No index in my Table of Contents

Framemaker 9 > Table of Contents
My book includes a TOC (table of contents) and IOM (index) file.
All of the chapters in my book have a chapter title tagged to the "Title" tag. The last "chapter" in my book is the IOM file. In the IOM file, I have a "Title" tag, with the value of "Index".
When I generate my TOC, all of the chapter titles in my book are listed, however, the Index does not get included in the TOC, even though I have the "Title" tag included in my TOC setup (see below).
So how do I get the Index to appear in the table of contents?
Thanks.
Sam

>> Make sure that the first line of the index file has the string "Index"
>> with the Title paratag applied to that line.
Does it make any difference if this task has alread been done in the Master page "First"? I already had the first line in the "First" Master Page associated with a Title paragraph tag, containing value "Index". See snapshot below:

Need to Export a hypertext index list or Table of Content when saving as pdf

I have a catalog that is being converted from print to web and will be exported as a pdf and then converted to a flip book using a flash template. The flash template does have this capability and pdf files can and do import table of content text for navigating the pdf document. What I need to do is to take the Table of Contents list from the catalog (which I have tagged with hyperlinks) and have it appear in the pdf as a text-based table of contents with hyperlinks. I saw one post discussing "InDesign's index feature" but don't see that anywhere in my app. I am using CS3 currently. (been told to stay away from 4 til bugs are worked out of .ai and dreamweaver).

You've stayed away from CS4 so long that CS5 will be shipping in the few weeks.
As for your question, I'm not really sure what you're asking. Who's doing this converting for you?

How do i create a table of contents?

I need clear, step-by-step directions. The help section is not well-written, and the video tutorial was useless for me. My project is a recipe booklet with about seven section headings, each with about five recipes. None of the Apple people, not on the phone nor in the store, have been able to help me. The best the tech at the store came up with was a TOC listing ingredients or random words (within some of the recipes) with page numbers.

1. The text you want to index must be in the main text area (between the margins) of a Word Processing document. It can not be in floating text boxes, Layout documents have only floating text boxes so can not be indexed.
2. You must apply named Styles to the text you want to index, from the Styles Drawer:
Menu > View > Show Styles Drawer
You can make your own, they don't have to be Apple's ready named styles.
3. Click in the front of the document before the text you want to index:
Menu > Insert > Table of Contents
4. Select from the list of styles in Inspector > Document > TOC that you want indexed

Which Acrobat 9 product? Table of Contents & Index "jump" to page

I would like to create a document in Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac (version 12.1.0) that will have a table of contents as well as an index. When I convert this document into a PDF format, I would like the table of contents as well as the index to be "active", in that the user will be able to click on a topic or index reference, and then jump automatically to that page in the PDF document. The PDF document will be loaded on my website.
Which Adobe Acrobat 9 product will provide this functionality?
Thanks!

Margie,
There is not product that will do this for Microsoft word from Adobe on
a Mac. If MS Word 2008 has its own pdf capabilities, you might see if it
will do it on its own. BTW, there is only one Acrobat product on the
Mac---Acrobat Pro. There are several versions for Windows.

Book with Table of Contents and Index

I want to write a genealogical book over 100 pages long, including photos, charts, and lots of text. My last book was on a PC using Adobe PageMaker, and I liked its ability to create a Table of Contents and an Index, both of which adjusted automatically as you added pages in the middle. An index is essential to genealogy, as people are mentioned in different places. To put a name in the Index, you selected the name, entered different possible versions of the name, and from a menu picked "Place in Index". When ready, you selected "Create Index" and it went through and picked the words that you had marked, noted what page they were on, and created a neat index. I need something like that for the Mac.
I tried Adobe InDesign on the PC, and found that it was mostly for graphics and fancy lettering and did not have a good Table of Contents or Index function. Mac's Pages program does not seem to have any indexing function at all, and gets very difficult to use as the document gets large.
Is there any Mac program which can write a serious book?

That is not a feature of iPhoto
And iPhoto books are limited to 100 pages (50 sheets of paper)
You can create custom pages in other software and print to PDF using the send PDF to iPhoto function to create an image in iPhoto to place in your book

Internet Exploer 11 suddenly isn't showing my Table of Contents or Index for RoboHelp 10 output

I generated a WebHelp project with Adobe RoboHelp 10 last November. I had no problems with the TOC or index. Whenever I try to view output today, IE won't show the left pane with the list of topics in the Table of Contents. It also doesn't show index tags. I have no problem viewing this same output in Mozilla Firefox. I just set Firefox to be my default browser b/c it is so frustrating that I can't immediately view changes to my help project. Has anyone else experienced issues with IE 11? I even cleared cookies and the cache, and I still can't see my TOC and index. This never happened before.

Hi,
Thanks to the forums I have found useful patches for RoboHelp 10 (sample links are below). I find that even after installing the latest AdobePatchInstaller.exe fix for RoboHelp 10 that I have to overwrite the whutil.js file in my !SSL! WebHelp_PRO output folder every single time I need to check changes in my output in the browser. I just want to confirm that there is no better workaround than manually copying whutil.js every time I generate my output to check it. Thanks.

