings, the second one in my PDF.
    In the meantime I've also compiled the printed documentation
    on a third PC (with XP + PDF plugin that comes with RoboHelp). The
    result is the wrong TOC, the first one in my PDF.
    > Try generating on the rogue machine to just Word, not
    the PDF. When the document opens in Word instead of reinserting the
    TOC, right click to the right of the TOC and select Update Field.
    Does that correct it?
    I'll try that tomorrow when I have access to that PC.
    Very weird.
    Thanks again Peter.

  • How do you feel about the TOC?

    I'm thinking I might submit enhancement request.
    Issue 1: If slides are grouped, the first level TOC entry does not auto-expand when user navigates into the group. I feel the second level of the TOC should open up automagikally. This is standard with RoboHelp or Articulate.
    Issue 2: Has been discussed and I don't see a workaround. Simply stated, I want the status of a slide set to "complete" (green checkmark) upon entering the slide. Currently, user must click button or clickbox to trigger the status change, or slide must play all the way through. I'd like the user to be able to click the contiue button in the playback control and still have the slide marked complete. Seems like there ought to at least be a status variable to set upon entry but a global setting would be better.

    Hello,
    In CP5 width of the TOC can be controlled in the TOC settings, default and minimum is 250 pixels.
    If text entries are too long, they will appear totally as a rollover (was already so in CP4).

  • Can I set the TOC to display all levels, not just one?

    I'm in RH 8 and using Webhelp.
    When I generate, I have 2 levels of books.
    When I click on a book at level 2, it closes another book that may be open at level 2.
    Is there a way to make all books and pages and all topics display when generated?
    Thank you.

    Hi there
    Unfortunately there is no feature or setting you may enable in RoboHelp that will cause the TOC to initially display in a fully expanded state. You should consider submitting a Wish Form to ask for the option to be added into a future version.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Separating paragraph body text from level 3, 4 & 5 headings in the TOC

    Hi,
    Could anyone help me know how the paragraph body text is separated from level 3, 4, or 5 headings in heading styles?
    The APA Manual, 6th edition says that these level headings are immediately followed by the paragraph body text; but if I do that
    and put the headings in word styles, the text is also added! How do I separate them?
    Thanks.

    If you have been using an old APA template (there is one setup for Word 2003, for example), or you have started from an old document set up for APA styling, then the chances are tht the Heading styles are set up wrongly. In those days you had to do all that
    stuff with hidden paragraph marks etc. You should not have to do that in Word 2010.
    In the old templates, the Heading styles were set up as "Paragraph" styles. You can find out which sort yours are by opening the document you are struggling with, finding the relevant Heading style name in the Home tab, Styles group, right clicking on it
    and selecting "Modify...". For the new type of Heading style, you should see Style Type "Linked (paragraph and character)". In an older template, you will just see "Paragraph".
    In the latter case, when you select the part of the paragraph text that you want to be in the ToC and apply the Heading style, the style wil be applied to the whole paragraph. That's why you used to have to split the paragraph into two, and hide the paragraph
    mark that follows the heading part. But with the correct style definitions, it should work the way I described.
    Another possibility is that you have the correct "linked" styles but they have been disabled. If you click in the box at the bottom right of the Home->Styles group, you should see the list of styles, and there is a box at the bottom that controls that
    behaviour.
    If you are using an old template, then my suggestion is that you start with a new one document o template designed for Word 2010. I'll have a look, but you may have your own sources for that.

  • RHS9 & RH8/Clicking links to topics more than 3 "deep" in the TOC does not open the TOC

    Our IT department recently purchased and installed RoboHelp Server 9. I am publishing two RoboHelp 8 projects to the server using WebHelp Pro output. When I view the projects, I am able to navigate the table of contents without issues, but if I click on a link in a topic that links to another topic that is 3 or more "deep" in the table of contents, the topic will display in the main window but not open its location in the TOC. I am able to navigate the topic in the TOC myself and view it without a problem.
    The behavior we expect when clicking on a link to a topic that has an entry in the TOC is that the TOC will open and highlight the topic as well as open it in the main window. We need this functionality because we use a "recent updates" page and would like our staff to see where a topic is located in the TOC after they click the link to the topic.
    This behavior does not occur with items two levels deep in the TOC or with our current WebHelp output. Using our smaller, 600 topic project, we tried removing all TOC books except for one that went 3 levels deep and then tried to duplicate the behavior - but it worked fine. So, we suspect that it is an issue with RoboHelp Server and the number of topics/TOC entries we have. (Roughly 600 in one project and 1500 in another)
    We have attempted the Adobe fix described here: http://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/kb/books-topics-missing-toc-webhelp.html which results in the same behavior, as well as some new behavior when attempting to access items 3 or more deep in the TOC - the message, "Loading, click here to cancel..." displays and the topic will not load. (Similar to this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4116269#4116269) We've since reinstalled the server, republished the projects and we're back to square one.
    Any thoughts on this behavior? We're at a loss at this point.

