Table of Contents Disappeared

I had been updating my project for several hours when words on a page would appear and disappear. I never saw that happen so I shut down RoboHelp and my computer. When I opened the project, I found that the TOC was no longer there. All of my pages were there so I pressed autocreate TOC, but it wasn't in the way I needed the TOC. My project is on the C: drive and everything is copied on my network, except for the several hours of work I did this morning. Is there a way to copy the TOC from the network version to my C drive so I can save all the work that I did this morning?

You could try copying the HHC file back in. Copy your project first to be safe.

Table Cell Contents Disappears Please HELP!!!!

PROBLEM: I have a different tables within different table cells in the Master table. One table per Master cell. Once I click on a table cell (0,0) and click on another table cell (1,1) the cell (0,0) blanks out. Likewise with other cells so that if I've click on all the cells in the Master Table and then clicked somewhere else all cell contents have disappeared.
QUESTION: Do I need to call some UI refresh procedure????? I have a cell renderer which returns the table for each Master's Cell.
I don't if this is clear but please help!
Thanks

Hi,
the problem is that the DefaultCellEditor can't handle tables.
So you have to write your CellEditor, which returns another table as Editor.
class YourTableCellRenderer implements TableCellRenderer{
    private JTable table = new JTable();
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
                                                   Object value,
                                                   boolean isSelected,
                                                   boolean hasFocus,
                                                   int row,
                                                   int column){
         // set Data and Layout
         return table;
}then set the Editor to your MasterTable (master) with.
master.setCellEditor(TableCellEditor anEditor) or
master.setDefaultEditor(Class columnClass,
                             TableCellEditor editor);Hope this Helps.

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?"

Decision table rules manager content disappearing

Hi Experts,
We have BRM decision table deployed . I can access that from Portal and Rules manager . I can modify the content of that table . No Problem till now .
The problem is :
Every time transport happens to P for any thing (not related to table ), that content of table is removed automatically .And i have to do the entries again Manually .
this is very difficult and unreliable . Please suggest how we can make that content persistent even we deploy something .or how can i upload content fast after deployment . say from some excel or file .

Hi Govind,
Well it could be a real problem but I suspect you are missing a couple of steps... to check...
Before making any changes in your NWDS, you should be downloading the current active version of the Rules Project and importing that into your NWDS. Suggest you read the SAP Library help on this one and you'll need to get security to give you BRM Download access - there's a security action for this that they need to add to your security role in the production environment.
This is the link you need:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/4d/9d62f71ede478e9496a29fe1533976/frameset.htm
As for how to upload the decision tables content en masse... that's that the export/import (to/from MS Excel) buttons are for in the decision table section of Rules Manager and where you, or better still your business user (these are business rules after all ), should be doing this.
Hope that helps,
Jocelyn

My Table of Contents are showing in my ibooks author, but disappear when I hit preview. Help!

Everything appears normal until i hir preview, and the Table of Contents are nowhere to be found. What gives?

There are 11 chapters, with about 7 sections each. Portrait is disabled. Now that I think about it, after I checked the box to disable portrait, that could have been when it stopped showing up. Will it be rejected for not having it?

ID CS5: How to include additional text into a table of contents and how to hide text from it?

I have the following problem:
1. I'd like to include additional Information in my table of contents which I don't want to appear in the text I refer to.
Example: I do have a picture with a caption saying:
picture 1: Blablabla.
And I want to have the source of the picture as additional information in the table of contents:
picture 1........Blablabla (source: thisandthat)........23
Still I don't want this additional content to disappear, as soon as I update the table of contents!
How can I achieve that?
2. And how can I have this the other way round?
Let's say I want the source in the caption, but not in the table of contents.
So the caption says:
picture1: Blablabla (source: thisandthat)
but the table of content says:
picture 1........Blablabla.....................23
I was trying to achieve this by two different praograph styles in the caption. One which would be listed, and one which wouldn't be listed, but this of course resulted in always having two paragraphs in the caption, which I'd like to avoid:
picture1: Blablabla
(source: thisandthat)
Any solution to this?
Best Regards,
Rainer Schwachsinn

Sorry, missed the second part of the question. I think the only way to do that is to use invisible "dummy" text of some sort, and if you're going to do it for some entries, you might as will do it for all.
One of the easiest ways is to put the text you want inthe TOC into an anchored frame attached to the actual heading in the text (so it moves along with it). Use a unique paragraph style for this text, and include this style, not the one applied to the headings inthe text, to make the TOC. I usually use a character color of red to make it satnd oout so I don't forget it's there, and the position on the page isn't really critical. Select the anchored frame, open the Attributes panel and make it non-printing. You'll see it in editing mode, the TOC will pick it up (as will variables, if required) but it will disappear on output.