Character override in Table of Contents and Index

Am using a Stone Sans Open Type phonetic font for several characters in headings and in index markers. When Table of Contents or Index generates, the phonetic characters are not displaying in the override font. All characters display in the base font, and the characters that have the phonetic font override display as errors. Have tried using a Character Style in the heading to change those characters (and making sure the same Character Style is in the Index document), and have tried using manual overrides to change those characters. Same results. Any suggestions?

@KH Allstars – What kind of error do you see displayed? Missing glyphs?
One possible solution would be a GREP Search/Replace or a GREP Style, that is applying the right Character Style for the phonetic forms.
We need two things to make that work:
1. A "yes" to the question:
Are all Unicode values of the phonetic font distinct from the Unicode values of the regular font?
If yes, we could:
2. Make a GREP representation of a list, or better: a range of Unicode values and apply a Character Style to it, when found. Could be a GREP Style in a Paragraph Style.
To test this, just apply the base font to an already well formatted text with the phonetic font. If ALL glyphs showing as missing we are on the save side and could check for their Unicode range(s).

Create a an Table of content or an Index page in report in Oracle BI Publisher

I want to create an Index page for my multi page report in Oracle BI Publisher. Any help would be appreciated.
I am using MS word 2010 for creating the template (*.rtf file). Please let me know if any more details are required.
I am creating a rtf template for generating a report in oracle BI Publisher. The report displays the details for all the products used by the customer. Report contains 1 product per page. All the products have same template.
What I want is to create an Index page, which displays the product name and the page number of the report in which it is generated.
For eg. Customer Papa Johns uses 10 products. The report generated will contain below details: 1st Page -> Cover Page containing Basic details of customer.
2nd Page -> Index page containing the product names and the page numbers
3rd page: Product 1 details
4th page: Product 2 Details .
and so on.
INDEX
Product Name Page No.
Anchovies 4
Apple Topping 5
Bacon 6
Barbecue Sauce 7
Barbecue Sauce2 8
Chicken Topping 9
Dough 10
Please note that the number of product will be variable(may increase or decrease), hence there may be case when the index page takes more that 1 or 2 pages just to print the product names and their respective page numbers.

Hi Alex,
Many thanks for replying.
I followed the link, but unable to get correct output.. I have shared the template earlier. I can share the template once again.
It would be grateful if you give me share the working template with table of content.

Table of Contents vanishes when trying to update or regenerate in CS6

I'm working with InDesign CS6 on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
This is an old, legacy document. Today, I needed to remove two pages, so of course, I need to update my table of contents and index. I had no problems with the index - it regenerated just fine. The TOC is another matter. I clicked Layout > Update Table of Contents. I got the message stating that the contents was updated. However, what actually happened was the TOC text vanished! And, it actually is gone because I can see two empty paragraph markers where the TOC used to be. I've tried regenerating it instead of doing the update. Same result - it's gone.
I'm still fairly new to InDesign, so I'm not sure what I can do to troubleshoot this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sounds like ID doesn't think there are any paragraphs with the style names you've selected for inclusion.
But I'm not a fan of direct conversion of legacy files because these sorts of things, or worse, happen a lot. Try this: Remove minor corruption by exporting

How do I create multiple TOC's (Tables of Contents) in one Pages document?

I'd like to have multiple TOC's (Tables of Contents) in one document. This is useful for me because I'd like to have a TOC for the regular chapters, then a TOC for the procedures, then a TOC for the tables in the document (it's a tech manual that I am writing). How can I do this? Thanks for any help you can render, and have a nice day!

If you haven't used a paragraph style it can't create a TOC but you get the blue box with the message.
Paragraph used.
It has nothing to do if there is one main TOC or several smaller TOC to do.
It isn't true that you can only have one TOC in a document. Use styles for your titles and headings. I do and it works fine without section breaks.
You also need to tick which tile and heading you want in the TOCs in the Document Inspector > TOC
Did that.
Thanks to Yvan's quoting from the User Guide, I see where it says each TOC only indexes the material up until the next TOC. Since I had them follow each other, that is why they had no content.
Still it defeats the objective of indexing different material throughout the document if all you get is what is between the TOCs.

How do I create a Table of Contents in InDesign CS6 for print that easily converts to epub?