    Hi there
    Often, when this issue arises with regular WebHelp, I will advise the following change. Perhaps it will help with WebHelp Pro, I'm not sure. But it's worth trying to see.
    In the Single Source Layout properties for WebHelp, look in the Navigation section and change the Speed Optimization.
    I just checked my WebHelp Pro and really don't see anything similar that jumps out at me for this setting, so I'm guessing the suggestions in that link are possibly a way of doing that.

  • Maybe a bug in the enumerationof the TOC entries?

    Hi,
    I would like to have a table of contents (TOC) with enumerated chapters.
    First I adapted the chapter styles to use indented lists. This provided me with headings such as:
    1. Chapter
    1.1 SubChapter
    2 Chapter
    Then I inserted a TOC. Unfortunately only the heading texts not their numbers were displayed. It looked a little bit like this:
    Chapter
    SubChapter
    Chapter
    As a workaround I added indented lists to the TOC style. This nearly worked. My only problem is that Pages always looses the indention parameter. It is first displayed correctly and after selecting something else the indention is reset to 1. This looks like this:
    1. Chapter
    2. SubChapter
    3. Chapter
    I have the impression that the indention is not set in the TOC style but in the associated heading style. This would clearly be a bug.
    Any help/idea is greatly appreciated!
    Best regards,
    Torsten

    I have the same problem. The only workaround I found: each time before exporting as PDF or printing I would select the TOC entries that need to be indented (starting with the most-indented one) and manually increase the indention by one. Fortunately, Pages automatically selects all TOC entries with the same paragraph style, so it's easy to select all entries that should have the same indention if you use different paragraph styles for the different levels.
    I left some feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html.

  • Don't heading levels convert to TOC?

    I just upgraded to RH7 from RH5. I'm on XP Pro 2002 SP 2, RH
    for Word v 7.0 Build 145. I've got a Word file I'm converting to
    FlashHelp. The word file has headings H1 H2 H3 tagged. I swear, in
    RH5 (it's been a while) when I imported, the topics broke at the
    headings and arranged themselves according to heading level; the
    TOC was indented to three levels where necessary and followed the
    chronological order of content in the Word file. Now in RH7 all the
    topics come in and don't appear in the TOC indented according to
    heading level. Was I hallucinating? I'd check RH5 myself but it no
    longer works on my cptr and Adobe won't support it. Last, I can't
    get the TOC to keep my topics in chronological order. My section A
    has only one level; my section B has three levels, etc and RH wants
    to put all the single-level topics together. Is there a way I can
    get my conversion and my TOC to behave the way I swear it behaved
    in RH5?

    You either use
    the Export PDF function in the Tools panel on Adobe Reader
    do the conversion online after signing in to the https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf site

    is the chartApplet free? can you tell where to get it?
    jarsigner has problems signing classes with non-ascii chars (i used german umlauts in my class names once and this caused the jarsigner to ignore the class files)
    check the requirements of the chartApplet. did you forget to include something? (TOC could be Table-of-Contents?)
    did you find anything interesting in google about "TOC class" ?
    did you try to use another browser on the same machine?

  • Is there an advanced action that will open and close the TOC?

    I like that in CP5, Adobe has allowed users to change the icon associated with opening and closing a layered Table of Contents.  With that said, unfortunately, they show up so small, I can't see what I created.  So, I was wondering, is there an advanced action or action script that I could assign to a button that will allow my users to open/close the TOC?
    Thoughts?
    Eric

    The code that zcarr posted works fine for me. I have been using it for a long time: http://www.cpguru.com/2010/01/14/tutorial-open-close-the-adobe-captivate-toc-from-your-own -button/
    However - it depends on where you use the code. If you use it in an SWF embedded/inserted into your Captivate project then it will work. If you use the code from a Flash shell that loads a Captivate SWF then it wouldn't work since the paths to the functions would be all wrong. The same goes if you use it in a play bar since again the paths would be wrong. The code is still valid though so all that would need to be changed would be the paths to the functions.
    Also the posted code and my link is AS2 code so it wouldn't work in Captivate 5. I'm sure that the above code could be convereted to AS3 but it would require a little "hack" in order to get to the right level of the Captivate SWF so the paths would work. It would probably be easier to build a small widget that would accomplish this if it's for AS3 projects.

    Can you please confirm me the following steps...
    Log in to the EM console, Expand soa-infra (soa_server1) , go to the partition where your composite is been deployed, Click on your composite, On the right, click on the dropdown Settings and choose Composite Audit Level. you can choose to set the Audit Level for this composite. If you choose Inherit, it will take the settings to what the server is being set to. Otherwise, we can override it by choosing Off, Production, or Development.
    Make sure your setting for that composite is not Off, keep inherit or production or development.

  • Displaying the TOC of a RH6 project in RH8

    As a companion question to my other recent post re RH6 to RH8 TOC, specifically:
    If I have a RH6 project which I open in RH8, how do I display the TOC of the RH6 project without creating a brand new one so I can view and edit it?

    Apologies if I have misunderstood your question but just try double clicking on the TOC file that has been updated from RH6 when you opened the project in RH8. You'll find it in the Project Set-up pod.
