TOC bullet before leader dots (with pix)

Can someone help me make this bullet go away? For some reason, my TOC style is inserting a bullet in front of my leader dots. There is no bullet in the heading style that it is pulling from - and there is only a paragraph break after the header in the document. And yes, the bullets are printing. Thanks!

No need - you just helped me figure it out! I prepared a smaller version of the file to send to you saw that it didn't have the problem. So I compared the good version with the bad and noticed a difference in the TOC dialog box (between Entry and Number). The bad field showed "^8^t" I changed it to "^t" and the bullets went away. Thanks!

FM10 Can't generate the TOC with leading dots

Hi everybody,
I have read some useful threads here about this problem but I still can't seem to be able to resolve this leading dots issue for my TOC.
I have already ensured that the reference page for all of my frame files in my Book have the same Reference page TOC entry. When I generate my TOC the leading dots are missing!
I then open the Reference page for the TOC file as well and paste in the same TOC entries from my other frame files, and then update the book to regenerate the TOC.
This also does not solve the problem.
Any help resolving this issue would be really appreciated!
Here are screen shots of my Reference page for my TOC(below). I have ensured that this same section is present for all of my book's frame files too (in their Reference page sections for TOCs).
ChapterTitleTOC
Heading1TOC
Heading2TOC:
And my generated TOC

I have this happen all the time in FM9.
Do you already have a TOC in your book file with the correct reference pages?
Sometimes I have to do it twice, I don't know why, but if you have a TOC in your
book file and then make another TOC, mine usually works...just a thought..

Tab with Leader Dots to Text that Covers Multiple Lines

I have a numbered list with copious amounts of information in it that is connected by leader dots. It is very mush like a table of contents or a restaurant menu (e.g. "name of the dish" ........ $ price). My case, however, has one simple nuance that breaks everything and is not explained by any of the conversations or documentation that I've been able to find via searches of this forum and the rest of the web.
What if the leader dots lead to something that does not fit on one line?
Here's an example:
Basically, what I need is for everything between the Tab (which generates the leader dots) and the End of Paragraph (when I push Enter) to stay to the right of the dots. Don't let my little example fool you, the lists I'm dealing with are very long and subject to change order drastically. Surely, there must be a way to do this but I am completely lost. I've considered just winging it and putting things in their own text boxes and forcing alignment manually through various methods. But, again there is so much content and the order of it will almost surely change, so I want to keep everything in an editable, easy to work with format.
Thanks so much to whomever might have insight or advice on what to do!

Hi Mike,
Why not a simply regex! Nothing else to do … or to loose!

Custom Leader Dots

I should know this but am having trouble making uniform leader dots for a ToC
no matter the size/font of each line entry.
I did read one thread, but it wasn't clear. Someone suggested adding underline to a leader that
you can then customize with a dotted rule in character styles?
I have always done shift+dash in the leader field in tabs but this tactic doesn't give
me access to stroke options.
Thanks,
Jane

Thanks riott.girl. I must not have explained my situation
well enough. I have different font styles and sizes in the
Table of contents list. If you just use a period, for example, each line
entry will have a line of leader dots based on that
font size and style. This means they all look different.
I am trying to find a way to easily make them all the
same.
The only way to do that using your suggestion is to
then select each line of dots and set up different
character styles. But they won't be identical without
lots of work. The line of dots mimics the letterspacing
of the font. Some are tighter, some are more loose.
There must be a way to make them all identical without
so much fiddling.
If you're not sure what I'm talking about, set up a
list with different levels of text (like main head, subhead,
sub-subhead), style them differently and apply a period
in the leader box.

Compensating for tabs and leader dots when converting to HTML

A FrameMaker document contains a series of "tables" which are actually very long lists. They have the appearance of a TOC: a text phrase, a long line of leader dots, a tab, and a numeral at the end of the dots.
Since the tabs and leader dots vanish when converting to HTML, what might I do to either reconstruct the missing dots or re-create the look of a table for these lists?
Thanks,
Karen

Hello Karen,
There is no way to automatically replace the tabs or leaders. During the conversion all of the information is completely stripped away, leaving no trace of it in the html code. In my documents I typically set them up like this:
In FM
Test Switch[colon][space] …………………..OFF
Test Switch: …………………..OFF
When converted to html
Test Switch: OFF
There is another, but more difficult way to keep your tabs and leaders somewhat intact, by the use of tables. If you put the data in a table you can keep the information separated by columns and rows. Also you must manual put periods or dashed instead having FM do it. When this is converted to html the data will remain in the tables. By removing the borders of the tables in FM it will appear clean, however; once you convert it to html you’ll see the borders again. You can either leave it this way or control the table properties by a CSS.
I’m not sure how my examples will show on the Adobe Forum, but I put them in.
In FM
Test Switch
OFF
In FM without borders
Test Switch
OFF
When converted to html
Test Switch
OFF
When converted to html with CSS
Test Switch
OFF
I hope this helps

In Design CS 5.5 --- Question about Leader Dots ("RIGHT TAB")

In Design CS 5.5 --- Question about Leader Dots ("RIGHT TAB")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4kiyByY4A0
Can anyone help???

Apply a Character style to the tab character—don't try and do it from the Paragraph style. You can stay with a period as the leader and manipulate the size and spread of the dots via the character style. So here I've applied the Leader character style to the tab or the right indent tab and changed the point size and tracking of the style to make a leader with smaller dots and more spacing:

Leader Dots

I created a paragraph style for leader dots to align $ amounts. It's not a TOC, but part of a form. It said to right justify, but the leader dots are not going all the way across the text box. They stop in the middle. How can I fix this? Thanks!

