TOC for footnotes?

Hi,
I want to have a TOC for my footnotes at the end of my thesis. Is that possible?
Thank's for your help.
Markus

Hey Markus-
Gary here again. Here in California, the university I attend requires us to use a book called Form and Style as a guide to formatting a thesis. (It is written by a woman, I don't have her name with me)
In Form and Style, photos and graphs are considered figures and are listed after the TOC, on a sheet called Table of Figures. Tables, if used need to be on a separate sheet. I only used photos and graphs. I did it manually. Under each graph or photo in the document list it's name, and the source.
Ex. Fig. 1 Evidence of Soil Erosion in Costa Rica
Photo: G. Cooke, August 2004
Then just list the exact info. on your List of Figures with the page number following, similar to a TOC. Of course if you decide to insert a new figure, you will have to renumber the figures following it and update your Table of Figures.
I hope that helps, I hope that is what you were asking.
Did you use a Template? I used the one called Term Paper under Education. I was reasonably happy with it, but I'm not sure if I would use it again. Some "normal formatting" was difficult at times, and I find myself fighting with the pre-set format.
Good Luck,
Gary

  • TOC for multilingual documents

    Hi,
    I have a book made of documents in different languages. I would like to have a separate TOC for each of them.
    Since there is no way to tell the TOC feature to only include paragraphs from selected documents, how would you do to accomplish this task?
    Generating full TOCs and then deleting the unnecessary language would not work, since InDesign would calculate the exceeding pages, and add them to the TOC.
    Paolo

    I would be interested to know the kind of disaster you are foreseeing. I have not yet faced anything so serious to be considered a disaster in twenty years of this job, but I would like to consider any improvement to my workflow, as well as any trouble I'm not yet aware of.
    Ah, I was predicting the disaster of you trying to include your files in a Book file and accidentally synchronizing a bunch of different styles with identical names, or something along those lines. It wasn't exactly clear from your initial posts that you were familiar with this kind of work (most who pose here are not familiar translation work), but of course your most recent post clears that up competely.  Of course, we have some terminological differences - for instance, I'd consider books, pamphlets, posters, graphic novels, and anything else that could be in an .indd a "document" so even if your .indd is eventually going to have a front and back cover, spine, frontmatter, the works, it's still a "document" to me. I do see that you said "book" in your initial post but I never saw "indb" or "book file" or anything of the sort. Apologies if I've induced any confusion by assuming that our Venn diagrams of books and documents mapped onto one another. I'll make sure to use correct terminology when discussing book files to avoid further confusion.
    To elaborate on this point: the files I send the translators can contain paragraph styles named Body, Heading, Numbered 1. If the translator prefer to change the name of the styles to something like Body_DE, Heading_DE, Numbered 1_DE, he can do it. However, this can be an annoyance when a general reformatting is due and you are in a hurry.
    That could be an annoyance, or perhaps a major delay - which is why I always instruct my translators to make new styles only when necessary, to alert me when it is necessary, and to completely apply all the styles I made when their transations are complete. Many CAT tools these days have adopted the SDLX-style "format painting" interface, which makes preservation of styles basically perfect. (Those who don't have such an interface often use tools like Oxygen for editing XML, or in some cases still use ye olde TagEditor from Trados.)  When a translator cannot or will not respect the styles I've set up, I simply inform my project managers, and then those translators are no longer involved in projects which are to be delivered in InDesign with well-styled text. You may not have that freedom to tell your PMs "Any translator that fails to respect styles in this project fails the test and cannot be used in InDesign translation projects of more than n words," but if you do it might reduce your headache & overhead when plotting workflows for multilingual books with multiple TOCs.
    For example, If I want to change the font size in Body, I must do it both in Body and Body_DE. No general synching would be possible.
    When I get to set the styles up myself, I always used Based On - no general synch, no, but specific synch. Alternately, I have a Body_Parent style, which is used nowhere in any text, but Body_EN and Body_DE and Body_VI and et cetera are all based on the Body_Parent style. So, instead of using the Book panel to synchronize all styles across all docs, I can just have a few template documents and use the flyout to Load Paragraph Styles from another document, and then just load in a new Body_Parent style.
    Also, I never used the possibility of including an InDesign document into another one. Can you suggest any example of how this could be used? I would think that using book files would be the right idea to manage different languages, and I suspect that nesting .indd files would add a level of complexity.
    Hm, good point. My projects are likely to use lots of cross-references, so I tend to shy away from Book files (the performance hit on my aging hardware when updating hundreds of references across twenty-odd chapters is significant). But yes, if you are willing to synch your styles all at once, then a Book file would probably be a better way to manage styles. However, since you asked for an example... One multilingual handbook I'm working on right now is about 300 pages long, and it's all one long story. Each translation is 10-15 pages long, broken out into three "chapters," each of which is a separate INDD file. However, these files don't have the chapter headers... and the chapters are placed as inline images. So, the logical order of stuff in the story is:
    EnglishChapter1Title (live text)
    EnglishChapter1Content [placed INDD}
    EnglishChapter2Title (live text)
    EnglishChapter2Content [placed INDD}
    EnglishChapter3Title (live text)
    EnglishChapter3Content [placed INDD}
    SpanishChapter1Title (live text)
    SpanishChapter1Content [placed INDD}
    SpanishChapter2Title (live text)
    SpanishChapter2Content [placed INDD}
    SpanishChapter3Title (live text)
    SpanishChapter3Content [placed INDD}
    VietnameseChapter1Title (live text)
    ... and so on. So the placed INDDs have no page numbers, the page numbers are handled in the "container" file. This is useful because the content doesn't change much - the big change from year to year is the list of included languages. So, it's really easy to delete all of the Spanish stuff & regenerate the TOC, and it's really easy to assign the Swahili. Likewise, it's really easy to job out the Arabic to a third party - because 95% of the work they're doing is in completely separate INDDs.
    But, to return to your original question - I may be mistaken, but when I tested it over here in CS4, if I made an in-language TOC in one of my files, then it only picked up the "Header" style in the document I was working on, it did not pick up identically-named headers in other languages in the book. I tried it a few different ways, with each document in the Book file started renumbering at page 1, with each document continuing numbering from previous chapters, et cetera.  So I must really not understand your original question:
    I have a book made of documents in different languages. I would like to have a separate TOC for each of them.
    Since there is no way to tell the TOC feature to only include paragraphs from selected documents, how would you do to accomplish this task?
    Each language is in a separate document, a separate INDD, and the INDDs are included within an INDB, right? The way to generate TOCs per language is to open up one file at a time and Update TOC. When I test it, Document 3 (VI) only picks up headers from Document 3 for its TOC. The only issue would be if you needed each TOC to start at Page 1, and the way to get that would be to use Section & Numbering Options to restart each chapter at 1.