Problem with automatic table of contents in latest Pages 5.1

So here's the deal. I'm using "Bottom text" to automaticly put page numbers on each new page, But I don't want page number on the cover (page 1) or on the introduction page (p2), so I write something else in the bottom text there, and them simply click "start new bottom text here" on page nr 3 (the page where I have the table of contents). This way I get page numbers on all future pages but no on the two previous ones, but the problem then is that the headlines from earlier (the introduction) is left out from automatic table of contents. I tried experimenting, and if i chose "start new bottom text" on page 4 (the one after table of contents) all headlines from there on out disappears from table of contents. How do I fix this? The thesis I'm writing is going to be very long, and I really don't wanna have to do table of contents manually. I also can't have page numbers on the introduction page as this is a major exam thesis and it needs to look very professional and excellent, because my whole grade is depending on it.

An interesting bug, if that is what it is.
It could be you have simply chosen a Section T.O.C. which only does a T.O.C. for the section it is in.
Try adding the initial unnumbered pages as manual text before the T.O.C. starts.

Spacing in table of contents

Is there a way to adjust, to increase, the minimum amount of spacing between a table of contents entry and it's page number for single line paragraphs? I know that I can insert non-breaking spaces in long paragraphs, but if a paragraph fits on one line, that doesn't help.
The screen grab below shows an entry on the first line that is too close to the page number. The second line is the way I want it to look, but I have to do a forced return to set it up. Of couse, when I re-generate the table of contents the forced return disappears, so I'm hoping that there is another technique.
If editing the frame.ini file would control the spacing, how woiuld that be implemented?
Is there a script to control the spacing?
I'm cross-posting this in the FrameMaker unstructured forum as well.

Jay,
The method I use is not obvious but works because of the way FrameMaker seems to work.
For EACH paragraph format used in your TOC, the ones ending in TOC, open the paragraph designer. One of the tabs (cannot remember which one) has a place to specify spacing adjustments. There are three boxes: minimum, optimum, and maximum. Typically, the minimum is set to 75%, the optimum to 100%, and the maximum to 125%. Add 100, or 200, or 300% to the minimum AND the maximum, BUT NOT the optimum, which remains at 100%. For example, the minimum could be 175%, the optimum 100%, and the maximum 225%. Click Update All. I would do this in the template file, and then import the paragraph formats into all the files in your book. Then update the book.
I THINK FrameMaker tries to adjust the spacing using the minimum and maximum, determines where to break the line, and then sets the spacing to the optimum 100%. The result is a line break a short space before the end of the line. You can experiment. The more you add to minimum and maximum, the longer the space between the line break and the end of the line.

Extra Table of Contents entry

Has anybody seen an issue with iBooks Author where they get an extra blank Table of Contents entry at the beginning of the book?
In iBooks Author, my TOC shows 10 entries. Yet when it is exported to ibooks format, the ibook contains 11 TOC entries, with the first one being blank.
The template I used has a placeholder for Intro Media which I did not use, and I'm wondering if this is part of the problem. Yet I can't find anywhere to disable putting Intro Media into the book, and because the TOC entry is blank, I can't tell what it is actually trying to point to.
Thanks,
Katrina

I believe it was the first example. Here's a screenshot that sort of illustrates the problem.
Chapter 1 - Introduction, is actually the 4th TOC entry, but is the 5th highlighted dot on the bottom (there are title, copyright, and dedication pages prior). I don't have a screenshot of what's displayed when the first dot is highlighted (the error condition). Note a total of 11 dots at the bottom.
Interestingly, the following screenshot comes from the same reading session, I believe, and the TOC looks fine.
When I asked my tester to try to obtain a screenshot of the blank entry, he reloaded the file and the problem had disappeared. Note the now correct 10 dots at the bottom, with title page correctly highlighted as first.
So, thanks for your help KT, but I'm going to have to chalk this one up to an unreproducible glitch, or something strange on first-time loads. Reminds me of the infamous software testing line: "works on my machine". ;-)

Acrobat Pro 9.0 freezes when viewing/scrolling through the table of contents of a document

I am hoping someone can help me or has experienced the same problem I'm about to describe. I belong to the technical publications group of a fairly large company and I review a lot of PDF documents. I just installed Acrobat 9.0.0 (via CS4 Design Standard) and I've noticed on larger documents where there's a full page or several pages worth of Table of Contents, Acrobat 9.0.0 seems to freeze up when I begin scrolling through the TOC. For example, if I want to use the Text Edit tools or use a sticky note, when I press on an icon, Acrobat will freeze for a good 10 seconds, then will allow you to press the icon. It tends to freeze each time I want to make my next edit or even pressing the up/down arrow buttons to go to the next page. Once I get through the TOC pages, Acrobat seems to function normally--no freezes.
Has anyone experienced this? Would appreciate any kind of advice on how to fix--perhaps there's a patch or update?
I didn't experience any of this using Acrobat 8.0--I never had any real problems with Acrobat until 9.0.0.

