Nothing added to the table of contents

I'm using the "Biography" template (portrait only) in iBooks Author. According to Help,
"By default, the table of contents includes all paragraphs in the book that use the Heading 1 and Heading 2 style, but you can include whichever styles you like."
So I paste some text into the first two pages of my new book. I select a line of text, show the Styles drawer, and click Heading 1 or Heading 2.
I choose Table of Contents from the sidebar, and there's nothing added to the table of contents. I preview it on my iPad. Same problem.
Am I doing something wrong?

How can I include, in the table of content, a title that I have put on a shape?

Hello all,
1. I have a table of content
2. I have added shapes
3. I wrote text (titles. subtitles) on the shapes
4. They do not appear in the table of content.
5. They only appear in the table of content if they are not on a shape.
Pages 5.5.2
Can you help?
Law

Hi Law,
Text in a shape or a text box will not feature in the table of contents.
To get a colour behind your titles, type them into your document (not a shape). Format as Heading or some other paragraph style the TOC will recognise.
Select the title text and Format Panel > Text > Font > Gearwheel > Advanced Options.
Choose Character Fill Color and choose a colour from the palette (left) or colour circle (right).
Example Titles (all on the same page for a smaller screen shot).
Chapter 3 (in a coloured Text Box or Shape) does not appear in the TOC:
Hint for cheats :
To give the titles a wider Character Fill Colour, add some Tab characters before and after.
Regards,
Ian.

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.

Citing Markers in the Table of Contents

I have created a document with a Running Header/Footer variable and a Marker1 definition in the master pages. The paragraph style for the Running Header/Footer is "Chap". I would like to recall this tag so that it appears in the table of contents. When I try to reference it in the table of contents by using the "Chap" tag, nothing happens.
My question is: Is there any way to pull the data from the marker variable as a "Chapter Title" into the table of contents. If so, how?
Thanks a million!
Hill

OK, Hillary, is "Chap" the name of the para tag that is only in the header of the master page?
Or is it the name of the para tag in the text flow that formats the name or number of the chapter?
If the former, it'll never show up in the TOC because it only exists on a Master page.
To be listed in the TOC, the tag needs to be in the main text flow.
Most of the time, when people set up a book file, would use one tag to format the chapter title. Then they would include the name of that tag when they set up the TOC. To put the name of the chapter in the header or footer, you'd format a Running H/F 1 (or any other number) so that it contains a string like <$paratext[ChapterTitle]>

Acrobat Pro 9.0 freezes when viewing/scrolling through the table of contents of a document

I am hoping someone can help me or has experienced the same problem I'm about to describe. I belong to the technical publications group of a fairly large company and I review a lot of PDF documents. I just installed Acrobat 9.0.0 (via CS4 Design Standard) and I've noticed on larger documents where there's a full page or several pages worth of Table of Contents, Acrobat 9.0.0 seems to freeze up when I begin scrolling through the TOC. For example, if I want to use the Text Edit tools or use a sticky note, when I press on an icon, Acrobat will freeze for a good 10 seconds, then will allow you to press the icon. It tends to freeze each time I want to make my next edit or even pressing the up/down arrow buttons to go to the next page. Once I get through the TOC pages, Acrobat seems to function normally--no freezes.
Has anyone experienced this? Would appreciate any kind of advice on how to fix--perhaps there's a patch or update?
I didn't experience any of this using Acrobat 8.0--I never had any real problems with Acrobat until 9.0.0.

Your issue may not be related to a difference between v8 and 9.
I have not had this problem on my computers, but a coworker had this issue. For many documents that others were able to open and scroll through without issue, his computer was freezing and unfreezing. IT determined his graphics capabilities were not able to keep up with the requirements of working with larger documents and gave his computer a RAM upgrade and a new graphics card. Particularly during scrolling, higher demands are made on the computer to graphically render and re-render page content. Documents giving him problems before became a non-issue.
A new graphics card is obviously a $$$ solution, but you might want to check to see if your RAM meets the minimum requirements and check to see if there are any program updates (Help > Check for Updates).
I have had an issue of pdfs freezing, but not specifically in the table of contents areas. If your document has pages with images that have an unusually high number of layers, it may affect the ability to work effectively in the document.

Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

How do I get the table of contents to toggle? I opened it while reading one book I had checked out from my library, but it is still open when I start another book. I am using Adobe 4 and Windows 8.1 on my PC.

How do I get the table of contents to toggle? It has remained open since I opened it while reading two books ago. Thanks for the help.

Thank you for your advice. I followed your directions, but came up with the same results. However, I did discover that whenever I open up the iPhoto Library that is already existing on my MacBook a certain set of pictures shows up. But then when I open up the iPhoto Library from the Hard drive another set of pictures shows up. BUT not ALL of my pictures are showing up on the iPhoto Library from the hard drive. At least the last two years of pictures are not showing up?! Actually, it appears that all the pictures are there from when I started using iPhoto about 5 years ago up until around the time that I got my iMac desktop computer and started using that (2 years ago). I have noticed that more recent videos I have made are showing up in a folder on the hard drive, but will not appear when I open up iMovie?! Any ideas on how to access my pictures from the last 2 years off of the hard drive???

