Table of Contents Question

Hello all - I'm brand new to the forums and relatively new to Frame, but I've been a tech writer for 10 years.
I added a Chapter to a book, and it won't show up in my ToC.  I did not set up the original ToC, so I'm not sure why it sees the other Chapters (I'm still learning).
I have played with a few things but can't get it to work.  I don't want to set up any paradigms that could limit the creativity of your responses, so I'll wait before I explain what I tried.
Any suggestions?

The actual name of the paragraph format is ChapTitleTOC.
I put that tab in there in place of a space, and nothing changed.  Let me just copy paste what I have on the reference pages and you can take a look at it.  Here it is:
<$paratext> <$pagenum> 
        <$paranumonly> <$paratext> .........................................................................<$chapnum>-<$pag enum> 
openObjectId <$relfilename>:<$ObjectType> <$ObjectId>
SECTION <$PARANUMONLY> - <$PARATEXT>
        <$paranumonly> <$paratext> ..........................................................................<$chapnum>-<$pa genum>
        <$paranumonly> <$paratext> ..........................................................................<$chapnum>-<$pa genum>
        <$paranumonly> <$paratext> ..........................................................................<$chapnum>-<$pa genum>
         <$PARANUMONLY> <$PARATEXT> ..........................................................<$CHAPNUM>-<$PAGENUM> 
FOREWARD ......................................................................................... ............................... <$PAGENUM>
<$PARANUMONLY> <$PARATEXT> ...................................................................<$CHAPNUM>-<$PAGENUM>
openXmlElementId <$relfilename>:<$UniqueXmlElementId> <$RelativeXmlElementId> 
<$PARANUM> <$PARATEXT> ..........................................................................<$CHAPNUM>-<$PA GENUM>
SAFETY SUMMARY ......................................................................................... ......................<$PAGENUM>
That's it.  I don't know the significance of caps vs normal, bold vs not bold, a dash vs a space vs a tab, single spacing vs double spacing, etc.
Can you make sense of this?

  • CC 2014 export to epub Fixed Layout Table Of Contents Question

    I have an .indd which I exported to an epub 3.0
    looks fine except there is a table of contents in the .indd and it does NOT work in the Epub.
    I see a tuts for adding a navigation TOC in an EPub 2.0 doc but I need to have the TOC from the .indd as a linked / working TOC.
    Any help here?
    R

    Ok just to add a little here so the problems I'm having are in ONE post.
    The document was not made by me, I needed to go from .indd to Epub Fixed.
    AS mentioned the TOC was ALREADY in the .indd as well as hyperlinks thru the document.
    When I go to export as EPub Fixed  I chose the TOC style ( I know there are a few options for this here like removing the original TOC and replacing with a new  OR just using a navigation TOC which would be seen using an Apple Reader THAT WORKS
    But, TWO things are problems, when exporting to fixed NONE generated  TOC's work, new generated and original ( which I left in there just to see)
    and second, ALL the hyperlinks that were working in the pdf before do NOT work in the Fixed Layout BUT I did do a flowing text export and in that those hyperlinks only WORK in the re flowable.
    Any help here?

  • Table of Contents Issue/Question

    Hi everyone, I hope I can put my question accurately into words. 
    I'm working on a 450 page product catalog in Indesign CS5 for the mac.  The catalog has 7 main sections, in which there are numerous smaller sections. I need to create a table of contents for these smaller sections, however, my issue is this;  my table of contents is based on the product names which I've applied a paragraph style to, but, also included on the same line that the product name is, are several small icons.  I used the library function to put these icons into place.  I put my curser where I wanted the icons to be, went to the library, right clicked on the icon I wanted, and selected place item.  I found this to be the easiest way since there were approximately 1500 products in the catalog.  So, my issue is, now that I'm creating a mini-table of contents for these numerous sections, the icons are included in my table of contents, which I don't want.  I can manually go in and delete each icon, but I'm thinking there has to be a faster way.  I thought of possibly a grep style but can't figure out how to make that work.
    Any help would be appreciated!  It's going to take a while to delete each one of those.  I hope I've described this accurately; please feel free to ask any questions if it's not clear.
    Thanks so much!
    Annette

