Table of Content Help - Anchored Objects/Listing Order

For the love of god this is extremely frustrating. I have been searching for literally hours trying to find the solution.
I have a large document, linked frames from page 1 through page 44 for example.
On many pages I have figures, and using an incrementing paragraph style, these figure captions are numbered sequentially.
When generating a table of contents, any figures that are in the main linked frames are created in the proper order.
My issue is that on a few pages, I have figures inside anchored objects - basically an anchored text frame with a picture and the figure label text using my paragraph style.
These anchored objects are not being put in the table of contents in the proper order - they are being added to the end of the toc! Indesign should be smart enough to add items on the page in the proper order - be it the main frame or an anchored one!
For example
Figure 1 - page 1
Figure 2 - page 1
Figure 3 - page 2
Figure 5 - Page 3
Figure 4 - Page 2 <<< huh?
Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.

After looking at this a bit more, this may or may not work so we might need to get dirty on this one .....................
Some clues can be found here : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/bip-bookbinding-176639.pdf
Looking at Page 7, it should be obvious that we can add additional deatils to the reports, including cover pages.
Though, after looking at Page 8, I think I may have you slightly in the wrong direction. toc-template appears to simply cover the commands for the table of contents and there is another template to control everything. But is that file visible to edit?
If you run FRConfig.cmd, you can find more clues.
Go to the MBeans tab, expand com.hyperion, then expand Financial Reporting, and Attributes.
The two attributes that immeidately jump out are TextPrintTemplate and BookTOCPrintTemplate
- TextPrintTemplate is the FR_TextTemplate.doc file in <<EPM_ORACLE_INSTANCE>>/products/FinancialReporting/bin/ folder
- BookTOCPrintTemplate is the toc-template.rtf file previously discussed.
Once again, though, the other template exposed to us is most likely just driving the content and is not at a high enough definition level for this to work how you want it to.
I would say to use the example in the PDF and try adding that to the table of contents page before it does all of the loops. Perhaps it will work from there, perhaps not.
If that doesn't work, Thursday we can attempt to drill into this more.

PM Object list & Order time confirmation link tables

Hi Gurus,
We are using the Object list in the maintenance plan and the PM order is triggered. The list of functional locations are maintained in the Object list.
The monitoring / Inspection details are captured against individual object list during the time connfirmation using the SORT FIELD.
To track the time confirmation with reference to the functional locations used in the object list a report needs to be developed.
I can understand that the Object list initial details are stored in the table "OBJK".
However the data update after time confirmation is not refecting in the table "OBJK".
Can anybody share your experiences.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Raj

Narashiman,
1. During the time confirmation (IW41) by selecting the Object list push button on the top of the page, the "SORT FIELD" can be updated and the "processing indicator" can also be set against each object line item.
2. The updated "SORT FIELD", "processing indicator" information during the tme confirmation can be seen in the order under the tab page "Objects".
Regards,
Raj

Hello,
I'm writing a dissertation and need to include a TOC. I have it inserted and roman numerals for the pages before the intro, but I have an Abstract and Acknowledgements before the table of contents. Each is using the same heading style as all my other headings through the document.

Sharepoint HTML Table of Contents help

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to create a table of contents on a sharepoint page, but have never used HTML before, so any assistance will be much appreciated.
I have inserted a web part into my sharepoint page that shows a list of subsites. Now, I would like to edit the HTML in the web part so that only items that begin with a certain letter or number are shown. How can I go about doing this? Are there any special
codes that I can use?

Hi Mark,
If you are developing the web part, I suggest you can filter the item you want to retrieve using CAML Query "contains" condition and Server Object Model.
Then you can bind the datasource to a grid in the web part.
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:

Still need help - Anchoring Objects

I posted earlier and thought that my problem is fixed but it isn't. This time I have a screen shot so that you can see the problem better.
Here is what it looks like when I anchor this photo to the text below it! I'm not exactly sure whether it has to do with word wrap or anchoring. I tried making the text box smaller but it doesn't help! If I anchor it to the text above it then it will pull the object into mid air!
Does anyone use Anchored objects or is it more hassel than it's worth?
Thank you for your help!

Here's some new screen shots in helping explain my delema. I'm wanting to anchor this object to the paragraph below it, but when I do that it brings a line of text up behind/above the object.
Then I anchored the object to the paragraph below it. You can see the text on the below picture moved up above the image when I anchored it! I don't want that text up there. When I try shrinking the text box, it just moves the image down with it.
I'm wondering if on object can only be anchored to something above it, and if it isn't anchored to something above it than it brings whatever it's anchored to above the object?
Thank you for your help!

