Remove Gradient in Table of Contents

I saw a post about this here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3012047?tstart=2 but the "possible answer" wasn't helpful at all.
I am working with Captivate 5. I have tried everything I can think of (unchecking gradient, changing all the possible backgrounds, text, etc to the same color to see if I was missing it somehow). No matter what I do the white gradient persists and I think it really hinders readability. See my image below to see what I am talking about.

OK. That's really wierd. Normally just unticking the Gradient checkbox should mean you get solid colours.
Since you're on Captivate 5, the two standard things to try at this point are to first clear out the cache via the Clear Cache button in Preferences.
And if that doesn't work, the next thing to try is to delete the entire Preferences folder:
- on Xp: C:\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Captivate 5
- on Vista/Win7:C:\Users\<USER NAME>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Captivate 5
- on MAC: /Users/<USER NAME>/Library/Preferences/

Using captivate 5 and I want to remove the duration in the table of contents. I have seen the instructions for cpativate 4 but that is in AS2 and we are publishing in AS3
We have had to do some timing adjustments on the slide and it appears tha the program is longer and we dont want users to get scared off.
Is there a widget or a way to delete

How do I remove the "Show" (Table of Contents) link from my page?

I am using Robohelp 7 and exporting to WebHelp to use on an internet page. When clicking the help icon from my internet page, I am displaying a specific page within my Robohelp content, and not including the Table of Contents. However, at the top of my rendered page, there is a "Show" link automatically being displayed. If you click that link, you then get the full Table of Contents. I do not want that "Show" link to be displayed at all. But I can't figure out where it is coming from.
This image shows the "Show" link (image also attached below):
This image shows the code showing the Show, but we don't know where it's coming from or how to get rid of it (image also attached below):

Hi there
In your Single Sourc Layout properties there is an option labeled "Show Navigation Link in Topics". You need to clear that option when you generate.
Cheers... Rick

How to remove the bookmark from the table of contents?

Hi everyone, I have a question:
How to remove the bookmark from the table of contents in Captivate 6?
Regards...

Doug, your frustration is making you "bug" gun trigger happy. LOL
LOL, I suppose I have.
I believe the answer you are looking for is in the publishing preferences: under LMS advanced settings, look for the option: never send resume data.
[can someone please confirm this - I am not at a desktop now]
Anyhow, selecting this option will stop resume data - so the lesson will treat even returning learners as new. Hopefully, this will work for you.
This works! Thank you again!
*but* Why isn't Captivate asking the learner to make the choice of whether to start over or resume. It does this correctly if the lesson is published stand-alone.
Thanks again!

Remove "Slide Title" text from table of contents?

Hi all,
Is there anyway to remove the text "Slide Title" when you publish a Table of Contents (ToC) from Captivate 8?
It seems I can remove/add the other text from the ToC (e.g. project name, title, etc.) but not the line that appears above all of the slides and the accompanying bookmark button/icon.
Any ideas?
Cheers,

Hi Lilybiri,
Ah thanks for the confirmation and reply. That's a shame but I'll just work around it.
Cheers,

Table of Contents -- Removing the Duration at the bottom

Hi
I was wondering if it is possible to remove the duration at
the bottom of the table of contents? I checked off the show
duration box in the settings but that only removes the duration for
each individual slide. Is it also possible to edit the height or
adjust the y position?
Thanks,

Actually, there is a great article on customizing the TOC
just recently added to the Captivate Blog.
You can go to it directly from here:

Is there a way to remove it?
Thanks

1. Open the book in Editor mode.
2. On the Far right hand side, where it states Add Documement, change to Book Setup.
3. On the Table of Contents section, change Include in Printed Output from Yes to a No.

How to remove Heading 4 from Table Of Contents

HI,
how can i remove Heading 4 from the Table Of Contents in Word 2007?
I needed to create the Heading 4 (built in themes only go to level 3) by myself (it was very complicated) but finally managed to get it to work.
The problem is that when i view the properties of my theme it has the following attributes:
Font: Not Bold, Indent: Left: 1,9 cm, Hanging: 1,14 cm, Space Before: 6 pt, Style: Linked, Quick Style, Based on: Heading 3
The built in themes however have it different:
Indent: Left: 1,27 cm, Hanging: 0,89 cm, Level 3, Style: Linked, Quick Style, Based on: Heading 2, Following style: Indryk3
There is a parameter called "Level"which my theme does not have. When i create the Table Of Contents and set "Show levels" to 3 then it will display FOUR levels (three built-in and my Heading 4).
Please help. How to get the "Level" parameter to appear for my theme as well?

Hi
Thanks for your answer. The only invisible character is the section break thing at the very top of the blank page. I can't figure out how to place it directly after the Table of contents. If I remove the section break, the Table of Contents merges with the following section, which is not what I want at all.

Remove / change dots in Table of contents

Hi guys,
I have a table of content (standard) in Indesign.
But under each item is a black dotted line.
1. How can I change this dotted line to grey?
2. Change the line style to a stripe or something.
thanks

In the paragraph style check the section Paragraph Rules (and use the dropdown to investigate both Rule Above and Rule Below -- I think it has the Rule Below active). Check the box or clear it next to the dropdown to turn the rule on or off.
A tab leader is a character or set of characters (you can use spaces, for example, to spread apart dots, or combine a dot and an underscore, or a bullet and a hyphen for a decorative look) that fills the space occupied by the tab character. There's a field in either the Tabs palette or in the Tabs section of the paragraph style where you can enter the character(s) once you set the tab position and select the tab marker on the ruler.
I prefer a custom underline (applied as a style) on the tab if you can create the look you want with ID's stroke styles because you have more control over weight and positioning than you do with the tab leader.