    Oh my gosh, that did it!  Thank you sooooo much! 
    I couldn't figure out how to choose just those characters because I hadn't designated them as anchored objects; that was throwing me, but I guess Indesign saw them as such.
    Thanks again, you've saved me hours of work!
    Sincerely,
    Annette

  • Table of Contents navigation question in Captivate 5.5

    Hi - I'm a fairly new user of Captivate (5.5.), and hope that someone can answer this question. I'm trying to set up a table of contents with navigation that will not let users go to slides that they have not yet viewed, but still enable users who have left and re-entered a course go back to any previous slide that they've viewed. Here are some details:
    * I'm publishing the course using the SCORM 2004 setting, and testing it in SCORM Cloud and our LMS (Cornerstone)
    * The table of contents navigation is set only to "Navigate visited slides only."
    * After reading as many of the related posts as I could find on this forum, I've been able to get bookmarking to work - that is, the course will take the user back to where he or she left off. And by using the InfoSemantics TicTOC widget, when a user returns to the course, all previously viewed slides are checked off in the table of contents.
    * However, whatever I've tried, a user who leaves and goes back into a course can only navigate back to the first slide, not to any of the other slides he or she already viewed. I'd like for our users to be able to go back to any previous slide they viewed (for example, to review the section just before the one where they left off, or to review any part of the course for reference after completing it).
    Is there a combination of settings, or a widget somewhere, that will let you both limit forward navigation to visited slides only, while still allowing users to go back to any previously viewed slide after exiting and re-entering a course? And this would need to work in an LMS.
    Thanks for any advice you can give!

    I did have the self-paced learning option checked, so I unchecked it. I did not have "user must past quiz" as required (it's set as optional). I tried adding an interactive button to the first slide and giving it a score. But after re-publishing, I still can only go back to the first slide (not any previously viewed slide) if I stop and re-enter the course. Here are the settings:
    Quiz Reporting:
    Manifest:
    LMS Customization:
    Quiz Settings:
    Quiz Pass/Fail:
    Settings for the interactive object on the first slide:
    Settings for the "quiz" on the last slide:
    Thanks so much for helping me with this.

  • Table of Contents Order Question

    I have a table of contents set up in my document with a Section Header and underneath that the page number followed by the page title.
    Example:
    ELEPHANT
    3  PEANUTS
    The problem is that on right handed pages it puts the Section Header BELOW the page number and title. This only happens on right handed pages. I did notice that if the text box for the Section Header covers the whole page, then it lists it correctly, but then I have to add a tab and remove it after in the TOC. Any thoughts/ideas? Thanks!

    I'm not sure if this is your problem, but it sounds like it could be. TOC is sensitive to frame placement. ID starts in the upper left corner and looks for frames going down the page (if I remember this correctly, it's pretty complex), then will read the content in that frame vertically in each column before moving to the next frame. Once all frames at a given x-coordinate are found, ID will look to the right and start again.
    It's the x/y coordinate of the text inset of the upper left corner of the frame that governs the order, with the x-coordinate taking precedence (I think), and text alignment is not considered, so right-aligned text in the right column of a page can get picked up first if the frame is extended toward the left edge of the page far enough.

  • Creating a Table of Content (toc)

    Hi
    I am very new with Output designer, so please dont mind if it is a silly question.
    I have to create a PDF report which has around 15-20 sections. I need a toc (table of content) at first page and at the specified position with page number for each section.
    All the sections has some header and detail subforms, so pagenumber is not known at the begining for each sections. I am using xml file as the data file.
    So can i use JFPREAMBLE to get the page number for different subforms, and write that on to the toc subform,
    i did lot of mind storming but not able to resolve my problem, please help.
    thanks and regards
    nitin

    Hello,
    I was able to create a TOC for a recent customer in the UK.
    Took a lot of work, but it worked.
    You will have to create a TDF to get the data that you require to be on the TOC, but this is quite easy. The best way is to get the TDF to output the result as a seperate file, and then get the orginal data to call the file as the first thing that you do by using the ^file command
    If you would like an example please drop me a line at [email protected]

  • 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.

