The missing table of contents

I have put together a table of content of all the options and features of the new discussion forums. I am surely have missed some stuff. I would have posted it here a document but I am not allowed to create a document anywhere (as seems nobody else):

One key source of the confusion is the only partial overlap between accessing elements via ones personalised homepage and the menu at the top right.

Hi there
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news here, but (borrowing from Freud here) a video is just a video. TOC is not, nor never has been part of a video.
When you choose the Video output type, you make lots of sacrifices. Interactive things are no longer interactive (Rollovers, Click Boxes, Text Entry Boxes, Buttons, etc.) because without doing lots of additional coding and having a cast of supporting files, videos simply aren't interactive in any way. Well, other than to start and stop them.

Can't find the topics from the main table of contents

I need urgent help. I am still running RH 8 for Word (2007). I published the entire project. When testing the main table of contents, the books and topics appear as expected, but when I try to go to any of the topics I get the message:
The topic does not exist. Contact your application vendor....
From the individual projects I can see the topics. When I publish them and view the contents all seem to work fine, but it does not when viewing the entire project from the main table of contents.
The main project looks as follows:

Tried that and still have the problem. The RH help lists the following workaround for the error
message :
To workaround this WinHelp viewer limitation, you can either manually insert the Help filename statement on every page of the external CNT file or allow RoboHelp to automatically do it for you:
1 Open the Help file containing the included external CNT file.
2 From RoboHelp Explorer’s File menu, select Project Settings.
3 Select the Contents tab.
4 Select the Include Help filename with pages option. When you save the TOC file, this option automatically places the "@helpfilename.hlp" inside the CNT file on every page.
5 Click OK.
6 Save the external CNT file.
7 Recompile the Help project
I went to the main index project which contains the external cnt file and tried to select the contents tab (no such tab in the project settings). Then I went to the actual project, and again, selected Project Settings there is no Contents Tab. Is there any other way to get that contents tab?
This is how my screen looks like:

How do I remove the "Show" (Table of Contents) link from my page?

I am using Robohelp 7 and exporting to WebHelp to use on an internet page. When clicking the help icon from my internet page, I am displaying a specific page within my Robohelp content, and not including the Table of Contents. However, at the top of my rendered page, there is a "Show" link automatically being displayed. If you click that link, you then get the full Table of Contents. I do not want that "Show" link to be displayed at all. But I can't figure out where it is coming from.
This image shows the "Show" link (image also attached below):
This image shows the code showing the Show, but we don't know where it's coming from or how to get rid of it (image also attached below):

Hi there
In your Single Sourc Layout properties there is an option labeled "Show Navigation Link in Topics". You need to clear that option when you generate.
Cheers... Rick

How do I get rid of the extra table of contents that appears following the Pages export to epub?

When I export my document to epub out of Pages and then open it in ibooks (or any other ereader for that matter) an extra table of contents with links to the document sections appears at the beginning. This toc has its own numbering system--with its numbers set in front of those I have assigned. This toc is ugly and superfluous and doesn't seem to have anything to do with the table of contents available in the dropdown menu used while actually reading the document. How do I get rid of this extra table of contents? I'm sure I must be missing something obvious, but I can't find a way to remove it. Thanks for any help with this problem.

Find the Missing font text content in indesign document

How to find and get the missing font content in the indesign documents by using the SDK. give a tips and techniques.
Anybodys help me.

It wont answer your question, but you could have this problem too:
I have a problem in my current project where text frame having no text make the document report the usage of a font wich we dont want the project to use (times by exemple). The problem being that Indesign report usage of a font wich is in fact not applied to any text. Weird!
The easy fix is to identify those items (text frame class + no text) and reassign them as "unassigned".

How do I make a table of contents for a collection of six short stories that is after the legal page and NOT in the front on an unnumbered page?
When I first started I made a title page and then pasted in my first story from a .TXT file. After cleaning up I went back to the front a couple of empty lines ahead of the story and typed in the story title. Unlarged the font size and centered it, then

You can't do that. This is what the Pages User Guide, downloadable from your Pages Help menu, says:
Creating and Updating a Table of Contents
Each table of contents (TOC) you create using a Word Processing template lists only the content that follows it, up until the next table of contents. If you want a master table of contents for the entire document, it must be the only table of contents, and it must be at the beginning of the document.
You can do it manually though.

How to update a table of contents when the feature "update table of contents" is unavailable?

