Table of Contents formatting issue

Table of Contents will not format properly when I change document margins. The TOC looked great until I had to adjust my left margin to 2inches for printing purposes. Now the page numbers are only a couple of spaces from each header, and it looks really bad. Is there an easy fix, so that I can adjust margins without screwing up the TOC formatting?
Thanks!

Thanks Jerrold,
I have certianly considered this an option if I can't get this resolved before I have to turn in my paper.
I bought Pages to write my thesis, espcially since I have to include a lot of capitoned images. I expected an Apple program to run smoothly and be intuitive, but it has been buggy at times, freezing up, and issues like the wacky TOC formatting from changing the margin size don't make sense.
Thanks again for your time.

Table of Contents Style Issue

I am a new user of InDesign 5 and am working with a Table of Contents that was prepared for me in my office. I have updated my text and inserted a few pages into my document and now have some odd formatting showing up in the TOC. I have deleted my text, added it back in, applied different styles and checked to be sure that I don't have any overrides applied. The issue is that the leader (....) seems not to be showing up for about 1/4 of my TOC entries. Any help would be appreciated.
Grainy (sorry) Image below (note items: Filter 4, Import 11, Export 21 as examples)
Thanks!

jclarke2,
You got verify all the styles envolved.
Try first verify this:
For each style included has to be similar like this example. The "entry style" can't be "[Same style]" like on the pic. You have to create one style and verify if don't have any tag besides the leader.
Good luck!

Table of Contents webpart issue

Hi Everyone,
I have added a Table of contents webpart to the page(to display all lists, libraries & sub sites) and I have given the desired site url & set "No.of levels to 3". But I am unable to see any list, library or subsites in my webpart.(Also
I am unable to see the checkboxes "Show pages", "Show hidden sites etc.,) Please refer below screenshot
Can any one help me what might be the issue?
Regards,
Kumar.

Hi Kumar,
Table of Contents WebPart display site contents navigation according to navigation. From the screenshot you provided, are you using Managed navigation currently? In my environment, if I use Managed navigation and insert Table of Contents WebPart, the setting
of WebPart displays as yours.
Please go to site settings > Look and Feel > Navigation, switch to Structural Navigation and test the issue again.

Table of contents formatting in

when creating a book in epm workspace, v11, is there a way to format the table of contents such that it uses aliases for versions and divisions? seems simple enough, but i can't find a setting switch

As far as I know, FR and Workspace are pretty limited when it comes to formatting books... Sorry!
I didn't see anything new in the 11.1.2.1 release notes either: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/index.htm

Table of Contents font issue

I have been having issue with font display in Table of Contents. Please take a look:
In iBooks Author:
In iBook when previewed, it is partially chopped off!
I can only got the font to display right when scale to a size like 36. There is no option to increase the text box height, moving the text up or down, or move to front does not solve the issue.
What do you think? Thanks!

Thanks for the help. But it does not work. There is no text box (only 2 points on side of text). The text height cannot be changed.
The text alignment is default to be top, but tried centre and bottom does not change anything (seems like there is no text box).

Table of Contents Slider Issues

I have been told by iBooks that on my iBook that I have published that when you look at The TOC (Table of Contents) in landscape mode the slider either doesn't move or it goes back to the first page (copyright page). Any ideas how I solve this?

Hi there
Good on ya for reporting. It's fine to sound disgusted. If
you don't tell Adobe they will never know and will blissfully
assume that everyone is pleased as punch with the changes.
Personally, because the TOC functionality was so limiting in
version 3 I just avoided it. As a result, I tended to largely
ignore it in the beta. What I did see seemed like a vast
improvement.
Keep in mind that a future release may also be an interim
update before a new major release.
Cheers... Rick