  • Do I need Debenu PDF Aerialist 12 as a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat in order to make a Table of Content to an existing PDF

    Dear colleagues at this forum,
    This is my question, i have a big PDF file, 341 pages, another 500 pages, I want to make a table of content, and I read that this Program Debenu PDF Aerialist 12 as a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat does provide this solution, which allows you to quickly build a table of content, however the program is expensive at close to five hundred dollars, i wonder why has not Acrobat Professional put this service included in the program, if one can make a solution of Table of Content and Index, this would be great. Does Acrobat have this function already or do you think that I must buy this program. Yes one can make a table of contents using word program then entering it to the PDF file and linking each line of the table of contents with the relevant page, but this would take a long time, and the solution provided by Debenu sounds like good. I am looking for your advice as i do not know much in this field.
    Best regards,
    Bachar

    Acrobat does not have this built in. Normally, the table of contents is prepared at the same time as the document, perhaps in Word, which will use heading styles to do it automatically. Then this is converted to PDF. It is very unusual to do this work late with a PDF, I guess this is why it is not a core Acrobat feature.

  • How to delete a table of contents?

    It sounds like a stupid question, but I cannot delete my table of contents again? I only used the TOC in the draft, but don't need it in the final version of my document anymore. But - it sounds stupid - I cannot delete it. I marked it and hit the delete key, the back key. No more idea of how to delete the TOC. I even found no hint in the manual.
    Any tips? Thanks.

    Double-click the TOC so that it is surrounded by a dark border, then hit the 'delete' key.
    Good luck,

  • Table of Contents and Section Numbering ??s

    Hi, we are using CS6 and have a couple questions about trying to use automated section numbering and table of contents in a single document. We don’t do this often (actually, never used auto-TOC before), so I just want to see if I’m missing something obvious.
    SECTION NUMBERING WITH SECTION INTRO PAGES
    Our document (a style guide) is divided into sections. Each section begins with a section intro title page, which is basically just a blank page with the new section’s title nicely styled. We are setting up our sections as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. And we would REALLY prefer for the page numbering to be ’1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.’, where X.0 is the section intro page.
    1) I can add the sections OK with a prefix of 1., 2., etc. But InDesign does not allow me to start the section numbering at ’0′, it must be ’1′. So my intro pages HAVE to be 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, etc. instead of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 etc. Any creative workaround to solve this??? We really don’t want the intro pages to be X.1, as they have no content and we want the X.1 page to be the first with content on it, NOT X.2. How do people generally handle a section intro page?
    AUTO PAGE NUMBERS AND TOC
    We are trying to use the automated Table of Content feature and running into an odd issue. We have page titles on top of each page in a unique paragraph style (H1). We are adding the page number at the beginning of this paragraph using ‘Type > Marker > Current Page Number’ and a unique character style. It’s working fine on the pages, showing the appropriate section numbering we setup for the document (e.g., 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, etc.).
    But when we make the table of contents, the ‘page numbers’ at the beginning of the titles are coming in as absolute numbers (e.g., 7, 8 , 9, 10, 11, etc.) instead of our section numbering. I checked the General Preferences, and it is set to ‘View: Section Numbering’. And when I exported an interactive PDF, the bookmarks also add the absolute page number at the beginning of the titles as in the TOC. But if I set the TOC to include page numbers automatically, those DO display correct section numbers (they just precede or follow our titles with the incorrect numbering).
    2) Any ideas why the TOC and PDF Bookmarks would be picking up absolute numbering while the actual titles on the pages show the proper section numbering?
    THANKS!

    I've never tried adding a second marker to a paragraph like that. Why not use a numbered list instead?
    Just checking in here. Not sure I understand what you mean about using a numbered list. Do you mean instead of the page numbers in the titles, or instead of the Table of Contents? Not sure how either could be automated to stay in sync with adding/removing pages and creating the TOC links and bookmarks in our PDFs.
    - Is there a bug when the TOC pulls the specified title paragraphs and they have page numbers in them?
    Thanks. Still trying to see if we're doing something wrong as this is the first we've played with TOC.

  • Table of Contents & Index: Which Acrobat 9 Product?

  • Add section titles to "table of contents".