How to use different images in the Table of Contents?

Hello everyone, I am creating an iBook about Architecture and I would like to have different images for each Chapter in the Table of Contents... But when I add an image it automatically appears on all the other chapters, too. What am i doing wrong?

You drag the image to the screen and it replaces the placeholder image.
When you hover over the current image, don't you get the message "this is a placeholder . . ." under your mouse pointer?
I think the documentation states that the new image must be jpg or png, but a Photoshop image seems to work too.
In portrait mode, only one image shows at the top of the list of chapters, and that can be changed too.
But in landscape mode, all of the separate chapter images can be accessed by clicking the littel dots at the bottom of the screen when at the TOC page.

Is it possible to delete the table of contents in a pdf but keep the bookmarks?

Is it possible to delete the table of contents in a pdf but keep the bookmarks?

If the TOC is located on certain pages, you can simply delete those (from the Pages panel).
Make sure it doesn't screw up with how your bookmarks work, though...

Is there a way to export the Table of Content?

We need to insert audio files to each slide. There are 127 slides in total, and we need to name each audio file using the corresponding slide's names. To do so, I think to have the Table of Content exported is a good way. Is there a way to do this?
we use Captivate 5.5.
Thank you.

Hi there
The TOC is unique for each project. I fail to see how an ability to export one TOC and import into another project would help in any way.
Cheers... Rick

How to get only partial text of a paragraph into the table of content?

Hi guys,
currently I'm working on a manuscript based on the publication manual of the American Psychological Association.
Unfortunately, there is some sort of heading that's placed right in front of further text. Here an example:
+This is my heading.+ Now ordinary text formatted differently should follow.
Does anyone here know, how to get the text of the heading (but not the following text) into the table of content? For as far as I know I can't format the heading as a different paragraph than the following text.
By the way, I use pages'08.
Thanks for your help

Hi Dennis,
thanks for your suggestion, unfortunately I already tried that and it didn't work. I have created several unique styles. Problem is, I need two diferent styles in *one paragraph* - one style for the "heading", which is consistent to the APA manual not an own paragraph (sorry, not my idea...), and another style for the following text. As my example above shows, the heading is followed by usual text and I may not press return after the heading and switch to a new paragraph..
It has to look exactly like this:
+heading in italics.+ Now heading is followed by usual text without changing the paragraph or starting a new line. Blurb blurb blurb whatsoever blurb blurb. The text goes on an on and an on you see.
I can't format the heading differently than the text (because if I try, the whole paragraph is formatted this way) and so I can't add just the heading to the TOC. Do you see what my problem is? Got any other suggestion?

Change the table of contents in Adobe Presenter 9

It appears that Presenter automatically creates the tables of contents for a Powerpoint presentation based on the slide title. Is there a way to modify the name that appears with a TOC navigation without changing the slide title?
I would also like to know if it's possible to structure the TOC so that there are main topics and sub topics. For example, in Captivate, you can modify the TOC by clicking on the arrows in the menu to push categories under one another, like an outline:
Main Topic
     Subtopic Slide 1
     Subtopic Slide 2
Main Topic 2
     Subtopic Slide 1
     Subtopic Slide 2

Presenter doesn't have the same functionality for the TOC as Captivate. There is some wizardry that can be done if you want to adjust the look of the slide list.
Work around was discussed in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1970468#1970468

Adjusting page numbering in the Table of Contents

I have a question regarding adjusting page numbering in the table of contents. I have manually adjusted my page numbering to start at page 3, which is now called page 1. But my table of contents still show this page as page 3, while I want it to be shown as page 1.
How do I do this?
I tried to find an answer somewhere on this forum, but I couldn't find one. Neither could I find a solution in the help file.
I hope you understand my question. I also included the document, which might be of help. Thank you!

This answer assumes that your document uses the Default page style for physical pages 1-3. You are going to need two different page styles to accomplish what you want. (I'm guessing you have used a page number offset of -2 to get your physical page 3 numbered as 1 and this simply will not work in the TOC.)
Put your cursor in the Title page (physical page 1) and open the Stylist (F11). Click the Page icon (4th from left) then click the New Style From Selection icon (2nd from right). Give it a name like 'Body'. Before you close the Stylist double click on Default just to make sure you did not change the style of the 1st page.
While you are still on the 1st page click into the footer and remove the page number field assuming you do not want it.
Put you cursor in the FIRST (1st) paragraph of the 3rd page and do **Format > Paragraph > Text Flow tab. In the Breaks section, check the Enable box, if not already checked, then check the With Page Style box, select the Body style from the drop down menu and set the page number to 1.
If the page number field is still in the footer on this page then delete it and insert it again. It should now show 1.
Click into the TOC, right click and select Update Index/Table.
Just in case you have trouble translating this to your version of SO I have fixed your document and have attached it.
* *To change to a new page style while writing your document do Insert > Manual Break > Page Break and select the new style. If you want a new page number you can check that box and set the new number.

The Table of Contents picks up selected named Styles in the text like Head 1, 2 etc.
Have you actually applied the styles?
