Matching Chapter Numbering in Table of Contents (TOC)

I have applied the <$chapnum> and <n+> building blocks to the paragraph styles used in my TOC, but instead of displaying the correct chapter numbers, every chapter section starts with "1".
Could someone please tell me what I need to do in order to match the TOC numbering with the book numbering?
Thanks in advance,
Douglas

Douglas,
I assume that the chapter numbering works correct through all the chapters, and only the TOC numbering is wrong. Correct?
In this case you shouldn't have an own (independent) numbering definition in your TOC paragraph styles, but READ the original numbering from the respective paragraphs/chapters. You do this by adding the <$paranum> variable to the TOC reference page, so the entry/entries there should read equal or similar to:
<$paranum> (Tab) <$paratext> (Tab) <$pagenum>
Define the tabulators for the TOC paragraph styles as if there was a numbering definition, and the number read from the chapters will appear correctly formatted in the TOC.

Aligning chapter numbers in table of contents

Hello,
In tables of contents, Pages doesn't align the chapter numbers correctly. I get this (left alignment) :
8.
9.
10.
and I need this (alignment on decimal point) :
8.
9.
10.
Do you know how to do it ? Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Pierre
Mavericks 10.9.1, Pages 4.3

If that is the beginning of the line you will have a problem as you need to use an inset decimal or right hand tab and precede the text with a Tab.
You may have to export the T.O.C. as text, bring it back in and format it manually.

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?

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 create a table of contents (TOC) linking to specific pages of different (multiple) PDFs

Hi All,
I would like to create clickable Table of Contents (TOC) that can lead to a sub clickable TOC that would lead to a specific page of different PDFs within a folder.
Is that possible?
Secondly, is is possible to create a search box that upon typing a specific word (not related to text within the PDFs), that word to be linked to a specific page of a particular PDF out of many within a folder?
To make it more clear, I have a database of specifications of equipment and drawings of a building, all in multiple PDF files. I would like to be able to unify all those PDFs and if I type the room number of the building to be presented with a menu of choces pointing to services assosiated with that room, being elctrical power drawings, lighting drawings or drawings of Air Conditioning and Ducting associated with that room. So I type a room number, then I get a menu of Power, Lights, Fire Alarm, or Ducting all associated with that room, then if I click Fire Alarm to be directed straight to the drawing within a PDF related to that room.
Thanks

I would say: Try and Error. Create a copy of your document and unmark in the copied document in the document inspector all boxes for the TOC. Then mark them again. Maybe you should also delete the paragraph styles and mark them again. If that doesn't work, try to copy the complete text of your document to a new created one. Maybe that works.
Good luck!
P.S.: If that doesn't work look here. Maybe this helps.

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]

Mahesh

Right align all numbers in table of contents

One of the entries in my table of contents has the page number right beside the entry. The rest of the page numbers are right aligned.
When I "Show Invisibles", an arrow is in the single space between the entry and the page number. For the remaining entries, it is in the middle of the page.
I've tried redoing the heading on the page in question about 100 times. I cannot figure out what is different about that heading that is screwing the ToC up.
Thanks.

Hey
I'm really struggling with my pages as I have created a table of contents for iWork09 but it's defaulted for the pages numbers to sit directly after the chapter rather than face the opposing side like your picture shows. I tried changing the tabs and then the text layout from left to across the page but all it does it push the numbering to the next line (for the longer titles) and push the numbers across (for the shorter named titles). I can't even get the lines to appear so that the chapter title appears, then some dots leading to the number. Any ideas?

FrameMaker Table of Contents TOC Help Needed

I am working on a book using Frame Maker 8 and I am trying to generate a table of contents for the first time.
The book has several chapters, and I am able to generate a TOC with the Chapter titles without a problem.
Within the chapters, there are outlines. When I generate the TOC with the Heading1Start and Heading1 (marked with roman numerals in the body text), it works fine too.
But then when I add the Heading2Start and Heading 2 (marked with capital letters A, B, C in the body text), it generates the TOC list with only the headings and page numbers but without the capital letters for the paragraph numbers.
Basically, I'm getting something that looks like this:
Chapter 1 ....... 7
I. Overview ... 13
Introduction 13
when what I need is this:
Chapter 1 ....... 7
I. Overview ... 13
A. Introduction 13
How do I fix this?
I apologize if this is a simple topic of if the answer is elsewhere. I searched for an answer in a few places but did not find one.

have you used the <$paranum> building block on your TOC reference page?
I explain this and other building blocks on p.372 of my book. The <$paranum> functionality is the same in FM11 as in FM8.