    I am attempting to build a book from a Genealogical Generational listing that indicates the generation number at the beginning of each section. I also add that number along with the section page number at the bottom of each section. i.e. Generation 1  page  n.
    Is there any way to automatically pickup the section title to add into the "Table of Contents"?
    Using my present method, highlight the section title, click "Paragraph Style" (edit to my preference); will show only page 1 for all section beginning pages and seems unprofessional. alternatively, I could just leave out the page number somehow and attempt to "Tab" the first page of each section. Basically, what I would like is:
    "Generation 1
    Generation 2" etc.... or something similar without page numbers and the section name is the page link to the first page of that section.
    Tks

  • Word to PDF does not keep hyperlinks in Table of Contents ?

    I have used my free trial of Adobe CreatePDF before purchasing the annual subscription.
    I was surprised to see that the PDF document did not keep the clickable hyperlinks that Word uses in a Table of Contents. As this is the exact same behaviour as the "Save as PDF ..." option that I have natively available on my computer I don't see the point of paying a subscription to the service. Or am I doing something wrong?
    MAC OS X Lion (10.7.2)
    Office for Mac 2011
    150-page .doc document with Section, Chapter, and various Heading Styles defined
    WORD automatically-built Table of Contents
    In the WORD document, the page numbers in the Table of Contents are hyperlinks to the concerned page
    Convert WORD to PDF using "Save as PDF ..." option in the "Print..." dialog box
           ====> Table of Contents hyperlinks are not preserved (the page numbers are no longer clickable)
    Convert WORD to PDF using Adobe CreatePDF
           ====> Table of Contents hyperlinks are not preserved (the page numbers are no longer clickable)
    Am I missing something or is this the way it is intended (not) to work?
    P.S.: I know that, on the MAC, I can use Preview to manipulate the PDF document I obtain through "Print..." > "Save as PDF...". One of the things I can do is to select the page numbers in the Table of Contents and add a 'link' to each. But this is a VERY cumbersome process. Actually, I have to create a link for each page number, one at a time, on a table of contents that may consist of in excess of 50 entries. As I have a collection of 50-odd documents and am on a schedule of distributing new versions every two weeks or so, this procedure is completely unusable. Hence my search for a (paid) service that converts my documents while preserving the hyperlinks of the Word-created Table of Contents. Either I am doing something wrong or such service does simply not exist ...

    Good day fgrexsg,
    You are correct in that the workflow you described will not produce links in the resulting PDF files.  The steps that Lori outlined work great if you're working on Office for Windows in terms of getting the links to work when converting using the CreatePDF service. 
    In order to make this work on the Mac, you'll have to take a few extra steps within Office first.
    You're going to have to repeat this step for each item in your TOC.  While this will be time-consuming for a 150-page document, it will work.
    Within your TOC, highlight the entire entry listing (e.g. Topic 1.........3)
    Once the entire line is highlighted, choose Insert > Hyperlink
    Click 'Document' to select a location within the current document.
    Under the 'Anchor' option, either type in the Heading/Sub-heading (must be exact) of the page you want the hyperlink to attach to or click 'Locate' and find the proper Heading/Sub-heading within the structure.
    As I said, this will probably be time-consuming on such a large document, but it will work. 
    Unfortunately Office for Mac just simply isn't as full-featured as its Windows counterpart.
    Please let me know if you have any questions.
    Kind regards,

  • 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?"

  • PDF table of contents spanning multiple PDF files - is it possible?

    Question for Acrobat Experts:
    Question 1:  Is it possible for a PDF file to contain a "left-hand-side" index/table of contents that includes the contents from itself AND other PDF files?
    I have a set of documentation in 10 separate pdf "books". However, I want users to be able to see the table of contents for all 10 books, even if they only have one book.  Also, if they click a topic from another book, that other book (pdf file) should open.
    Is that possible to do using Acrobat? (and if so, which version?)
    Question 2:  Is there a way for the all-encompasing Table of Contents to be generated real-time and always be accurate, (even if the user gets a new version of one of the "books", but not the others?)
    We want to be able to slip-stream one book at a time to end-users, but have the TOC be accurate at all times.. Not sure if PDF files can do this. I believe CHM files can.
    Thank you!

    Question 1: Yes.
