Partial black titles generated in TOC

Hello
I have generated a TOC and all is well except for one document (Appendices) which refuses to populate the text. There is no problem with page numbers etc.
The paragraph in question has an Autonumber Format of '<$volnum>.<n+>\tAppendix <n+>'. I am 99% sure this is the problem.
I'm 100% sure I don't have a fix either.
Any ideas?

What is the Reference Page format for the ...TOC paragraph formats?
If, for test purposes, you TOC a normal heading format from the Appendix, what happens?
I'm pretty sure it's appendicitis.
The reference page is:
If I TOC a normal heading format from the Appendix, it works fine. It's just this paragraph tag. In fact, you can see from the frst example, it references the title and page numbers with no problem.
Can Framemaker get appendicitis?

How to generate a TOC in Rh8 based on a structured Fm9 book

Hi,
After linking a structured FrameMaker 9 book in RoboHelp 8, is it possible to generate a RoboHelp TOC with the same folder structure?
For example, let's say you've created a structured Fm book which consists of several DITA (XML) topics organized into folders, as shown below.
After linking the book in Rh, is there a way to automatically generate a TOC with the same folder structure, as shown below? The TOC should remain linked, so that any changes you make to the Fm book will also be reflected in the TOC after you update the book in Rh.
Note: As RJ Jacquez demonstrated in Linking FrameMaker 9 Books in RoboHelp 8 via Adobe Technical Communication Suite, this can be achieved with unstructured books and documents by using a TOC generated in Fm. However, if you attempt to use this method with structured documents (such as DITA files), the generated TOC is flattened, i.e., the folder structure is lost.
Does anyone have any ideas or solutions?
PS: I am using the Adobe Technical Communications Suite 2.

Hi there,
When you linked the book in Robohelp, in project manager pod just right click in the linked book and go to properties. There you have an option to select the TOC.
Hope that helps
Thanks

How do I have the audio of a clip play underneath a black title page?

I have a project where I am asking a couple the same question seperately. I have a black title page that writes out the interviewer's question for 2 seconds, but while the title page is displayed, I would like to hear interviewer asking the question (without seeing the footage). How do I place a black title page in front of a clip so only the audio plays while the title page is running?
THANK YOU!

The simplest way would be to
0) In iMovie/Preferences make sure that the Advanced Tools are enabled.
1) Add your tite to the movie.
2) Find the event clip that contains the audio and select the portion that you need. Drag it to the project and drop it on the Title. A pop-up menu should appear. Choose "Audio Only".
There are other ways as well if this does not work for you.

Black title with clip audio

Hi!
I started using iMovie 11 and I'm having a small issue with it.
I want to finish my project by fading to a black screen and having then text appearing on the screen, but keeping the audio of the clip.
I've tried to drop a title AFTER a clip but it does then cut the audio. I've also dropped a title ON a clip but then it doesn't have a fade to black background.
What I did until now is cut my clip in 2 parts, put a fade to black transition and tried to change the video options of the second clip to make it appear black. The result is not that good as I can't make the background full black (there's still some blue somewhere).
Any chance there's an easy and proper way to do that that I've missed?
Very simple, fade to black title with audio clip.
Thanks!

FM10 Can't generate the TOC with leading dots

Hi everybody,
I have read some useful threads here about this problem but I still can't seem to be able to resolve this leading dots issue for my TOC.
I have already ensured that the reference page for all of my frame files in my Book have the same Reference page TOC entry. When I generate my TOC the leading dots are missing!
I then open the Reference page for the TOC file as well and paste in the same TOC entries from my other frame files, and then update the book to regenerate the TOC.
This also does not solve the problem.
Any help resolving this issue would be really appreciated!
Here are screen shots of my Reference page for my TOC(below). I have ensured that this same section is present for all of my book's frame files too (in their Reference page sections for TOCs).
ChapterTitleTOC
Heading1TOC
Heading2TOC:
And my generated TOC

I have this happen all the time in FM9.
Do you already have a TOC in your book file with the correct reference pages?
Sometimes I have to do it twice, I don't know why, but if you have a TOC in your
book file and then make another TOC, mine usually works...just a thought..

Black title screen not large enough to cover video: see edges of underlying video

Hello users,
I am trying to use black title screens to display names of songs which are to appear for 5 seconds before fading and then showing the performer.
I have the title screen on the track 2, above the video on track 1.
I can see a very slight but noticable edge of the video all around the title screen. I see this on my Sony pro production monitor and on my Plasma TV.
How can I eliminate that? I thiought I could just enlarge the title screen but I see no way to do that.
Insights appreciated!
I'm on CS 6.03 and Windows.
wsmith

I see now, the little window that pops when doing "new, title" let's you specify the title size. Why can't we just be able to change that in the properties at the right? What if you have already created a slew of titles?

