Problem importing Word document with TOC

I am trying to import a Word document containing a table of contents into Pages. The TOC does not appear at all and I get a box saying: "The table of contents is empty because none of the paragraph styles selected in the Document Inspector are used in the document". The TOC style in the original Word document is a hyperlink.
Any help appreciated,
George
Pages 2.0.2

I'm on Windows right now, but I will try answering anyhow. Forgive me for being foggy.
If the the document complains that the styles are wrong, that is probably where the problem is. Somewhere in Pages there should be a setting to choose which styles to use for building a table of contents. You should try to change those settings to match the style names used in the Word document.
A possible source of error here is if you use Pages in another language than the Word document. Let's say the Word document uses the German word "Titel" for Header 1 and you run Pages in French, which expects something like "Titre". It is then possible that Pages cannot recreate the table of context, unless you tell it that it should built it from the styles called Titel.

  • Problem converting Word document with TOC table

    Hello,
             I am using MsWord 2003 and Acrobat 9 in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits.
    I have created the manual using Word, I set Heading (s) with 3 levels deep and created TOC in Word.
    It looks as designed. There are Titles, Subtitles and Subtiles (3rd level).
    TOC in Word works fine. No problem.
    In PDFMaker options under Bookmarks tab I set TOC 1 with 3 levels.
    However, after converting the whole document into PDF, the Bookmarks look very strange.
    They contain only Titles (no subtitles at all), each bookmark line ends with some number 3, 4 or 5 which I do not have idea what are they and those bollmarks point to the TOC page not to the page they should have.
    What is wrong and how can I correct that?
    Thanks,
    jas
    Added:
    I have read many of posts having similiar problems and tried all the suggestions posted.
    I tried:
    1.
    Reinstalling Adobe (removing all the related files), although I did not have any previous versions (and installations) of Acrobat in this computer.
    2.
    In Adobe PDFMaker  uncheck 'Enable Accessibility and...' option
    3.
    Setting printer to Adobe PDF
    4.
    In Word > TOC settings I checked the 'Use hyperlinks instead of page numbers' option
    Also I tried In Adobe PDFMaker not use TOC but to use 'Convert Word Headings to Bookmarks'
    The result was horrible. Double bookmarks, reversed Level 1 with Level 2 positions and lots of empty bookmarks (I believe created by empty rows in pages tables).
    Please note, that using the same Headings Word creates TOC without any problems!
    The only plus side was that some of those bookmarks came with correct links.
    Those bokkmarks were created using 'New Bookmarks from structure' option in Acrobat (after converting the document)
    /jas

    This is ridiculous!
    I think it is time for Adobe to admit there is a problem creating bookmarks in Acrobat, regardless the used version.
    Today I spent all day trying different combinations.
    In addition to my post above I installed and tested the same document in Acrobat Prof ver.8 and Acrobat X.
    The installation was virgin (no previous Adobe was installed).
    Same for MS Office. Virgin installation of ver. 2003 and 2007
    My document I copied and pasted in blank new Word document.
    Also I tried under Windows XP
    All that does not make any difference.
    The final result was always the same, as shown graphically in above post.
    Any ideas?
    What I do not understand, how such big corporation allows bugs like that.
    Convertning TOC (nice working in Word) cannot be a rocket science!
    If Word can create TOC from Headings flawlessly, why not Adobe?
    That TOC is correctly converted as TOC page in pdf document.
    Maybe Adobe should add the option to create bookmarks directly from it after the conversion?!
    As I said, it is not a rocket science.
    Onus is on you, Adobe!

  • Importing Word Documents with Images

    Hi, When I import word document in to Robohelp, it imports
    the images also. Now, I have duplicate images in multiple topics.
    How do I avoid duplicate images being imported? Is there anyway,
    where I can collate and store all the images in a single folder,
    instead of saving it in multiple folders?

    You're right. One reason this plan never came to fruition is
    because this doesn't take a lot of time.
    When I first came aboard, I envisioned a lot of importing of
    Word documents where each change was done to a Word doc (complete
    with macros and useful AutoText) and then imported into RoboHelp.
    Then, a global search would take care of the image problem. But
    that isn't really our MO, so this never happened.
    Although, it's a great way to create a new project. Author
    your Word documents with meaningful characters to represent each
    icon. Then when you import everything, just include the graphic
    once and then do a global search.

  • Create a word document with TOC, table,etc

    Hi,
    How to create a word document with Table of content(TOC),header, footer, table, etc?
    Help me with any APIs or examples. I have already tried with POI API, but couldnt create TOC.. So any other api or any solution is available to create complex word document.
    Thank you

    Hi BIJ001,
    Thanks for your valuable suggestion.
    Open standards WordprocessingML format is supports by Microsoft word. It is typical xml format of designing word document. But creating document with TOC,tables, different styles of paragraphs are complex. Using this format, i have created simple docs. I never tried with complex formats like TOC. The generating File should be in ".doc or .docx" format only.
    Hi gimbal2,
    I am parallely looking to find solution in OpenOffice format also. But i never try out ".docx" file format. I will try to look out this option.
    Thanks for the input.