TOC (table of contents) Formatting/Leader Tab Problems

BACKGROUND
I have found it impossible to format TOCs with leader tabs as I've seen the procedure outlined in numerous forum posts, books, and elswehere. I am an intermediate FrameMaker user running FM 9 on Windows XP Pro. I run the same setup on a home and office machine with the same problem.
I am in the process of migrating very large volumes of our company's documentation from LaTek to FM and this issue is proving to be insurmountable.I need to have complete control over this process, instead of "making do" with the default TOC.
I have spent three days studying every nuance of the issue, which usually leads me to some insight or pattern that lets me solve the problem, or at least share some clue on the forums. However, in this case, FM either doesn't work as its supposed to or it implements my changes in a seemingly arbitrary manner. So I'm not sure if this is a bug or a user error. I've also experienced the occasional crash of FM during all this work, oftentimes this is preceded by the Paragraph Designer window freezing up and refusing to change views within the window (i.e. basic, default font, etc.).
THE PROBLEM
More specifically, I've learned to manage general formatting with the building blocks on the "reference page", but the leader tabs I use for the page numbers almost never propogate, unless I use the sample TOC included with FM.
I am certain they are properly formatted, I've even copied examples directly from files that I know work (FM sample files).
When I implement the process manually, I insert the tab between the building blocks (no spaces), set a right flush tab, double click and choose tab leader option. Then I go to "body page" view, save the document, and regenerate the TOC. Usually nothing happens. Ocassionally, after regenerating several times or creating a fresh TOC, some of the changes magically propogate.
I have even tried importing the format of another TOC, which only seems to work randomly. Mostly not.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Douglas

Thanks for your quick responses, as well as your other suggestions for my project.
I am running FM 9.0p230. I tried upgrading to 9.0.3 when I began encountering this problem, but received an error message telling me I was running the wrong version of FM. If any one is familiar with this error message and can mention the fix before I delive into that problem, it is also appreciated.
I have attached the TOC. I'm not sure how/if this can be used to help me troubleshoot, so please let me know. I am new to the forums and the development side of FM.
I did "update all" on the paragraphs tags in question. If you look in the body view of this page with text symbols turned on, you can see the symbols for the second tab stops I have placed between the text and page number. That informatoin also appears in the Paragraph Designer. Both of those things add to my confusion on this matter, because that would seem to indicate I have globally applied the paragraph tags correctly, right?
If you go to the reference page, you will see my treatment of the building blocks.
Thanks again in advance for help,
Douglas

Table of Contents Formatting

My TOC appears in the following format: Active Directory 5
I would like for the page numbers to be right justified:
Active Directory...........................................................5
Anyone know how to do this? Please email here and at: [email protected]
Thanks.

Hi, Reggie:
Regarding Tim's and Monica's suggestions:
To avoid right-aligned tab positioning problems resulting from the reference page text frame being narrower than the body page text frame, I always set the right-aligned tab-stop position (and other TOC paragraph-format properties) by working on the TOC body page. I manually insert a Tab character in a TOC entry, between the text and the page number, to move the page number to the right-aligned tab stop. When the position and other properties are right, I Update All, to lock in the format. Then, on the reference page, I insert a tab character in the paragraph prototype line, between the entry building blocks and the <$pagenum> building block, save the TOC, and regenerate it from its source file or book, to verify the operation.
I've avoided using the \t symbol, for the tab character, in the paragraph prototypes on the reference page because \t doesn't push the text to the tab stop as a true tab does. The tab character gives a better representation of the tab position, even though the building blocks aren't accurate representations of the width of the entry text or page number.

Table of Contents Section Formatting Issues

Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening in the Table of Contents? It seems that if I have more than 10 sections in a chapter that it pushes the info to the right side of the text box.
In section 10.10 all my text (for the title) is formatted to the left, and I can't figure out why the TOC is displaying it like this... pretty annoying...
Any help would be much appreciated.
Andrew

First off, thanks for the book K T, it's a great edition to my learning how to use iBooks Author, but it was no help. After playing around and becoming quite frustrated I started digging around in the the TOC I've figured out how to format the TOC a cross the entire book - getting rid of the formatting issue awonacott is experiencing. I too am (was) experiencing that TOC formatting issue. Here's what I did to rectify it:
1: Go into your TOC.
2. Go into any Section heading list and double click, then change the TOC to TOC Heading 1, 2, or 3.
For some reason the default TOC gets all wonky when you try to insert a section into an already created chapter. I was having this funny formatting happen to all sections of the iBook I'm creating, not just beyond the 10th section.
I refused to just deal with this crazy formatting, as I believe you should be able to add as many sections as you please without having to trim it down to fit within a 10 sections.
Anyways I hope this helps.
Semper Fidelis,
Tomas