Your issue may not be related to a difference between v8 and 9.
I have not had this problem on my computers, but a coworker had this issue. For many documents that others were able to open and scroll through without issue, his computer was freezing and unfreezing. IT determined his graphics capabilities were not able to keep up with the requirements of working with larger documents and gave his computer a RAM upgrade and a new graphics card. Particularly during scrolling, higher demands are made on the computer to graphically render and re-render page content. Documents giving him problems before became a non-issue.
A new graphics card is obviously a $$$ solution, but you might want to check to see if your RAM meets the minimum requirements and check to see if there are any program updates (Help > Check for Updates).
I have had an issue of pdfs freezing, but not specifically in the table of contents areas. If your document has pages with images that have an unusually high number of layers, it may affect the ability to work effectively in the document.

Acrobat XI PRO: Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically in top, after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file

Hey
I have now tried for hours, but now I give up!
MY WISH -
Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file.
I have already bookmarks, shown on the screen (see screenshot below) but I want those bookmark to be visualised in a separate TOC in the top of the combined files.
This new TOC (which I have inserted) shall be printable and serve as a cover page in a binder.
I have seen other cheap pdf.programs in the market (e.g. PDF Converter Professional 7.3) which are able to make the above things, easy, fast and nice.

Flex 3 project, all visible content disappears

This is a bit hard to describe. It's a complex Flex app for a realtime multiplayer game using socket connections. Previously, everything worked fine, but after some recent changes there is a point where all visible content disappears.
What is REALLY odd is that this ONLY happens when the SWF is embedded in an HTML page. If the SWF is loaded directly by the browser, either locally using file:/// or served by a webserver (i.e. http://localhost:8080/swfs/MySwf.swf) then the SWF works as expected and transitions to the next state without a problem.
Also of note is that no error is thrown and, yes, I have the debug version of flash installed and can see popup errors by intentionally causing them to test.
I'm at a loss for how to debug this. I started by commenting out all sections of the code that had recently changed, but the problem persisted. Since then, I'm shooting in the dark, commenting out sections and testing. For a bit, I thought the problem might be with the embed code itself, but I'm using the default generated by Flex Builder and it has not changed in the past 10 months that the last version of this SWF was working. I've tried using every alternate window mode, but that didn't change anything.
I've been testing mainly in Safari 4 (OS X), but tried Firefox 3.5 to confirm that the problem wasn't mac-browser specific, and tried Firefox 3 (Ubuntu) to confirm it wasn't OS specific.
Does anybody know, on a high level, what could cause this kind of problem? Specifically...
1) What can cause the display to suddenly clear?
2) What differences are there between running the SWF directly (even loaded from a webserver, so it's not local content) that could affect rendering?
3) Any other advice on things to try?
Attached are two images:
(a) the one with content elements is the desired effect, and was the result of loading the swf directly, and
(b) the one with just the plain background image is the result at the same step but embedded in an HTML page
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion Barna. I've been doing that, though, and discovered that the code continues to run in the background, not having hit any error. I literally had logging statements between every line of code in the function where the content disappears, and every logging statement was output as it should be.
So, I tried executing a different function that does nothing but change the current state instead, and the problem still occurred.
The keys points thus far are:
(1) no error messages thrown
(2) no errors in the AS3 code
(3) but a call to currentState = "lobby" (which is the next desired state) causes the contents of the display to vanish
(4) again, only happens when embedded
If there is an error, it seems to be in the state change... which is MXML, so I can't log output there, but I'll see if commenting out particular element(s) or changes will shed some light on where an error might be...

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

Problem with Sections and Table of Contents

I have just purchased pages. Both my iMac and MacBook have Lion. I do not have the "sections" button on the toolbar. When I open the "inspector" and try to insert a Table of Contents, the "paragraph styles" pane is empty. How can I correct these problems as I would like to use pages for a family story

You have started your document with a Page Layout template. TOC doesn't work with text boxes. You need to use a Word Processing document and have the text in the main text layer.
In the New from Template Chooser you can see the types in the left side bar.