Table of Contents help

I have written a document that has 49 pages.It is a book of poetry.I have all the titles of each poem in a different font size.I would like to create a table of contents that displays the name of each poem with the correct page number.I do not know anything about how to do this or anything about paragraph styles.I know you must have to define the style then apply it to do it properly but can you lay it out in black & white because i am totally lost.
anyone acan contact me if they wish on any means just ask for my number & we can figure this out

Do all your titles look the same? Or do you have different looks for each poem?
If they're all the same, click in one and then in the Paragraph Styles panel, choose New Style and call it Title.
Now click in each Title and apply that style by clicking on the name in the panel.
Now use that style to drive your Table of Contents style.

List view of PDF Table of Contents missing

In iBooks, PDF files can have two types of Table of Contents, thumbnail view and list view. My problem is some of my PDF files lack the list view of the table of contents.
I'm under the impression that the list view TOC in iBooks is created from the bookmarks that exist in the PDF file before importing into iBooks. I've been successful in adding new subheadings in the TOC by modifying the bookmarks in the PDF file before installing to iBooks, so I'll be surprised if that's not the case.
I have two files that have bookmarks in the original PDF file, but when I import into iBooks, there is no option for a list view of the TOC, only the thumbnail view. Can anyone offer any help as to why a PDF file with bookmarks won't show a list view TOC when imported into iBooks?
While we're at it, when you tap on the TOC button in a PDF file in iBooks, it always takes me to the thumbnails view. I would prefer it default to the list view. Is there any way to do that?
Thanks.

There may be more user-friendly ways of doing this, but here's one way:
Open Terminal (in the Utilities folder).
Use "cd" to change directory to the folder you want to print
eg cd /Users/myuser/Documents
Use "ls" to list the contents to a file
ls -al > filelist.txt
You can then open the filelist.txt file from Finder in TextEdit and print it.

Table of Contents in IBA

I am using iBooks Author using a previously created iBooks Template I have created. In my new book I have three chapters each with a different name, typed into the top heading of each chapter page.
When I go to the Table of Contents, I get the list of sections and page numbers all OK, but no Chapter Title OR the chapter title is the same for all three chapters (from the previous iBook). If I add a field on the first chapter page the title I use is repeated 3 times in the TOC.
Hard to explain but very frustrating and holding me up. Help!

Not all templates provide the same type of TOC.
Which template are you using?
Are you looking to have your book work in landscape, portrait or both?
You may want to experiment with other templates to see if you can find one that better suits your needs. As well, confirm your workflow with the video on using iBA in iTunes Connect.

How do I add headers to the Table of Contents?

Hi there,
I have a book that mainly consists of text boxes rather than inline text. The main title (on each page) is what I want to show up in the table of contents so the reader can just tap the title and jump to the page. How I tried to do this was make the titles "Header 1" and then go to table of contents and add that to the list but it doesn't seem to be working. I am thinking it's because TOC might only work with inline text. Does anyone have any other suggestions for this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Caleb

Sorry, I'll try to describe this layout as best I can and if I still need to change it to make it work then I guess that's life.
Page Layout
Preface
Mission Statement
About the Author
Acknowledgements
Using the Manuals
Chapter 1 - Muscles of the Lower Leg
Soleus Medial
Soleus Lateral
Plantaris
etc.
Chapter 2 - Muscle Quizzing
Soleus Medial
Soleus Lateral
Plantaris
etc.
So when your in the table of contents, you can swipe between preface, muscles of the lower leg, and quizzing pretty easily. In preface (underneath the preface title in the table of contents) it shows a list saying Mission statement, about the author, etc.) I want that same list to appear for the pages under Muscle Quizzing.

Is there a way to create a table of contents listing the order of tabs(sheets) in a Numbers document?

I am planning my wedding and I have this huge Numbers document with 20+ tabs and I have plans to add many more tabs. Is there a way to create a table that has two columns: column 1= order that a tab appears, column 2=tab name? For example, my first three tabs are called Venues, Must Haves, and To Do List (in this order. I'd want this table of contents to be in the first sheet of the document, so it would be like sheet 1. Then I 'd want like the cells of column 1 to be like 2, 3, 4 (2nd, 3rd, 4th sheet in the document), and then the cells of column 2 to say Venues, Must Haves, and To Do List. I can make a tiny table of one cell in each sheet that I copied the name of the sheet and then do like a cell reference for column 2, but I'm having trouble w column 1.