Hello folks,
I've been struggling all morning with this issue and am completely desperate.
First, some info:
- I am making a spanish versions of an english documents: everything in the original doc was then edited, including TOCs. What I got at first, was a first spanish document already filled with spanish content.
- I was not the primary creative of the document I'm workin on and am unable to get in touch with whoever that can be.
- My document is a 200 pages text only document, with 12 chapters and, at the beginning of each chapter, a specific TOC for that very chapter.
- Inside each chapter, there are only Sections and Subsections, no other style. Those are the two levels in the TOCs.
- There is also a General TOC at the beginning of the document: that one only shows the Chapter names and the page number where to locate them.
My problem:
- Somewhere along the way, from one doc to another, the TOCs stopped to update the page numbers automatically.
- Now I have sections and subsections that are shown in one page (for instance 204) but they actually are on page 135.
- When I try to update the TOCs, I stand on the TOC itself as I was told in many tutorials, but the "update table of contents" feature is unavailable, even in the main TOC at the very beginning of the doc.
It is like if I wasn't standing in the actual TOC, but there is no actual TOC anywhere that I could refer to.
What can I do? I am changing the wrong page numbers manually but, of course, that is not ideal... and it may become more and more tricky while I keep producing new documents each based on the previous one.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Warm regard from sunny Paris, France!
Sasha

You've just confused me.
My understanding of how this is set up is that either:
This is a book, and there is a master TOC that includes all book documents and a document-specific TOC in each component file, or
This is a single file and there is one master TOC that includes all sections and a section-specific TOC that includes only the individual section.
In the first case, I think you would want two TOC styles set up, one that includes the chapter heads (if I understood how you said this worked) for the for the master, and you would include all docs in the book when you generate it, and a second style for the individual chapters, with the subheadings you want to include.
In the second case, it would be similar, but instead of only one style to cover the section TOCS, I think you would need to create a unique set of pargraph styles for the headings in each section (they can all be the same format, based one section, just with unique names), and then make a TOC style for each section that includes only the styles from that section.
OK, wait a sec. I just reread what you said: "Another thing: when the numbers are "linked" and updating well, they display indide a little box. Not a text box, but a kind of little frame around the numbers. That frame makes it imposible to delete just one number: when the TOC says that Section 6.1 is in page 135, for example, you cannot delete just the 5, it deletes, not just the 3 numbers, but also the doted tab."
I think these are NOT normal TOCs created by using Layout > TOC (but you could replace them with ones that are, if you set up your styles properly and the text you want to include is appearing on the pages). Those little boxes you mention sound like cross-references, which should update automatically without any intervention at all. Unfortunately, cross-refs can be flakey, especially if they point to another document. I'd open the cross-refs panel and see if you need to recreate a bunch of links.

Reducing the topics in default table of contents

Hello- This one should be easy, but I can't figure it out.
How do I reduce the number of topics in the default table of contents. For example, I want to get rid of all the level 2 subjects. For example:
Summary 1
Highlights 1
Sub Highlights 1
I'd like to get rid of the sub highlights... my table of contents is 2 pages for a 5 page document.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Oh man... I'm an idiot... I found it.. was super easy in the TOC section. Didn't look in the document inspector sections...
thx

How do I update only the page numbers of a table of contents in Indesign CS6?

Hi there!
Please help! I'm making a medical book with more then 1300 pages and about 40 different table of contents.
I want to update only the page numbers on all the table of contents. But I only see the option to update the complete table of contents.
I saw on other forums that this is a familiar and very old problem. Did Adobe already fixed this?

hahaha thanks no I won't Using cross-references in the future! but sending the request anyway; nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Thanks again!

How to create the Table of Contents in Preview for a pdf file?

Does anyone know how to use the Preview to create a new table of contents or add a new link to the existing table of contents?
Thanks

Preview cannot do this - it is not a PDF editing utility. If you have the original document in an editable format (eg a Pages, or Word document) then you can edit it, print it, and from the print dialogue, save as a PDF. Otherwise you'll need the full Adobe product or similar to acheive what you want.

Two different page numbers in the same line in my Table of Contents

Hi,
I'm having trouble finding a solution to this problem. My table of contents entries are showing two numbers instead of one. I don't understand how this happened.
The entries should look like this:
These are my Table of Contents settings:
I've been searching all over the internet for a solution but I can't find any. Hope you guys can help.

Hi Peter, thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. I solved the problem already. Though I don't know why, I deleted the old table of contents first before making the new one. And the problems now solved. Thanks again!

How do I include the heading of the table of contents in the table of contents?

I am preparing a table of contents in InDesign CS3 (Macintosh OSX 10.5.8)
I have added all the paragraph styles to the list of paragraph styles I want to appear in my Table of Contents.
However, I would also like the table of contents itself to appear in the table of contents:
In case the table of contents is placed on page 3, it want it to look like this
Table of contents:
Title page....page 1
Acknowledgements...page 2
Table of contents ...page 3
Table of figure...page 6
Chapter 1...page 10
and so on..
I have included the paragraph style in the list of paragraph styles I want have appearing in my table of contents. But this does not result in an entry in my table of contents that is named 'table of contents'.
I would be grateful for any kind of advice.
Thanks in advance

To do that add a non-printing frame on Page 3 and add the words Table of Contents using one of your styles that gets picked up.

When I publish some of my projects, the pdf won't play if it has a table of contents.

I've been asked to provide .pdf versions of the published projects, and when I open some of them, they look like this:
I am using Captivate 5.5, and if I uncheck "Show TOC" in the Project > Table of Contents menu, the course will play normally. Since I need to include the TOC in the course, I need to fix this.
Thanks for any replies.

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!

Peter Spier wrote:
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 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.
