Showing status in Table of Contents

I am using the new Table of Contents feature in CP4 and love
the idea of tracking status/completion of topics in a single
course. I have this setting selected, but it doesn't track any of
them as completed after I've viewed them. Any suggestions? Do I
have to set some criteria for completion or something?

I am having the same problem. I love the new TOC but the
status flag feature hasn't been implemented/programmed very well. I
pause each screen with two invisible click boxes so that my users
can use left arrow and right arrow to page back/forward. The
feature would be much better if the flag turned on once the user
initially views the screen and doesn't have to wait until it's done
playing. The time I anticipate to complete a screen may be
drastically different than the actual time it takes the user to
complete it.

OSX preview not showing acrobat-created table of contents

I built a nice pdf bookmark tree/table of contents in Acrobat Pro. This has worked fine in the past. However oddly on this occasion while the table of contents looks fine in Acrobat, it does not show up in Preview. It's a 90 page doc assembled from MS Visio.
What's going on?
Anyone else coming across this issue?
Thank you!!

I'm running into a similar problem. In my case, I'm trying to add some bookmarks into an existing document using PdfBox 0.7.3. The original document was created with FOP 0.9.5 and Preview displays the bookmarks just fine. But after having added some bookmarks, Preview no longer shows any bookmarks!?
Oddly, Gnome Evince 2.22.2 and Windows Acrobat Reader 9.1.1 have absolutely no problems with the modified document. It might still be a problem with PdfBox, but then I would expect other viewers to fail as well.
If anybody has any ideas, I would very much welcome your feedback. Thanks!

Sections and Automatic Table of Contents

Hello there,
I have encountered a problem with InDesign while trying to make an automatic TOC for a journal I am working on. It has something to do with Sections.
So I have a book with several indd files. The very first indd file is called "frontpages" which includes the cover page, the inside cover, the leaf page, then two facing pages for the table of contents, then followed by the last page (Letter from the Editor).
This is followed by my second indd file called "newsbeats" which has 5 pages.
Now, what I wanted to do was mark the frontpages' page numbers using lower case roman numerals (i, ii, iii, etc.) Of course I do not want to include the cover page and the inside cover, so I want to start (i) with the leaf page, (ii) and (iii) marks the table of contents pages, and finally (iv) for the Editor's Letter. I did this by starting a section at the leaf page, START PAGE NUMBERNG AT: 1, and selecting the (i, ii, iii...) option. It worked, while leavingboth the cover page and and the inside cover with markers (a) and (b), which I previously set (because I do not know how to just get rid of the page number...)
Now, my book pages actually starts page (1) in the first page of the "newsbeats" document. So to do that, I made another section on the newsbeats first page, START PAGE NUMBERING AT: 1, and selected (1, 2, 3...). That works, too.
So at the moment, I have 3 sections to my page numbers: 1) the lower case letters (a, b) section for the cover page and inside cover, respectively; 2) the roman numerals section (i, ii, iii...) for the leafpage, table of contents, and Editor Letter; and lastly, 3) the arabic letters (1, 2, 3...) starting from the newsbeats document all the way to the last page of the last indd of my book.
Hope it is clear enough. Now here comes the problem:
When I try to create an automatic Table of Contents, it correctly finds my chapters (i used the style for each journal article's title) and lists them. The problem is, the page numbers do not appear correctly. Instead, it shows "a" on EACH AND EVERY table of contents ENTRY. I tried some trial and error, and found out that the pages shown (a bunch of "a") is actually the COVER PAGE'S (a) page number....
I tried for hours searching on topics like "Sections and Automatic TOC" or "How to selectively choose which pages to include in a TOC".. But I found none.
Your help would be really appreciated. I can easily manually type the page numbers (my journal only has 9 articles), but I wanted to do this in a very systematic way, so it would be a lot easier if in any case, there are more than 9 articles for next year's publication.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
- Larry
PS: I attached a file showing the generated table of contents (on the ii-iii page that I wanted it to appear on), with the frontpages page panel, which shows the page numbering as well. Also I included the Book Panel, so you see how the pages are set up.

We definitely experienced the same issue. Seems like pages just get lost. This is the approach I took:
On the groups main page we just added a link called 'View All Articles' wrapped in a h1 tag (to make it very big and visible to the user) using the following url:
search/?q=%20
The resulting page will search for every article with a space in it and return the results. Still not the most elegant solution but it works. I'd like to implement it right into the xsl file but haven't found very much documentation to aid in this.

