Table of contents pages are all messed up

Yikes.
I brought in a photoshop file for each chapter as the chapter title. On the chapters it looks great.
On the table of contents it's using the same photoshop file and quote for all twenty chapters, but it does change the photos for each chapter.
I can't delete the text boxes either.
So, how do I make it so the table of contents recognizes what text and chapter headers are on the actual pages?
Many, many thanks!

Can't get marching ants. Here are photos so you see what could be going wrong.
Here's how the chapter looks in the book:
Here's how the table of Contents looks:
The text is exactly the same for every chapter. If I change it it does an overalll change for every chapter page in the TOC.
Thank you so much for any help,
Elaine

Word 2013 Table of contents - page numbers all change to 2 when print (or print preview)

I have a single section document in Word 2013. The first page is a TOC. The document is 4 pages long and has three Level 1 Heading styles through out the document. The TOC initially appears correct.
When I go to Print Preview the TOC will revert all page numbers to 2.
Changing the Options "Update fields before printing" and "Allow fields containing tracked changes to update before printing" has no effect (before anyone suggests this).
The only solution is to manually update the TOC, save to PDF, and print the PDF.
Anyone can reproduce this problem. Try it....
Start with blank document
Insert a TOC (ignore the error message, we will come back to this)
Go to the end of the document and insert a page break to move to page 2
Now type a heading in Heading 1 style and press enter
type some dummy text (=rand(20) for example)
Continue steps 4 and 5 to insert more headings and dummy text.
Now return to the top (page 1) and update the TOC
So far so good. Everything working well
Now go to Print Preview (Ctrl+P)
Everything is still good
Escape back to the document
Go to Print Preview again
AGGGHHHH! All the page numbers have reverted to page 2
Happens every time without fail. Totally reproducible on all our office PCs.
I have seen many descriptions of this behavior on different forums and
not one solution. But I am like the proverbial dog with a bone - I will not let this issue go until MS gives me a solution !

Shaded band on Table of Contents page

Hi everyone
I wonder if anyone can help me with a query on the Table of Contents page? Everything is looking good except that at the bottom of the page there is a shaded square on the left and a band all the way across the page and extending beyond the green b/g. It doesn't look like it is part of the design of the TOC page and is a bit unattractive. This is the "Natural Science" template.
In chapters where I have lots of sections in the contents list, the section names do not show up well in this shaded part. I have moved everything around on the page so that the text box with the section names is on the RH side and the heading on the left, but this section text box has to be pushed further up the page because of the lower shaded band and looks a bit unnatural there.
Any ideas? I enclose a picture of an example page to show what I am seeing.
Many thanks
Eluned

I can help a bit by saying that those shaded areas at the bottom are placeholders for the thumbnails or preview images of your chapter's sections and pages. When working properly it looks like a film strip.
What I can't say is why yours aren't showing up. I'm having the same problem and signed into the forums to look for solutions to this. I hope someone else can offer a suggestion for us both.

Creating a table of contents page using combined documents

Adobe Version 7.0
When combining multiple documents as one .pdf document, can a table of contents page be set up simultaneously? If so, can page numbers be added?
We have several type of documents (.xls, doc, pdf) that we combine on a regular basis to create one document to view on line and/or print in a book format. We manually type a Table of Contents page to correspond with those documents and manually insert page numbers. Is there a better way?

I would suggest you create the base document in WORD and then print all to a new PDF. That may provide the functionality you want with an automatic table of contents creation.

Created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, it comes up on each page as a small black dot. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show?

I created site in iweb 08 and posted to netfirms... the pages are all loaded up but there is no nav bar, where the nav bar should be is only a small black dot on each page. How do I get the nav bar to load up and show? It was a disaster loading up my site as it changed the case of the letters and at first no pages were seen, so I had to go through and change the letters that were supposed to be cap, back to cap in every file. I don't know if this has something to do with it or not. The tech support doesn't have an answer. Please let me know if you have any ideas and solutions. Thanks bunches!

IPhoto 11 events' dates are all messed up

Hi, my iPhoto 11 events' dates are all messed up.
I tried a solution that I found in the forum in which one should delete file com.apple.iPhoto but I don't have the said file.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Yes you do. In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
You can then find and delete the necessary preference file.

How do I create a Table of Contents page for ePub that link?

I am new to E-Publishing, I have been able to my overall book but cannot figure out the Table of Contents. I need them to link to the chapter page. I have created a table of contents and they dont link. I tried to create hyperlink within the document but they only work in the pdf version and not the ePub. What can i do so that they link in the ePub version as well ?
I dont know if this information would be helpful but I also wanted to mention that All the chapter names are set to the same style, and that the Table of content I have created so far was made through the TOC option in InDesign. Also the layout is fixed and I am using InDesign CC 2014

Make sure the TOC is in the style source document
Thank you so much! This was the thing I did wrong. There had been another document marked for style source. Now it works perfectly.