InDesign CS4 crashes generating a TOC

I have read about other users problems with TOC's, but none of their solutions seems to be any help. My InDesign CS4 crashes either when I try to generate the TOC or when I select a specific paragraph style setting up the TOC. Unlike the users of later versions I get no message when the program crashes - it just happens.
I am working on a book with 40 files (chapters) and inserting index codes and generating index is no problem. I have 12 GB RAM. Please help me.
Leif

Now I have performed your suggestions. I split one of the three documents in half and tried to open another document in the book - and the program crashed. I continued to spilt the halves, but since either half still caused a crash, i suspected that neither the text nor the pictures were the problem. I selected one of the halves and removed all text, all pictures, all master objects, but even if I now worked with two blank pages, the program still crashed!!
Then I studied the panels and removed all unused object formats, paragraph formats, character formats etc. At last I noticed that the index panel still contained a reference - even if all text (and with that also all index references (entries)) was removed.
Trying to open this reference to see what it contained, the program crashed even if I had only the document in question open!! I removed the index reference - and the program did not crash any more!!!
When I removed this particular reference in the two other documents, the document did not crash any more!!! And of course I removed it from all documents and now I can open all my 45 documents in the book without problems.
I suppose that the reason why this index reference caused the problem was that it contained slashes. The referred text was
Badeværelse/værksted/mørkekammer
which means Bathroom/workshop/darkroom, but in fact the meaning is important.
The conclusion is: InDesign cannot handle slashes in index references which conclusion I hope you will distribute to any user with problems.
Thank you for supplying me with tools to solve my problem.

CS3 Won't Generate a TOC in book?

Hi everyone!
I am trying to create a table of contents for a book I have laid out in CS3, but I keep hitting a problem with the program only pulling the styles from the page I currently have open. When I open the dialogue for the table of contents, a box appears that shows it scanning the other chapters in the document, so I know it's reading the entire book.
I go in, tell it to pull the two styles I want and then hit ok, but the TOC is only pulling the styled text from the current document and not the whole book.
I thought that maybe all the styles were different, so I created a new style for the text I wanted pulled and opened each chapter separately and reapplied it to all the chapters. (TEDIOUS, but eh...) I tried generating the TOC again, but still had no luck. I have followed the steps in the original training manual i first learned InDesign with to a T, but am having an issue.
Any ideas on what I should do?

Have you created TOC Paragraph Styles? or try looking at The InDesigner Podcasts 33 to 37 for a complete References.

Boris title generator

just started using the boris title generator (title 3D). maybe i'm missing something but is there any way to see the background video that the title is supered over?

Place the Boris clip on the track above your video in FCP's Timeline. Place the Timeline's playhead so it shows both the Boris clip and the video clip in the Canvas window. Double-click the clip to load it into the Viewer. Click on the tab in the Viewer window with the Boris controls. While watching video AND text in the Canvas window, make adjustments to the controls as needed.

Getting List of Figures, List of Tables titles into main TOC

I have a book (all in one file) with three TOCs: List of Tables, List of Figures, main Table of Contents. I want the TOC titles from List of Tables and List of Figures to show up in the main TOC. They don't.
Does anyone know why? Do TOCs not pick up text from other TOCs?
Ken

If it's going to work, you'd need to make the lists for tables & figures first, and include the styles you used for the tiltles of those in the things to search for on the main TOC. I presume you did this?
By first, you mean temporally, not spatially, right? In print order, Contents comes before List of Tables which comes before List of Figures. Yes, I'm pretty sure I set it up right, but I'm starting to think that TOCs just ignore other TOCs. Is that intended behavior?
Sure, I'll just type in the two missing titles. I just wanted it to work automatically, because I know I'll probably have to generate a new TOC about a month from now and I probably won't remember to add those two titles again.

Why is the automatically generated RoboHelp TOC limiting itself to the top 2 topic levels?

I'm using TCS 4 with RoboHelp v10.0.1.292 and FrameMaker v 11. I created some dummy DITA files in FrameMaker11 using the default choices and organized them in a ditamap to learn how to work with multiple topic levels. My ditamap has 3 topic levels. All 3 levels display in RoboHelp's Project Manager, however only the first 2 levels display in the automatically generated TOC. (After generating WebHelp output, I can do a search and find the 3rd level content, but the 3rd level topics are not displayed in the WebHelp TOC either.)
First graphic: 3rd level files in Project Manager pod match how they are arranged in FM, and where they failed to show up in the FMTOC pod.
Second graphic: I found that I can get the 3rd level to display in the RoboHelp TOC and in WebHelp output if I click the TOC pod AUTO-CREATE TOC icon - is this the solution or is there something I just haven't got set up yet? If regenerating the TOC in RH is the solution, how do I get the accompanying file name problems to go away, i.e. the ditamap FILE name now replaces the ditamap TITLE, and worse, one of the task file names has replaced its title name.
Thanks for any clues you can provide.