Table of contents - self listing

Hello,
I've already found a solution on this forum for my question but I'm hoping an expert can explain to my why something doesn't work as I expect it.
Problem:
When you make a table of contents (ToC), the entry for the ToC....page # doesn't appear in the ToC itself.
Solution
Put a non-printing frame with a Paragraph style that is include in your "Include Paragraph Styles:" in the ToC dialogue box.
Question:
Lets just say I've got Paragraph Style X and Paragraph Style Y in the "Included Paragraph Styles". At the top where you can choose the Paragraph style for Table of contents (next to the Title: box) I've tried putting in Style X but it still doesn't show up. I've tried having another ToC (a Table of Figures) using Paragraph Style X and it also doesn't show up under the first ToC. Other items with Style X shows up, but Table of Contents and Table of Figures don't show up as a ToC entry
Do ToC never list themselves? Or Is there something else going on.
Thanks

I never noticed that before, but my guess is that TOC stories are "special" (they do have some sort of internal marking in the database that says they are a TOC -- you can't copy them to a new doc and have them update, for example) and are not included to prevents some sort of regression loop on update.

Pdf with table of contents from a Pages file

I discovered in a pdf file sent to me that it has a table of contents in the sidebar where thumbnails, and annotations also reside.
When I create a pdf from my pages document this is not available.
In the table of contents sidebar are the words 'No Sections'. How do I create sections for every para styled as a heading so that they show in the table of contents sidebar of the pdf file.
I have been using outline to navigate in the pages file but the pdf would be simpler for me to do under meeting conditions.
PAM

Your son was probably referring to *Adobe Acrobat Pro*. But I can't see how that would help with the sidebar automatically.
In *Acrobat Pro* it would be a matter of selecting each head to make a bookmark from that and then resave the .pdf file with the bookmarks sidebar showing upon opening.
You can also add and edit bookmarks in Preview.
+Preview > Menu > Bookmarks > Add Bookmark/Edit Bookmarks…+
I did a further experiment with a Pages document with bookmarks to see if that created the sidebar with bookmarks, but it didn't work.
There are differences in the ways Preview and Acrobat Reader display .pdfs even with what seem to be straight forward settings. I can never depend on a uniform display.
Particularly where PC users are involved.
Peter
btw When you viewed your Pages document with your TOC did you set the Preview sidebar to show "Table of Contents" in the little icons at the foot of the Preview sidebar.

I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

I created a book in iBooks Author using the Photo Book template. When I rotate to portrait orientation, the photo or widget disappears and a table of contents appears with only the interactive media showing.

Thanx for the prompt response, KT. I have indeed seen that thread, only just after I posted the question.
I have spent hours on the phone with what I now know is a call center in Texas on this question.
I think Apple could be a little more "hands on" with iBooks Author users, and it should also be pointed out that landscape photos will not display in portrait mode.
In my case, I used gallery widgets to display vertical photos, since they look better in portrait mode.
But instead of simply rotating, the page disappears and a TOC of interactive media appears. The gallery behaves as expected when tapped. This is not what I expected, but since the gallery works, I can live with it.
Right now I have "tickets" telling me to "fix" this "problem or to disable portrait mode.
I don't want to disable portrait mode.
Will Apple accept the books if I tell them this is not an "error?"

Can I show outline numbering in a table of contents?

I am using an outline to put together a reference book. This is hte format I'm using:
A. Law and Justice
     1. Law of the Land
          a. Example
          b. Example
     2. Law Publication
          a. Example
          b. Example
B. Government and Civil Officers
     1. Requirements for Civil Leaders
However, the table of contents shows, "Law and Justice" instead of "A Law and Justice" It also does not show the second level number. For example, it shows "Law of the Land" instead of "1. Law of the Land". Does anyone know how I can force the table of contents to show the numbering?
Thanks!

Pages T.O.C. does not include any List numbering and no you can not force it to.
If you want numbering, you'll have to type it manually.
Or use alternative software. Pages (whatever version you are using) is not compulsory.
Peter

My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters are showing up as green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC.

My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters, specifically parameters, are showing up green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC. I can manually fix this in the TOC by changing the character style to none after the toc has been generated, but I don't want to do this.

What application are you running? Please ask this in the forum of the product you're using.

Table of contents not showing items before it

I have a document which has to follow a strict format. It must have pages in the following order:
Cover page
Title page
Acknowledgements
Table of contents
Various other stuff
I've set up a table of contents and it's working fine, except it isn't showing items that appear before it. All I want is for the Acknowledgements page (which is immediately before the TOC) to show up in the TOC, but I can't get it to work.
Is this just a limitation of Pages? Does the TOC only ever show items that appear after it?

pd,
Unfortunately for you, according to the Pages '09 User Guide, Chapter 3 Using Table Of Contents says the following:
Creating and Updating a Table of Contents
Each table of contents (TOC) you create using a Word Processing template lists only the content that follows it, up until the next table of contents. If you want a master table of contents for the entire document, it must be the only table of contents, and it must be at the beginning of the document.
Sorry.