Creating a Table of Content (toc)

Hi
I am very new with Output designer, so please dont mind if it is a silly question.
I have to create a PDF report which has around 15-20 sections. I need a toc (table of content) at first page and at the specified position with page number for each section.
All the sections has some header and detail subforms, so pagenumber is not known at the begining for each sections. I am using xml file as the data file.
So can i use JFPREAMBLE to get the page number for different subforms, and write that on to the toc subform,
i did lot of mind storming but not able to resolve my problem, please help.
thanks and regards
nitin

Hello,
I was able to create a TOC for a recent customer in the UK.
Took a lot of work, but it worked.
You will have to create a TDF to get the data that you require to be on the TOC, but this is quite easy. The best way is to get the TDF to output the result as a seperate file, and then get the orginal data to call the file as the first thing that you do by using the ^file command
If you would like an example please drop me a line at [email protected]

Formatting chapter titles in table of contents

I am finishing up my dissertation and am having trouble with the TOC. My chapter titles are usually a couple of lines long: e.g.
Chapter 1
Blah Blah Blah
Blah Blah Blah Blah
It looks nicer on separate lines like this. But when I insert a TOC, it's like this:
Chapter 1 11
Blah Blah Blah 11
Blah Blah Blah Blah 11
In other words, Pages seems to think these are separate headings even though it's one chapter title. Is there a way to get around this problem? I tried reducing the margins, but you can only do it for all of the chapter lines, and what I want is "Chapter X" on one line and the rest of the text on the next line and possibly following lines. How can I adjust the appearance of the TOC? Thanks.

WC,
Try breaking the lines with CTRL-Return rather than with a regular Return.

Include icon graphics in table of contents (TOC)?

Question
Is it possible to have icons (i.e. inline anchored frames) automatically appear in the TOC?
(We translate into 15+ languages, so adding the graphics manually to the TOC after it's generated isn't really a viable option.)
Scenario
In our manuals, we include a troubleshooting section explaining what different warning symbol icons mean. (Kind of like the various check engine lights you see in cars.) It'd be nice to show the actual icons in the TOC, to hopefully make that info a little easier to find.
We do include the icons in the actual headings in the book using shrink-wrapped anchored frames, but each anchored frame gets replaced with a space in the auto-generated TOC. (Which is what we would want in most cases, just not this particular instance.)
Specs
We're working in unstructured FM 11.
Thanks in advance,
Jason Nichols

If you are willing to have a separate paragraph format for each variation of icon, you might be able to use the Frame Above property of each corresponding xxxTOC tag to bring in its icon, using the negative-space Frame-Above hack that Arnis described lately at:
Are circled numbered steps possible?
This is going to pollute the Paragraph Catalog of course.
I would be tempted instead to use some font rendering tool to convert your icons to character glyphs in Unicode Private Use Area E000-F8FF*. Then the icons are just text brought in with each heading. Note: switching Character Formats in a heading breaks the automatic hypertext in the TOC. See:
Page Number color in TOC
The link termination problem could be avoided by using an open license Unicode text font that is similar to your preferred heading font, and adding the icon glyphs to it in Private Use Area. Then there is no character format change in the affected TOC entries. Of course, turning your icons into font glyphs presumes you have vector art for them that is easily converted to outlines, otherwise it's going to be a major effort.
* I would avoid Private Use Areas A or B, due to being on Planes 15 and 16 (larger than 32-bit code points).

How to eliminate random periods in some Table of Contents TOC listings?

Pages '09 ver.4.1
Has anyone had this problem and found a solution?
Thank you!

The original document was an imported simple(!) Word file without any TOC . . .
I created a guest user account on my computer and started from the beginning with a new document in Pages. The problem did not show up. TOC looked as expected.
Logging back in to my regular user account on my computer I created two new Pages docs and TOC's also looked fine.
I created a new Pages doc and attempted to copy/paste body text and objects from my original doc imported from Word and the TOC period problem came back.
Seems to be a strong suggestion here of a connection with Word corruption.
I will now begin to hand type the text into a new Pages doc . . . it's only 5000+ words or so . . . I'm tempted to say wryly, "thank YOU, Microsoft", but not being 100% sure of that, I'll just be quiet and continue typing . . .