Table of Contents - Page Range

I am formatting a catalog in Indesign CS5 and I am trying to work out snags now before our vendors send in their files. I have a simple template with the Product Classification and the Section at the top of each page (created as master pages, different master for each section but all based on the same master) and I want to automate a Table of Contents to include each Product classification. I formatted each product class with the same paragraph style and when I generate the TOC, it simply lists each page number instead of a range which is what I would expect it to do. For example:
Product Classification A........2
Product Classification A........3
Product Classification A........4
The same product class runs across multiple pages, and because I have the paragraph style applied in the master page they show up as individual TOC entries.   I was wondering if there was a way to automate the TOC with page ranges, instead of just each instance of the paragraph style. The only workaround I could come up with was just including the text that I want to show in TOC on a hidden layer on the first page of the page range with the correct paragraph style applied to each one and then typing the range in manually after my whole catalog is finished. Or I could just let ID do its thing and then delete the unecessary entries when it's updated.
I need it to look like this:
Product Classification A.......2-4
Product Classification B.......5-10
Better yet, I need the heirarchy to look like this if possible:
Section
     Product Classification A.......2-4
     Product Classification B.......5-10
In order for items to show up in an automated TOC, they have to be overridden in the document (if they are on master pages)...so I don't think I could even automate it this last way unless I would override all master items, which would cause more harm than good in this case ( I never know when something might change).
Could someone offer a solution or another workaround that might be easier than just typing out the TOC and formatting it by hand?
Thanks in advance.

The commercial InDesign Cross-References Plug-In from dtptools.com might work for you. There are some free supplementary scripts mentioned on the product page that you can request. One creates a TOC by using cross-references to extract source content that you specify. It works a lot like the built-in InDesign TOC tool, but it may be more customizable. There's a free trial. If you can't make it do what you need, often an email to their support techs will get a prompt reply (allowing for time differences between Europe and wherever you are) and some useful suggestions.

Table of Contents page numbers on next line (solution won't work!)

I'm having this problem where the page number for my item in the table of contents appears on the next line instead of allt he way to the right on the same line. Example:
Chapter 1 . . . . . . . . . . . .
4
instead of
Chapter 1 . . . . . . . . . . . .4
A solution has already been posted, but it won't work for me:
"This is simple to solve. Select the TOC entry and show the text inspector. There press the "Tab" button for the tabulator seetings. At the bottom is a list of tab stops. Select the last one with a double click and set the number to a slight lower number then the width of your TOC area is. Make sure the tab stop is for right aligning by activating the button on the right side of the tab stop list (but I think it is already). Do that for all TOC levels and don't forget to save the styles." -Frank
When I try to do this, I type my desired tab stop in (5 in, incidentally) and then as soon as I click outside the field it reverts to the default, which is the full width of my column.
Anyone know why this might be? Thank you!

Just to be clear, are you trying to set you tab stop at the 5 inch mark? What is your left margin setting? I believe the tab setting is the distance from the left margin, not the actual point along the paper width. Since you said in an earlier post that you are working on a booklet, I thought perhaps your left margin + 5 may be exceeding the allowable width inside your margins.

Creating button that will take you to table of contents pages

I'm using CS4 and have created a 30 page document with a table of contents (TOC) on page 2. On my master page I have previous and next page buttons that have rollover states. These work.
I want a button in the middle that will take you to the TOC page.
I have tried creating a text anchor on page 2 and setting the action of my button to go to anchor but in the button window the text anchors area is grayed out and has 'none' in it.
I also tried to have a button with a rollover state just for show (no action assigned) and putting an invisible hyperlink on top of the button. The link goes to page 2. This only works on the areas where my hyperlink does not overlap the button.
Is there a way around this?

Hi Sparkgapper,

When I publish to folder, the 'blank' pages are a mess

When I 'publish to folder' everything is fine, except for the 'blank' pages.
I've put lots of word on the blank pages, and underlined, done the letters in different colours etc. But on the published blank pages, they're a mess. The words are all different sizes and colours, loads of letters are underlined, they're all over the place.
On the original pages, I have neat paragraphs, it looks all tidy, all laid out nicely.
Why does this happen? It's driving me nuts!
Please help!

Blank pages are for doing anything you want. Add text, images etc and put them anywhere.
I always start from a blank "Black" or "White template and never use any other theme.
For web safe colors, open the color window in any application and go to the swatches icon at the top - that's the middle icon. Click on Palette: and select "Web Safe Colors.
This page will give you a better idea....