Reports: Other Than Tables, Format Issue, Content

Hi,
I am using Data Modeler 3.0 which I downloaded the other day. I have used the reports function to generate a document that shows table information. This has worked ok for tables but I had a few questions / suggestions:
1) How do I include triggers, sequences, etc in the report? We are exporting this to document the data model and it is not complete.
2) When I open the exported Microsoft XML document in Word 2007, it reports that the file contains formatting items that are not supported in the current version. I would suggest this be updated or perhaps converted to OpenDocument format to be more standardized.
3) Could the report include a linked table of contents as part of the report?
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
1) How do I include triggers, sequences, etc in the report? We are exporting this to document the data model and it is not complete.
3) Could the report include a linked table of contents as part of the report?Well, at this stage reports are static. You can't change them.
2) When I open the exported Microsoft XML document in Word 2007, it reports that the file contains formatting items that are not supported in the current version. I would suggest this be updated or perhaps converted to OpenDocument format to be more standardized.This suggestion will be considered, although you shouldn't have problems opening files with MSWord 2003 and above. Does Word say exactly what it doesn't like ? That's strange.
Thanks.

I created a table of contents in Indesign CS4 exported it to a pdf format. Now having an issue in viewing it in full screen mode.

When I open the pdf document it is in full screen mode and when I click onto a table of content link it is full screen vertical but not full screen horizontal. How do I make it full screen both ways.

You are not making sense. Are you referring to the way the PDF is opened into your PDF reading application? If so, what has that to do with a 'table of contents'?
In any case, it seems not related to a problem with InDesign. Try the Acrobat forum instead.

I'm creating a book format in Pages. I want the page count to be 1 on the first page of chapter one after the title page, table of contents, etc.. How do I do that?

That is not the issue.
Pages/OSX does not save files with crop marks and bleeds.
It also by default saves transparency, which is involved in a lot of Pages' better features, at a rubbishy 72 dpi resolution.
It also makes it extremely difficult to maintain mono-color like black only text, has no spot color and makes color management opaque.
It really is only meant for amateur publishing and printing to your desktop printer.
A commercial printer who is willing to use and print from Pages may have better results but at the cost of considerable micro-management which defeats the point of this "cheap" solution.

Issue in printing table to PDF format

Hi all,
I am really facing an issue in designing reports. I have to customize the report that i am displaying in the dashboard while printing or sending it as mail.I need to create a multipage report.
I have a table displayed on the dashboard. Now with the help of the print button i can print the table to PDF format. But before printing in need to add some pages to the report like on first page i have a introduction(static) then on second page i have a table of content then after that i need to place the table that is on the dashboard etc.
Could it be possible to modify a report like this or any other alternative?
Thanks a lot.

I found the solution .
I incorporated query,infofield,company logo in report designer and then i imported the report designer into WAD

Table of Contents Deactivated in HTML Formatted Emails - How to Fix?

Problem Details: I produce a newsletter with an embedded table of contents. In iOS7, users were able navigate via the table of contents and traverse to the corresponding articles. This functionality has been lost upon the installation of iOS8. My newsletter is embedded into the body of an email message. The navigational hyperlinks that comprise the Table of Contents no longer function after upgrading from iOS 7 to iOS 8. The issue still persists with updates to iOS8 updates since its release. Hyperlinks continue to work, but not the navigational links in the Table of Contents (that navigate down to the respective content in the body of the email message).
Note: Apple Support has been able to recreate this problem. This problem did not exist with iOS7. First started with the installation of iOS8. I have delayed the upgrade to iOS8 on one of my remaining devices and I don't have this problem with my iOS7 device. Despite being able to recreate this problem, the solution seems hopeless. I have tried to get the attention of Apple many times to no avail. My newsletter is ready by thousands of people each day. This is a problem - Apple where are you??
Note: This functionality continues to work in devices that still have iOS 7 installed, web browsers, android devices, blackberry devices, etc. The issue is isolated solely to devices with iOS 8 installed.

Hi Tom,
I use MSWord to create the newsletter. I then save it as a "Web Page" (html format) and place it into an Outlook email message. The table of contents functionality works in Outlook, web browsers, Android devices, blackberries, iOS7 devices. However, not with iOS8.
I had a great talk yesterday with Apple support. They again were able to see the problem on their end. They have elevated the ticket to an engineer. Hopefully they will figure it out. It is kind of where I was 2 months ago on this issue with Apple (9/24/14), but somehow I have the feeling that the problem is in the right hands this time. I will keep the board posted. In the meantime, any ideas are welcome .
Thank you.
