Pages - TOC , TOC is displayed through out the document

I have a 200 plus page document on Pages, with photos; a book. I've entered titles and subtitles and when I inert TOC, the new TOC appears but it splays all over the document pages, has repeated page numbers and is generally unusable.
MAC friends have mentioned that Pages has a problem with TOC. However, if I start the TOC sooner in the document, say on page 90, it works fine. So I'm looking for what's different between page 90 and page 221. Why does TOC not work as it should?

Peter. Thank you, but... I did try insert TOC at the beginning of the document, placing the curser just before the first Title, on page one. The TOC arrives but it is mixed in with the existing document text for around 24 pages. Text -TOC -Text... Jumbled together.
I go no further because, I don't want my document stuck in this mixed up form. Also many paragraphs get numbered, even though they were not checked in the TOC box. I am using a two column format for the document, with some pages all text boxes, other pages all two column text.
So I undue, and try some other correction. This is with three items checked in the TOC; Title, Heading 1 and sub title. Each page of my document has one or two of these styles on it, in the body of the page, as you mentioned. I think I am following your instructions, they seem correct, but TOC is still dicey. Puzzled.

  • How to organize the context object through out the application process

    Hi,
    Here in my application is using the following steps for a process.
    - Login
    - Search
    - Update
    - Logout
    In those above steps, Login, Search, and Update actions are touching to database/LDAP every time. In each time, Im creating new Context object, I think this is a bad approach. When I hit the login, I need to get the connection object and use that for rest of the actions(search and update).
    So can we organize the single context object through out the application? And where do we need to close the Context object?

    Don't worry about it. The provider will reuse connections behind the scenes. They're not tied directly to Contexts.

  • Bookmarks are saved yet after using the page icon is still displayed instead of the actual icon for the website. I have followed the directions for "Favicons do not display".

    My bookmarks, on a HP Pavilion dv-7-2273cl notebook, are saved yet the page icon is still displayed after using the bookmark instead of the actual icon for the website. I have followed the directions for "Favicons do not display" without any success. This problem is not experienced on my much older Gateway desktop.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Page number to get displayed only when the page count is more than 1

    Hi Gurus,
    My requirement is to print page numbers ONLY if the page count is more than 1 ,i.e. if the data getting displayed in 1 page only then don't print "Page n of m" but if it is getting displayed in more than 1 page then display "Page n of m" on TOP right corner.
    I selected "Page n of m" and it creates 3 fields in object hierarchy i.e TextField CurrentPage, TextField PageCount and Static Text field Pages.
    I go to the ready:layout of PageCount object, and use below script:
    this.rawValue = xfa.layout.pageCount(); 
    if (this.rawValue == 1) {
    this.parent.Pages.presence     = "invisible";
    I looked at the message Page number not to display but it doesnot resolve my problem.
    Please help me out.
    Regards
    Ajay

    Hello Ajay,
    Script do not work for TextFields.  to get the page numbers displayed.  Select Text field from library and Go to Object Pallete, Value tab and select "Calculated - Read Only" in Type and choose Runtime property.  There you can find the Number of Pages.
    Once this is the text field, you can write script on it. 
    If(this.rawValue == 1)
      this.presence = "invisible"
    similarly write script for total number of pages, but make sure that variable is accessed properly.
    Please let me know, if you still see some issues with it.
    Thanks,
    Rakesh

    My MacBook pro mid 2012 doesn't seem to have a "save as" function, so I can't seem to save multiple page pdf's together after moving thumbnails into the sidebar. It only saves the first page.
    I do have a 2008 version of Microsoft Office installed to save money, but that shouldn't affect things. I can't figure out the "rename" function either. Help?

    Oh, and I also reset my NVRAM, my computer hasn't frozen again yet, so I'm not sure if it has made a difference.

  • HT2506 In pages how can I link text within the document? I can find a bookmark option and links only allows me to link to a web page

    Hi all,
    This is my first time using this discussion site! Any help would be great, as I am getting very frustrated with pages!
    What I am trying to do is link text at the bottom of a document to a page at the beginning of the document. I can't find a bookmark option adn when I clink insert link it only provides an options to link to a web page. Help! thanks

    Bookmarks are missing (sadly) and with them, the ability to create an in document link.
    I was looking for this feature in a Table of Contents. When you assign a 'style' to text in a document, you can Insert > Table of Contents. Then Pages will keep the TOC updated and you'll be able to 'link' from the page number in the TOC. (Not much help though, for the OP)

  • When I open .docx in pages, why do I lose parts of the document?

    I have been happily converting from word to pages for the last year.  But recently I noticed that I have been losing pages of word documents when I open them in pages.  I suspect that the losses relate primarily to the type of content since in the first case the document contained a table and in another it contained embedded graphs.  The odd thing is that some of the info is being converted, just not all.  When i opened the document containing the table it appeared to have a single page but I later discovered that it was actually a 2 page table, but only the first half came through into pages.  The other documents contained several pages of embedded graphs and charts.  One of them was visible, the others seemed to not exist.  In that case it was a single bar chart in the middle of the original document while the others were missing.
    Is there anything I can do about this short of using a different program?  I can't continue opening emailed word docs in Pages if I risk losing vital information in the process.

    That helps with the table problem. Thanks! 
    And I figured out the source of the problem with the charts.  The original document seems to be referencing an external file, or at least that's what the pages warning says.  I can open it just fine in word without having the files that created the original chart though.  Is there any kind of workaround for this or are embedded charts just not going work in pages?  I think the original charts were created in excel and then pasted into word. 

  • Search results displays title from the document and not from its metadata

    Hi All,
    I have an issue with SharePoint 2010 Search results. While searching for any content in SharePoint, it displays the title value from the keyword in the document and not from the metedata.
    Scenario:- I have a document library and a document named "Bill Details C1234.doc" in it. The title for this item in document library is "Bill Details". However on searching with keyword "Bill" it displays the
    first word in the word document which is "I".It should display the title set in the document i.e. "Bill Details".
    Please suggest

    I think you're looking to do the reverse of this:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/c2ec4fc2-e04c-453c-8035-4f334f062d05/have-search-results-display-the-filename-of-a-word-doc-instead-of-the-title-metadata?forum=sharepointsearchlegacy
    check this out as well, again I think you want to reverse part of this where it references filename
    http://chris.gg/2011/06/display-filename-instead-of-document-title-in-sharepoint-search/
    So, where it references Filename, you would put title, but leave where it references title alone.  Or maybe I misunderstood and you are looking for exactly this, to make search display the filename and not the title, in which case I trust that you'll
    find this to be your answer.

  • Pages forcing quit, but will not reopen the document.

    i have a pages document on the v 5.2 which i have been editing. It froze on me while i was saving it, and now every time i try to open it, pages says i need the newest version (5.2, which I have) OR it force/automatically quits the pages application and closes any documents i have open. It gives me the option to "reopen" but then nothing happens.. I NEED HELP PLEASE! Even just opening an earlier verison of the document would be helpful.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    To avoid automatically opening your damaged file when you restart Pages, hold down the shift key as you open it.

  • Is there a way to get text to duplicate through out a document?

    I am trying to create a template that will automatically insert text in certain areas in the body of the document, besides in the header. i.e. my name, address or title of paper.

    Gway,
    That's what Section Master Objects are for, but not in the Body/Text Layer; they will be Floating Objects, and in your case, the object will be a Text Box.