  • Issue importing Word document with notes

    Hello everyone,
    I have a Word document that has about 80 short sections to it. Each section has endnotes, and the note numbering restarts with 1 at the beginning of each section. I have tried to import this document into CS3, but each time the notes appear as endnotes at the end of the document, not the end of each section. Worse, they number consecutively across sections. Quark, which also dumps notes at the end of the document, at least retains their original numbering, so I could cut-and-paste them back in place. Any information or suggestions on how to work this in INDD? Many thanks.

    I apologize. I thought InDesign was part of Creative Suites and that this was an appropriate place to post my question. I did spend quite a lot of time reading other posts and threads, though, in many of the forums. I'll look elsewhere for help.

  • Import WORD document with pics - half the pages are missing?

    I've got a 100 page Word document, 3 storyboard pics per page.
    I import it into a Pages word processing or a layout document ... and I'm missing half the pages. Random chunks have just disappeared.
    I wonder what this might be?
    Ben

    I've only come across a couple Word documents that won't import at all and one sounds rather similar to yours. I made two attempts at different methods: 1) Using Word, I saved the document as an RTF and imported the RTF (rich text format) into Pages. That was better but the formatting was seriously messed up. 2) I opened it using TextEdit getting a reasonably accurate document. I then copied and pasted that document into Pages.
    Maybe one of these two methods will work for you

  • Font problem creating WORD document with Oracle Reports 8i/9i

    I created a report using different Arial fonts. Once the report is generated from a .NET application, the fonts in the word document are changed apparently into Helvetica. This disarrange my lay-out completely. How can I solve this problem?
    (NB. when I generate a PDF, there is no problem!)

    By the way. I create the files in this way:
       private void createFile(String outFileName) {
          try {
             ByteArrayInputStream result = clientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
             File newFile = new File(outFileName);
             FileOutputStream output = new FileOutputStream(newFile);
             int bytesRead = 0;
             byte[] byteArray = new byte[10000];
             while ((bytesRead = result.read(byteArray)) != -1) {
                output.write(byteArray, 0, bytesRead);
             output.flush();
             output.close();
          } catch (Exception e) {
             e.printStackTrace();

  • Problems Converting word documents with the Adobe Printer and method ,printout (OutputFileName:=) in

    I would like to write a vb-procedure to convert a word document into pdf.
    I'm developing in "Visual Basic 2005 express edition" and tried the following code:
    code[
    Private Sub PrintDocument(sDocName As String,sNewDocName As String)
    'sDocname = "c:\tmp\test.doc"
    'sNewDocName = "c:\test\test.pdf)

    m_wdDatei = Nothing
    m_wdApp.Quit()
    m_wdApp = Nothing
    End Sub
    ]End of code
    After running the printout line I can see a little window popping up, which shows the progress in the converting and after a little time I can find the expected file in the targetdirectory.
    The problem is that I can't open this file, I just get the message that the file is corrupt or not of the pdf-format.
    By scanning the web, I found several threads describing the same problem, but so far I found no solution. Maybe someone here can help me.

  • Importing WORD document with special regional characters in RoboHelp X5

    Hello,
    i have a problem, when im importing a *.doc document. The
    document is written in slovene and it contains special regional
    characters. Here is the deal:
    I was using RoboHelp 4.0 before and i had this same problem.
    What i did was, when i added a new topic (imported *.doc file) into
    existing project and the WebHelp was generated, in the web browser
    i clicked the last added topic and opened a source code, where i
    changed the charset from 1252 to 1250. That enabled the special
    characters to be viewed correctly. When i imported some additional
    topics and generated the WebHelp again, the program somehow "saved"
    the 1250 setting in the previous topics and the characters were
    correctly shown. I had to adjust 1250 only in the new topics, that
    were added before the last generate.
    When i try to do the same in RoboHelp X5, this doesnt work.
    Program doesnt "remember" the 1250 setting and it always generates
    with 1252 character setting. Which is a problem, because there are
    a lot of topics and i would have to change the character setting
    for every topic/doc document i added.
    What can i do ?
    Thanks in advance

  • Importing Word Docs with Images into RH7

    Hi All,
    I have a large Word doc which is full of images and text that
    I want to import into RH7. I've tried it and tried it, even
    converted it to PDF and tried it, but I don't get any of the images
    imported. I've discovered the images folder, but there's nothing in
    it and, just in case they're hidden(!), I've published and still no
    images.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks!