I have moved this to the FrameMaker Integration forum in the hope you get a reply here.

How can I edit a black title frame?

I'm now just experimenting with 8 short clips, trying to learn something about editing. Instead of using any of the "fun" title frames in PrE10, I want black opening and closing title frames. I placed these frames in my movie with the place holder Add Text in the center. Even though I select the Add Text and try to replace it with the text I want, the Add Text remains. I've tried everything. Can someone give me a step-by-step way to insert and edit black opening and closing titles with white text.
One more thing. I bought a new HP computer (Windows 7, 8 RAM, 1TB hard disk) with PrE and Photoshop Elements preinstalled. I wonder if these are the full programs or just scaled down versions. In the control panel I see that PrE is 1.23 GB; Photoshop is 2.59 GB.

Tommy,
To get a black background in a Title, there are a couple of ways to achieve it.
If the Title is placed on the Timeline, with nothing below it, i.e. on Video Track 1, and nothing above it, the background will show black. What we see as "black" in the Titler, is really Transparent, but if there are no pixels below that Title, it WILL be black, when one Exports/Shares.
If there are videos below the Title, say a Video, or Still Image (Title would be on a higher Video Track), but we want the black to appear below the Text, blanking out the material below that Title, then we can first create Black Video (from the New Item button in the Project Panel - slightly different locations per versions of PrE), place that on Video Track 2, and the Title on Video Track 3. The Duration and placement of that Black Video would match up perfectly with the Title. Now, there will be black behind the Text, blanking out any Video below it. Another method would be to create a Filled Shape that fills the full Frame, and set its Fill to black. Then Text would be added in that same Title, above the black Filled Shape. This has the benefit of keeping both the black background and the Text in one Title, so only the placement and the Duration of the Title has to be considered - one does not have to adjust both the Black Video and the Title - they are combined into one Asset.
Now, if you are still seeing "Add Text," there are two issues, that I can think of to cause this:
When you went to edit that Template, you did NOT Select the Add Text placeholder, but instead, clicked with the Type Tool, and basically created a second Text Object, above that placeholder Text Object. You did not really edit the "Add Text."
You have two Titles, where one is the Template with the "Add Text" placeholder Text, and the other with the Text that you did edit.
When you open the Title Template into the Titler (the Title editor window), there are two ways to Select that "Add Text" placeholder Text. One can use the Selection Tool (the arrow), to click within the area of that placeholder Text. When you do, you will see a Bounding Box form around that Text Object, indicating that it has been Selected. From that point, one can make adjustments with the Handles on the Bounding Box, or they can then go to the Type Tool (the T), and edit the placeholder Text. The second is to use the Type Tool, and then click, or click+drag in the placeholder Text, to highlight all, or portions of that "Add Text" placeholder Text.
The first method is useful if, for instance, one needed to edit just a letter in existing Text, as it's usually easier to isolate that single character, or characters. OTOH, if one clicks in the correct spot, within the existing Text, with the Type Tool, a step is saved.
This article goes into more detail on Titles, and also has some links to tutorials on using Titler: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4976998#4976998
Note: Some of those tutorials are for Premiere Pro (mostly CS 6), so the look of the Titler WILL be different from those in PrE, and a very few functions might be demonstrated, but unavailable in PrE. However, the vast majority of the instructions rely on the general mechanics of Titler, and those are the same in all versions of Premiere - they might just look a bit different.
Good luck, and please report your progress.

When I generate the TOC in RH7, the first page number is "v" instead of 'i' - how can I fix it?

When generating a word doc from RH7 everything works fine except for the roman numbering in the TOC footer. It begin with a "v" (5) instead of "i":
The roman numerals count up on the following 4 TOC pages - so, the TOC is numbered from v to viii. The body of the document starts on page 1 just as it should. I've tried every setting I can think of to no avail.
As an aside, I have an un-numbered cover and next a copyright page before the TOC but if RH is counting those then I should be starting with page iii on the TOC (which would aggravate me only slightly less - two roman numerals worth, to be exact).
Is there a way to fix this or should I just shave my head and resign in disgrace as the company technical writer?
Thanks in advance!

I'm guessing here but you have two pages before the TOC and Word is probably seeing both of those with Odd section breaks and would print the cover with a blank page after, likewise the copyright. Thus making the TOC the fourth sheet of paper.
Have you printed the document and have you checked the section break type?
