Table of Contents is not working in Pages 5.0?

I am attempting to find a solution to this TOC issue, in Pages 5.0:
The INSERT>TABLE OF CONTENTS sub-menu is grayed out.
I have formatted with custom styles and am using landscape format.
In the Pages '09 it looks so simple to insert a Table of Content.
Is this an incompatibility issue?

Hello pmpope,
The process for adding a Table of Contents in the new version of Pages has changed somewhat. The following article provides step-by-step directions for setting one up.

Table of contents placeholder not working?

So far, everything is working well. I have my book about ready to go, but I need to customize the table of contents. There is a placeholder on each TOC page that as far as I can tell from the Help files, you can drop an image there. However, I can't seem to get it to work. Dropping anything there simple seems to place it on top of the placeholder, not "in" it. How is this done? or is it meant for something else?
Thanks.

My analysis on the Image Placeholder for the TOC page has resulted in the following conclusions.
You ARE able to include any image on each of the chapter pages in the TOC
In order for a chapter page in the TOC to have its own separate image, you must define one of your images in the Chapter Layout for that chapter to have a tag of "Main Image." If you do not have an image in your Chapter Layout defined as "Main Image," then you cannot drag an image into the Media Placeholder for that Chapter in the TOC.
To define an image with a "Main Image" tag
Select the Chapter Layout
Select an Image
Go to Layout tab in the Inspector
Select "Editable on Pages using this Layouy"
Set the tag to "Main Image"
The corresponding chapter page in the TOC will now have that image in the Media Placeholder
You are NOT limited to having the same image in your TOC that is on the Chapter Layout. You can now change the image in the Media Placeholder on that chapter page in the TOC by dragging an image on to it
Let me know if this works for everyone.
Cheers,
Jim

Table of Contents links not working after conversion to PDF

I have created links in a MS Word 2007 document, including in a Table of Contents, a List of Tables, as well as internal cross-reference links. I have converted to a pdf file using Acrobat 9 Pro. All the links were retained except for the page links in the Table of Contents. Does anyone have any insight into how to correct this error?

MG,
You can get links to work in Numbers documents that have been converted to PDF, but it's quirky.
No links survive Printing to PDF
Links outside of tables (links in text boxes, etc.) survive Export in Sheet View
Links inside and outside tables survive export in Page View

Table of Contents navigation not working

I am using Captivate 6. I have a separate TOC, with only 4 items. 'Self paced Learning' and 'Enable Navigation' are both checked. However, when I publish to SWF, or preview, the navigation does not work.
Due to IT team desktop image restrictions, I can only check this in IE8, using Flash 11.1.102.55.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the same exact problem. I do not have the Navigate Visited Slides only option checked. I want the user to be able to just skip to a section. I've noticed it works to an extent, but easliy gets hung up. So if I click to a section, the project either gets stuck or it continues to play, but audio dissapears.

Why does InDesign interactives table of contents does not always work in page mode ?

I'm working on a large document (400 pages) made of 12 Indesign documents in a book. When I export the entire book in one interactive pdf file, some the elements from the interactive table of content do not work. When I export the file as «spread», everything works, when I export the file in «pages» some elements loose their interactivity.
I'm on CS6 on Mac.
(Sorry for my English)
Any solution anyone ?

TS1424 I purchased and downloaded a book in iBooks. I read about 16 chapters. The next time I opened the app to read the book, no words loaded on the pages. It would go to the table of contents, but not to pages in chapters. Any ideas?

Try to reset your phone, hold the home/sleep buttons until it reboots and the apple logo appears, don't release the buttons till apple logo appears. If no luck there, Resync the book. Or delete it and redownload it. Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Web Content Source - Not Working

Created a new web-content source & full crawled it.
When i searched with content text, not working.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that it did not work when you searched a new web site content source in SharePoint 2013.
Please check whether the web site allows anonymous access to its content. If not, we need to configure a rule for the URL which allows us to enter the credential to access the content of site
More information, please refer to the link:

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.