Hard to say.
Right indent on the paragraph style? Frame margin on the right? Didn't set a tab all the way to the frame's edge?

Clicking noise before audio regions with AU plugins

Hi
know this is a very old topic but this, "Clicking noise before audio regions with third party AU plugins" Does this happen to everyone with Logic or is this just for special Logic owners?

Ronny hughes wrote:
Ok folks just needed confirmation that it was not just me getting this.
But can i put this to you? I'm doing some Beta testing on a set of plugins and i am having loads of problems that no one else seems to be having,
So it is plugin specific i.e it doesn't happen on all 3rd party plugs and also now that you have confirmed it's not just my Mac.
I would say it's not your Mac but a combination of Logic and specific plugins.
Quick explanation...
Logic as plugin and VI host does not flush buffers as both plugins and VI become "inactive" when Logic is stopped, this differs from most other DAWS that keep instruments and plugins idling/active. I've always thought this possibly leads to Logic's quirky behavior regarding "disk too slow" and "system overload messages", as well as plugin noise as a region is approached and dropped notes at the beginning of a project.
As I understand it from a couple of developers I've talked with (also doing beta testing) the AU spec was at some point modified to accommodate Logic's behavior. It's now up to the plugins/VI to empty buffers when Logic is stopped. Part of the noise you're hearing is leftover plugin data being dumped as Logic approaches the region and activates the plugin.
Again, this behavior is specific to Logic.
Make sure the developers you're beta testing for have the latest AU developers tools/spec.

You need to copy the iTunes liubrary from your Old computer, or its Backup, to your New computer...
See Here for one way

Or...

DMZ zone with PIX 501

- How do I setup a DMZ zone with PIX 501 firewall? Do I need to use an additional router? I have CISCO 1605 at my disposal.
- If I can't do that, what would be an alterantive way to set an FTP server similarly to the DMZ way.
(We're using IPsec/GRE VPN between our 3 sites. we're on W2K network).
thanks,
oleg

When talking about setting up a DMZ, a PIX model with atleast three interfces is required. On a PIX 501, only two interfaces are available, an outside interface (ethernet) and an inside interface (availabe as a 4 port switch). For stting up a DMZ, you will need an additional interface and that would mean getting a higher model of the PIX. The idea of using a router on the inside interface and then configuring restrictive policies on it might work but will make the setup messy and you are unlikely to find a satisfactory level of support for it for the simple reason that not many neworks are deployed that way.

Posting in a non leading leadger with an open item G/L Accounts

Dear all,
Iu2019m facing the following problem.
Iu2019ve a document posted in a non-leading ledger with a openu2013item G/L account.
I taught that this kind of posting is not permitted by SAP-standard.
Is that so?
The management of G/L Account was never changed: it is always been defined as open-item in FS00..
Thanks in advance
Alberto

Correct, if your account is open item managed, then you CANNOT post to that account in individual ledgers.
Please check the setting 'Clearing Specific to Ledger Groups' in the 'Control Data' tab of GL account maintenance transaction FS00. Please read the help on that checkbox. If you check that checkbox, then you can post open items to that account in a specific ledger group and then also clear that item specific to that ledger group.

The cursor has changed to a dot with a circle around it; how can I get my normal cursor back?

The cursor in the main part of Firefox has changed to a dot with a circle around it. This only occurs in Firefox and only in the page display area. I still have the arrow in the tool bar and tabs area. When moving the cursor around in the display area the dot/circle is accompanied by a blinking arrow.

It's the quicktime plug-in causing the problem. If you disable it, your cursor will return to normal. Happened to me, and fixed it by doing that.

Link in Webhelp to open sub-TOC tree of a 'Book with Link'

RH8 HTML
Hi all, hoping I can find a solution for this.
Currently, and as it should, I link to a page in my webhelp, from within my webhelp. i.e front page has a link that refers to another section in the webhelp. The links work fine, these links however are going to the 'book' (I created the TOC books to be books with links) and within these books are other topics.#
Is there a way to make it so that when the user clicks a link that goes to one of these 'books' in the TOC, that the toc tree also drops down.
example (hard to explain)
TOC
Home (contains link that user clicks which goes to Page 1)
Page 1 (book with link)
sub-page1 (remains closed until user opens it by clicking 'Page 1' book)
subpage 2 (remains closed until user opens it by clicking 'Page 1' book)
I would like those sub-pages to be opened when the link is clicked. Can it be done?
Thanks, hope its clear....

Hi all
For what it's worth, Leon's suggestion is what I too would recommend. When I facilitate a RoboHelp class and am discussing the "Book with link" feature, I typically will suggest that this approach is used.
@Leon - I think this changed with a recent forum upgrade. Annoying, isn't it?
Standard definiton of any upgrade: Uninstall old bugs. Install new ones.
Cheers... Rick

The little red dot with a bar on the weekly calender

Stupid question...In iCAl I have a little red dot with a bar attached to is that goes across the entire week. It is next to the timeline at about 2:00. It only shows up on the week calender. What is this bar? What does it do? Can one make it go away? It's killing me. I can't find a setting for it, an explanation, a right click...nothing. It's just buggin' me. Anyone???

NCesau,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The red dot with the bar is supposed to represent the current "Time of Day." It will/should be displayed in the Day, and Week views. It appears as if your TOD is stagnant, i.e. not working, if is stationary at the 2:00 time, and only visible in the Day view.
There is no user preference to change the normal behavior.
Since your iCal appears not to be working as advertised, you may be able to regain normal function by refreshing the iCal plist file. You will find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, drag the .plist file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.