There is no referential value for the order of the sheets, just the sheet name. Only two things I can think of to suggest:
Do the same thing for the first column that you do with the second (i.e. put a referential column in the same table as the Name and point to that).
Seriously consider using a word processor program. Numbers is probably the wrong tool.

Expandable list - Table of Contents - Please Help

I used the code found on the following page to create an expandable list that worked great: Expandable list : at www.learningmovabletype.com
I created a table of contents for our Policies and Procedures that showed the main topics and when clicked listed each policy subcategory. The following link is for this page:http://bsacapheadstart.com/PoliciesandProcedures.html
My company bought the Adobe CS4 package that included Dreamweaver several months ago and I am trying to create this same page using it. http://grantee.bsacapheadstart.com/Policies%20and%20Procedures.htm
The problem as you will notice if you go to this page and click on the categories, is that only the first topic will expand and all the others will not.
I have reviewed the code several times and do not see any differences between the first topic heading and the others; nor between the code that works on the first page and the page I am creating using Dreamweaver.
I have thought about using the Spry Collapsible Panel or Accordian but it is not exactly what we want. Besides everyone is already comfortable with this layout.
If anyone could please help, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Start with valid code. It makes trouble shooting much simpler.

Copy paste anchored objects in a table

Hi all!
I must design very often posters with a lot of brands logos (events sponsors) distribuited like anchored objects in the cells of a table.
Very frecuently, the list of brands changes after designed the poster, adding or deleting someones, and then i must replace the logos one by one.
I'm programming a script that moves the content of the cells, making space to the new inserts, or filling the space leaved by brands out. I use the "content" property of the object "cell", and it really works with text (its useful for me in others cases, anyway) but it makes absolutly nothing with the anchored objects.
Somebody have any idea that can help me?
Thanks for your help, and sorry for my english!
Jose

Oh, and what is very helpful:
The parent of an anchored object is a Character Object.
Example 1:
A text frame with an anchored object (the magenta square).
The text frame is selected.
If you ask for the count of characters in the text frame:
app.selection[0].characters.length;
The answer is "5"!
The anchor, that is indeed the anchored rectangle, is treated as a character.
If you select the anchored object and ask for its parent:
app.selection[0].parent;
The answer is "[object Character]".
To move such an anchored object without loosing its anchordness, you have to move the character.
In the above case, the character is characters[0] of the text frame. Or more precise, the characters[0] of texts[0] (all formatted text in the text frame) of the text frame. You also could go a step backward and say: in this case it's the characters[0] of texts[0] of the parentStory of the text frame
To move it somewhere else (e.g. to a cell of a table), you must move it to another Text object.
Every insertion point is a text object (like every character).
Example 2:
A table comes into play:
The text frame is still selected.
And the following code will move the anchored object (indeed the character) to the table:
var myTextFrame = app.selection[0];
var myTable = myTextFrame.parentStory.tables[0];
myTextFrame.characters[0].move(LocationOptions.AFTER, myTable.cells[0].insertionPoints[0]);
Situation after executing the snippet:
Hope that helps,
Uwe

Creating TOC: order of anchored objects

Hey scripting experts,
i have a question creating an automated table of contents.
The problem is, that I am using anchored objects (text) in a text frame/story. Let's assume there is a text frame, starting with the anchor of an anchored object that contains the "headline # 1" and is placed e.g. on the top of the page. The anchor is followed by "headline #2" and "headline #3" (both simple text, no anchored object).
When generating toc, the order of the headlines will not be read as desired. The anchored object unfortunately is not added at first, but at the end. So the generated order is: #2, #3, #1. I would prefer #1, #2, #3.
Do you think, there might be a suitable (and scriptable) way to teach InDesign, to count an anchored object according to the position of the corresponding anchor in the text? Yes? I would be glad for any advice!
Thank you!
Jan

Hi Peter,
thank you very much for your quick and technically versatile reply! Unfortunately my answer reaches you slightly late – due to Easter/holidays (hopefully you spend them relaxed ...).
Nevertheless i am really glad having received your hint. At the moment i am still a bloody beginner in scripting/xml-rules, but trying hard to forge ahead. Maybe aming for a specific target causes progress ... You signalized me there probably is a solution, so with your hint at the back of my mind, i will start practicing now.
Many thanks and best regards
Jan