Organize Table of Contents by alphabetical order in Pages

Hi,
Is it possible to organize a table of contents by alphabetical order in pages?
Thanks!

Pages inserts a Table of Contents in page order, that is what a T.O.C. is.
You want an Index.
Export the T.O.C. to Text.
Open that text file in a Word Processor that allows sorting* and sort it into Alphabetical order.
Copy that sorted Index back into Pages.
Peter
* Pages will do this if you install WordService [free] from DevonTechnologies

My curser does not work in Pages. I cannot type.

Open a Word Processing document, sounds like you have opened a blank Layout template which has absolutely nothing to type into, you need to add Textboxes or Shapes.
The Word Processing templates are labelled in the sidebar of the Template Chooser.

How to create a table of contents (TOC) linking to specific pages of different (multiple) PDFs

Hi All,
I would like to create clickable Table of Contents (TOC) that can lead to a sub clickable TOC that would lead to a specific page of different PDFs within a folder.
Is that possible?
Secondly, is is possible to create a search box that upon typing a specific word (not related to text within the PDFs), that word to be linked to a specific page of a particular PDF out of many within a folder?
To make it more clear, I have a database of specifications of equipment and drawings of a building, all in multiple PDF files. I would like to be able to unify all those PDFs and if I type the room number of the building to be presented with a menu of choces pointing to services assosiated with that room, being elctrical power drawings, lighting drawings or drawings of Air Conditioning and Ducting associated with that room. So I type a room number, then I get a menu of Power, Lights, Fire Alarm, or Ducting all associated with that room, then if I click Fire Alarm to be directed straight to the drawing within a PDF related to that room.
Thanks

I would say: Try and Error. Create a copy of your document and unmark in the copied document in the document inspector all boxes for the TOC. Then mark them again. Maybe you should also delete the paragraph styles and mark them again. If that doesn't work, try to copy the complete text of your document to a new created one. Maybe that works.
Good luck!
P.S.: If that doesn't work look here. Maybe this helps.

Table of Contents bookmarks not exporting to PDF (CS5)

I have a 200 page book made up of 15 documents. I've created a table of contents based on paragraph styles and the TOC generates and formats correctly. When I create the TOC, the Create PDF Bookmarks box is checked. When I export the whole book I've tried it with Create Tagged PDF checked and unchecked.
After I export to PDF from the Book palette, the TOC items are links (at least they give me the pointer-hand icon) but they don't go anywhere. The only one that does is the one in the same document as the TOC. (I have tried the TOC both within a chapter and also in it's own document with no other links in it). The behavior is the same in the Bookmarks pane - all are shown but only one works. I've looked at several of the bookmarks' Properties > Actions. It says its "Going to a page in another document" > (document-name-of-the-correct-chapter-but-with-pdf-instead-of-indd.pdf) > Page 1 (this is correct) > Zoom level: actual size.
This isn't right - it's pointing to an imaginary pdf that doesn't exist. It should be pointing to page X in the current document.
Here's what I've tried:
* restarting InDesign
* restarting my machine
* deleting the TOC and regenerating it
* generating the book with all documents open or all documents closed
* moving the TOC to its own document
* probably some other things I've forgotten in the struggle
All of the links and references in the individual documents are good.
I've looked around these forums and this seems to be an ongoing and unsolved issue for other folks using older versions. This is the closest I came to finding an answer but ended up with an Adobe employee logging it as a bug in 2009. Bookmarks not exporting from InDesign to PDF in CS4 By (c_goates)
So here's hoping there is some new information. I've been trying to get this to work for far too long and don't relish drawing bookmark boxes around all 55 of my text links.
Specs: Max OS 10.6.6, CS5 (Version 7.0)
Sorry this is so long, but details help, usually. Thanks in advance for any advice.

There are some known problems with bookmarks and CS5 as well. As far as I know, the 7.0.3 update won't fix them, but it does solve some other problems, so you should install it.