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

Span columns problem with Table of Contents order

Hello,
I'm having a strange issue with headings that span columns and Table of contents order. My document has a heading paragraph in a coloured box, which is then inserted in-line into a 2-column text box. The paragraph style for the box (set to in-line) is set to span all columns, so that the 2-columned text doesn't get messed up.
When I create a table of contents, the Heading style that is inside the coloured box is being picked up fine, but even though it is inserted before the headings below it, it is showing up after the level 2 headings, instead of before.
I have confirmed that the insertion of the blue bar is before the text below it, as when I remove the span columns option, the TOC works as it is supposed to. Is this a bug?

Hi there, thanks for the reply.
The only way I could move the inline box to the left was to make a custom anchor and change the X value, this did not affect the TOC unfortunately. I also checked the location of the invisible marker indicating the location of the inline text box, and it is definitely before the heading that follows. I confirmed this by removing the span columns option for that paragraph, and the TOC displayed properly after doing that, meaning there is likely some problem with the span columns option not properly recognizing the order of content.

Adding annotations throws off Table of Contents links

I asked this a month ago and got no responses...Help is critically needed. When annotations are added, the bookmarks seem OK on authoring machine, but once PDF is opened on another machine, everything thrown off!
I'm involved in a paperless pilot project and am having a difficult time circumventing an issue in Preview.
I'm re-formatting material for executive meetings from WordPerfect, Word, Excel and PowerPoint into bookmarked PDF format in Adobe Acrobat Pro X. When they are opened in Preview by senior management on MacBook Airs, the Table of Contents links everywhere correctly. However, the moment they add an annotation (in this case, notes), the table of contents is thrown one page off, regardless of their place in the document. Even after removing the note, the table of contents does not revert to the proper place. I'm assuming this occurs because the annotation throws off the markers from the imported bookmarks.
Using Acrobat Reader on the Airs isn't an option since annotations aren't possible. We are also really trying to keep production of the PDFs limited to Acrobat Pro to ensure cross-platform compatibility of the Table of Contents.
Has anyone else encountered these issues? Is there a potential workaround?

A lightweight alternative to Acrobat Pro for creating table of contents for any PDF is PDFOutliner (only $5 on Mac App Store.) The TOC links generated by PDFOutliner don't have the problem you've described above. You could open your PDF in PDFOutliner and re-save it (the TOC will be rebuilt) for a quick test.

InDesign Table of Contents won't display once exported to pdf

Hello,
I am creating user manuals using Indesign books with CS5. When I export the book, I can view everything perfectly. But when I open the same file from a different computer, I get a message saying:
"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the pdf document to correct the problem."
And two pages are blank - the table of contents. If you hover the cursor over the blank pages, the cursor changes and indicates the hyperlinks, and the hyperlinks still work, but since you can't view the text it's not very helpful.
Both computers are using Acrobat 9.
Any ideas?

I systematically removed elements from the pages in turn and I think I've found the issue. I have a header/footer created in illustrator on the master pages for all the documents in the book, and when I remove it from the Table of Contents, it shows up just fine. Odd that it doesn't affect the other pages.
Thanks for your quick responses. Consider the problem solved.

Table of Contents and Section Numbering ??s

Hi, we are using CS6 and have a couple questions about trying to use automated section numbering and table of contents in a single document. We don’t do this often (actually, never used auto-TOC before), so I just want to see if I’m missing something obvious.
SECTION NUMBERING WITH SECTION INTRO PAGES
Our document (a style guide) is divided into sections. Each section begins with a section intro title page, which is basically just a blank page with the new section’s title nicely styled. We are setting up our sections as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. And we would REALLY prefer for the page numbering to be ’1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.’, where X.0 is the section intro page.
1) I can add the sections OK with a prefix of 1., 2., etc. But InDesign does not allow me to start the section numbering at ’0′, it must be ’1′. So my intro pages HAVE to be 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, etc. instead of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 etc. Any creative workaround to solve this??? We really don’t want the intro pages to be X.1, as they have no content and we want the X.1 page to be the first with content on it, NOT X.2. How do people generally handle a section intro page?
AUTO PAGE NUMBERS AND TOC
We are trying to use the automated Table of Content feature and running into an odd issue. We have page titles on top of each page in a unique paragraph style (H1). We are adding the page number at the beginning of this paragraph using ‘Type > Marker > Current Page Number’ and a unique character style. It’s working fine on the pages, showing the appropriate section numbering we setup for the document (e.g., 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, etc.).
But when we make the table of contents, the ‘page numbers’ at the beginning of the titles are coming in as absolute numbers (e.g., 7, 8 , 9, 10, 11, etc.) instead of our section numbering. I checked the General Preferences, and it is set to ‘View: Section Numbering’. And when I exported an interactive PDF, the bookmarks also add the absolute page number at the beginning of the titles as in the TOC. But if I set the TOC to include page numbers automatically, those DO display correct section numbers (they just precede or follow our titles with the incorrect numbering).
2) Any ideas why the TOC and PDF Bookmarks would be picking up absolute numbering while the actual titles on the pages show the proper section numbering?
THANKS!

I've never tried adding a second marker to a paragraph like that. Why not use a numbered list instead?
Just checking in here. Not sure I understand what you mean about using a numbered list. Do you mean instead of the page numbers in the titles, or instead of the Table of Contents? Not sure how either could be automated to stay in sync with adding/removing pages and creating the TOC links and bookmarks in our PDFs.
- Is there a bug when the TOC pulls the specified title paragraphs and they have page numbers in them?
Thanks. Still trying to see if we're doing something wrong as this is the first we've played with TOC.