How do I create a Table of Contents in InDesign CS6 for a print book that easily converts to epub?
Can anyone point me to a link for a step-by-step (not a video) on setting up all the elements of a print book properly (pages, table of contents and index) so they will convert and reflow perfectly from print to epub in InDesign CS6. This is not about building an ebook from ground up, but taking 50 backlisted print books (converted from old versions of Quark to InDesign) that now need to be converted to epub formats.
OR could someone point me to the link in the Adobe InDesign CS6 support that explains how to create a Table of Contents for a print book (5.5" x 8.5", 288 pages), one that will convert when the file is converted to ePub (for MAC OSX)?
Just downloaded the 706 page inDesign CS6 reference manual from Adobe <http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf> but there's not even a search feature on the pdf file.
Up until this week, we have only done print books, creating the TOC the old fashioned way, as a fixed page, comprised of two columns: page numbers and chapters/subject. The files I have created are taken by our printer and printed beautifully.
However, when I convert the same book to epub in CS6, the character and paragraph styles converted beautifully - but everything else is all over the place! The table of contents is on different pages, the columns split apart. That goes for the page contents as well - everything is all over the place. when it's converted to a pdf -- total perfection. Never any problems converting with perfection to pdf format and reading those on the various readers.
(Thank you so much in advance for any help).

<http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf> Adobe Digital Reader does have a search feature for reading pdfs. Found the TOC instructions on page 176 of 706 pages.

Do I need Debenu PDF Aerialist 12 as a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat in order to make a Table of Content to an existing PDF

Dear colleagues at this forum,
This is my question, i have a big PDF file, 341 pages, another 500 pages, I want to make a table of content, and I read that this Program Debenu PDF Aerialist 12 as a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat does provide this solution, which allows you to quickly build a table of content, however the program is expensive at close to five hundred dollars, i wonder why has not Acrobat Professional put this service included in the program, if one can make a solution of Table of Content and Index, this would be great. Does Acrobat have this function already or do you think that I must buy this program. Yes one can make a table of contents using word program then entering it to the PDF file and linking each line of the table of contents with the relevant page, but this would take a long time, and the solution provided by Debenu sounds like good. I am looking for your advice as i do not know much in this field.
Best regards,
Bachar

Acrobat does not have this built in. Normally, the table of contents is prepared at the same time as the document, perhaps in Word, which will use heading styles to do it automatically. Then this is converted to PDF. It is very unusual to do this work late with a PDF, I guess this is why it is not a core Acrobat feature.

After reset Mail hangs w/spinning ball on "Reading table of contents"

This problem is on a 17" monitor Power PC G4, 256mb DDR SDRAM.iMac, half ball bottom, with Mail, with Systems 10.3.9
After Reset, Mail is hanging with the spinning beach ball on "Reading table of contents." Quite a few emails are being retrieved and placed in the Dock before the hang, and Mail responds to mouse commands up to the "hang." Then a Force Quit is the only way to proceed. Other programs run OK, with Mail "hung."
The reason for the Reset is that my daughter reads "fan fiction," and can go through a hundred pages in an hour, and the computer gets so plugged up that it takes FIVE MINUTES to retrieve, then display another Safari window. Empty Cache does not help. So, to get things back to normal, a reset is required. Something went wrong on this reset.
This happened once before, possibly with OS-X 10.2, and I was advised to delete a file somewhere deep in Systems, and Mail apparently made a "new" file and all was fine from then on. My "guess" is that Mail then makes a new "table of contents."
Anybody know what file to delete? Or any other advice? At the moment, I am getting Mail with another IMac, with System 10.2
iMac 17" "half ball bottom" 1 GHZ PowrPc G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hello Jean.
When you use the term "reset", are you referring to a
computer restart?
On this PowerPC with 10.3.9, what is the hard drive
capacity and available free space?
If the problem Inbox mailbox is for a POP type
account, with the Mail.app quit and using the Finder
go to Home > Library > Mail > this account named
folder (named by the user name and incoming mail
server for the account) > INBOX.mbox.
Move the INBOX.mbox to the Desktop.
Launch Mail and if successful, a new (and empty)
INBOX.mbox will be created automatically by Mail
within this account named folder when receiving the
next message with this account.
This should allow the Mail.app to function properly
again while working on the old INBOX.mbox move to the
Desktop to recover the existing messages.
Control-click on the old INBOX.mbox moved to the
Desktop and at the menu window that appears, select
Show Package Contents.
List the package content file names and size of
each here.
I have had the same problem as Jean - did what you advised and now find mail runs find but need to rescue the old mail.
This is the package content of my old inbox:
content index 36 kb
content_index-computername.local-372 10.9 MB
info.plist 4 kb
mbox 939.1 MB
tableofcontents 1.5 MB
hope you can help me...

PDF table of contents spanning multiple PDF files - is it possible?

Question for Acrobat Experts:
Question 1: Is it possible for a PDF file to contain a "left-hand-side" index/table of contents that includes the contents from itself AND other PDF files?
I have a set of documentation in 10 separate pdf "books". However, I want users to be able to see the table of contents for all 10 books, even if they only have one book. Also, if they click a topic from another book, that other book (pdf file) should open.
Is that possible to do using Acrobat? (and if so, which version?)
Question 2: Is there a way for the all-encompasing Table of Contents to be generated real-time and always be accurate, (even if the user gets a new version of one of the "books", but not the others?)
We want to be able to slip-stream one book at a time to end-users, but have the TOC be accurate at all times.. Not sure if PDF files can do this. I believe CHM files can.
Thank you!

Question 1: Yes.

No index in my Table of Contents