Table of Contents Showing on Desktop, but not in iPad preview

The table of contents was working just fine, meaning that it showed in both the work on the desktop and then when I sent a preview to the iPad.
I'm not sure what I have done, but now, while the TOC shows on the desktop version, it doesn't show up in the iPad preview.
Not sure where to start to solve this. Any help or tips would be great.

Update: I don't know why, but it has started working again on its own. I suspect that shutting down everything and restarting helped, but I don't know for sure. I'm just glad it is working again! Peace.

How do I make a multi-line heading show up as a single line in the Table of Contents?

I'm writing a document where the headings often have a line break in them for the sake of formatting. When I generate a Table of Contents, they show up as two entries on the same page instead of as a single heading.
For example, if I have a section like:
Oh My God
You're Totally Not Going to Read This Section
Section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, section text, etc.
Then in the table of centents it shows up as something like:
The Section Before That Section You're Not Going to Read ... 14
Oh My God .................................................. 17
You're Totally Not Going to Read This Section .............. 17
The Section After That Section You're Not Going to Read .... 20
When what I really want is a Table of Contents like this:
The Section Before That Section You're Not Going to Read ... 14
Oh My God You're Totally Not Going to Read This Section .... 17
The Section After That Section You're Not Going to Read .... 20
(Actually, I have a bunch of sections with titles like this all in a row, so it looks much worse than in the example.)
How do I do this: Get the Table of Contents to ignore the carriage return in the middle of the section header?

Try a Soft return, Shift + Return, instead of Paragraph break.

How to show catalog items with Approval Status:Pending in a Content Search Webpart

How to show catalog items with Approval Status:Pending in a Content Search Webpart using cross site publishing. Thanks in advance.

I don't think you're going to be able to. Usually Approval Status is used in conjunction with Major/Minor versioning and while Approval Status is pending the item is usually a draft.
As a result the search crawler should not be able to see the draft items as it would not have the necessary rights to do so. (Good practice ensures that the Search Crawler has only read access and is not an elevated account for this reason)
Paul.
Please ensure that you mark a question as Answered once you receive a satisfactory response. This helps people in future when searching and helps prevent the same questions being asked multiple times.

Internet Exploer 11 suddenly isn't showing my Table of Contents or Index for RoboHelp 10 output

I generated a WebHelp project with Adobe RoboHelp 10 last November. I had no problems with the TOC or index. Whenever I try to view output today, IE won't show the left pane with the list of topics in the Table of Contents. It also doesn't show index tags. I have no problem viewing this same output in Mozilla Firefox. I just set Firefox to be my default browser b/c it is so frustrating that I can't immediately view changes to my help project. Has anyone else experienced issues with IE 11? I even cleared cookies and the cache, and I still can't see my TOC and index. This never happened before.

Hi,
Thanks to the forums I have found useful patches for RoboHelp 10 (sample links are below). I find that even after installing the latest AdobePatchInstaller.exe fix for RoboHelp 10 that I have to overwrite the whutil.js file in my !SSL! WebHelp_PRO output folder every single time I need to check changes in my output in the browser. I just want to confirm that there is no better workaround than manually copying whutil.js every time I generate my output to check it. Thanks.

Status Check on Table of Contents

My status checks work fine for all of my slides, except when I have my "Next" button jump to a slide later down the line. For some reason I'm not getting a checkmark on the TOB for that particular slide.
Also, on that particular slide, the duration will say "1:03" instead of "0.03." 0.03 is what I have allotted according to my slide timeline. So I guess it's taking into account the duration for all of the slides that I'm jumping over. Accessing the slides that I'm jumping over doesn't seem to give me a status check on the slide either.
Has anyone had this problem?
Sorry if this is confusing!

I'll give that a try and see what happens.
Although, my "Next" buttons are set up that way on each slide (they pause at 1.5 seconds) and they seem to be working fine. It's only when I have the "Next" button jump over slides, for example, slide 8 jumps to slide 21 because slides 9-20 are set up as a Glossary, Examples, Resource Information, etc.
I put buttons on each slide so the student can access the Glossary, Examples, and Resource Information at any time during the training. Then on the TOB, I have these slides turned off so the student only accesses them by clicking the button on the slides.
But I'm open to trying anything so I appreciate your suggestion!

Subject: Status Check on Table of Contents
Hi there
I don't believe the check mark will appear unless the slide plays fully. If you have a button on the slide that is pausing at perhaps 1.5 seconds and the total silde time is perhaps 3 seconds, you are essentially skipping over 1.5 seconds of the slide to visit the linked slide. You might try adjusting the pause point so it's at the end of the slide and see if that improves things. It may and it may not. I'm not certain. But it's worth a try.
Cheers... Rick