    No I have only been using it since Word 2 days. :-)
    Please don't mention the limit of 200 pages with graphics to
    my documents which can run to over twice that size.
    I repeat the point that if Word is struggling with this
    particular document, you cannot expect another application to work
    well with the document. RH does import Word documents with many
    images, it is something that I have done many times. I think the
    problem is something to do with the image type you have chosen
    (emz). If you look in the image import dialog you will see that EMZ
    is not a listed file type.
    Without being able to see your document, it is difficult to
    help you. Speak to your management. I regularly receive projects
    from people on this forum and nobody has ever had cause to
    complain. I would not risk losing the Adobe Community Expert status
    by revealing the content to anyone.

  • Trouble with CHM Search & Index after Importing Word Document

    Greetings,
    I have recently inherited all things RoboHelp at work, but the last person to work with our projects left 6 months ago.  I received a brief overview of how our CHM files were generated from the same word document in RH HTML 7. 
    Currently, I am using RoboHelp HTML 9, but am having trouble with the Index and Search functionality from an imported Word 2003 (.doc) file.  During my import, only a single topic is created and named after the source document.  I believe this may be the root of my problems, but haven't had much luck with a solution. 
    I have stumbled my way through setting after setting, but feel I am missing something obvious.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ken
    Background:
    Our source documents have a working TOC and Heading 1-3 structure.  When creating a new project and importing the document, the TOC is imported correctly.  The TOC navigations links seem to function correctly. 
    I have used the Smart Index Wizard to find new keywords from topic titles and topic text.  Unfortunately it seems the import only creates a single topic named after the source word document and therefore associates all keywords with the single topic.  when trying to navigate the index after the CHM is generated, all links simply reference the beginning of the document.
    When using the search feature in the CHM, only a single result is returned for any search words.  This result is always the single topic as described above.  The results link always returns you to the start of the document but does highlight the keyword throughout the document.

    When you import there is an Advanced button in one of the dialogs. Click that and you will be able to Paginate against chosen styles. That will break your document into topics.

  • Working with imported Word documents

    I've noticed that Pages (for iOS) gets very slow and laggy -- especially the on--screen keyboard -- when working with imported Word documents. Is there a method to convert imported files to native Pages documents, and thereby maybe speed up the app?

    Turns out, it's not just Word-imports that are slow. Pages in general is just slow, and seems to have become this way after the iOS 5 upgrade.

  • Help with image file names when using Import Word document feature

    Hello,
    I am using File >> Import >> Word document into an HTML template.  If the Word document contains images, the images are written to the directory specified in my Site Default Image Folder.  Here is my question: As I was teaching myself the Import function, one time the images were automatically named to match the page name.  So for example, if my page is named Create.html, the images would be named Create_image001.jpg, Create_image002.jpg, etc.  I can't remember how I enabled this feature (or maybe I was dreaming) but if anyone knows how to control the name of the images imported from MS Word, please let me know.  I've searched and Googled for hours and can't find a way to control the image file names.
    Thanks in advance,
    Shellie

    I was hoping that this would be fixed in the 10.8.2 upgrade but it has not.  Anyone have any luck?  Earlier today I was trying to write a paper and navigating between 10 pdfs was a nightmare without being able to hover my mouse for the titles like I used to. 

  • Re-importing word document into existing project

    2. I imported a Word (Windows XP) doc to create my robohelp
    project.
    I am new to RoboHelp, so please bear with me...
    I had imported a word document into a project for HTML Help.
    I had mapped some IDs to create context sensitive help to work with
    our application. When the word doc is updated and I re-import it,
    the topics are duplicated in the TOC. (I normally get updates of
    this document from another department and we need to convert it to
    HMTL help for our application).
    How do I fix this or prevent this from happening? (Other than
    delete the old project, create a new project, and import updated
    word document since I would have to remap all the IDs again.)
    Thank you for your help.

    Sorry, I have to disagree with your estimate, for the main
    reason that all those reviewers will be manipulating the Word
    document with their own formatting quirks, which will only serve to
    corrupt the doc file and make its repeated importation increasingly
    problematic.
    Remember, you're looking to convert a binary file with tons
    of macros into HTML code, essentially a flat text file. I suspect
    that remapping the IDs will end up being the least of your problems
    as you go further into repeated review cycles.
    Good luck,
    Leon

  • Headings are getting bookmarked while importing word document to Robohelp 9

    HI everyone. Easter wishes in advance.
    I have a problem while importing word document to Robohelp.
    Version - MS Word 2010
    Robohelp 9
    While I import word document to Robohelp after mapping styles, my heading styles are getting tagged as bookmarks in RH.
    I have customized word template along with customized RH css.
    How can I prevent the headings (all the heading level used in a document) getting tagged as bookmark after I import word docs to RH.
    If there is no solution is there any solution to remove bookmarks at one go from RH.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    The quickest way to resolve this is to create a new project and import a document that causes this problem. Zip up the project and document and send it to me via my site so that I can take a look.
    You can strip out any confidential content and it only needs to be a document short enough to show the problem.