  • Best approach to creating a TOC for product catalog using data merge

    What is the best approach for creating a TOC for a product catalog (over 1,000 items) using Data Merge?
    The TOC would contain the product Categories. 
    So for example, Category A items could go from pages 1 - 3, and Category B items would start at pg 4, but if new items were added to Category A, then Category B may start from pg 6. 
    From the Data Source, there are 5 Data Fields I've chosen to be displayed.  If this were a regular digital print document, I could use the Paragraph Style method for creating a TOC, but if I make any one of the Data Fields a certain Paragraph Style and use that for the TOC, it'll populate the TOC with that Data Field for all the items. 
    Any suggestions?

    TOC is not interactive in the ID file, though it can be in a PDF that you export (there's a checkbox to create PDF bookmarks). You might want to think about using Cross-references (rather than hyperlinks, I think) to build the TOC. You have to do it manually, but once done it should maintain itself, whereas a TOC is built automatically, but must be regenerated after you edit the doc.
    One caveat witih TOCs created from cross-references: Although changing the text of an x-ref source paragraph (for example from "Patatas and tamatas" to "Tomatoes and Potatoes,"and/or when the source paragraph flows to the next or previous page) update automatically or when invoking "Update cross-references," MOVING a cross-reference source paragraph to a location before or after another source paragraph, does not change their sequence in the pseudo-TOC. You'll need to manually move the reference in the pseudo-TOC to the correct position in the sequence of cross-refs. So, put the task of checking the order of x-refs in the pseudo-TOC on your before hand-off check list.

  • Mini-TOC for multiple chapters

    I am writing a course book, in which I added Learning Goals in each chapter. I would like to automatically summarize these learning goals in the preface, as an extra TOC (or Index?).
    As far as I know a mini-TOC is only able to generate content out of the chapter (file) it is placed in.
    Is there a way for me to generate this list of goals, apart from manually add each goal as an cross reference?
    Thanks!

    Perhaps...
    Generate a stand-alone TOC for each chapter.
    Have the chapter import that as a Text Inset.
    It won't be automatically updated, of course, but when you re-gen and Update References it will be kept up to date without needing to re-import.

  • Numbering and TOC for pics and tables

    Is there a way to connect a title to a table, image or graph that contain an automatic numbering system allowing me to build a TOC for each of the objects referred and also keeping me from doing the numbering manually? I am writing an academic work and that would be really helpful.
    Thanks
    Diego

    The easiest way:
    1) Define in RTF template new field (before numbers output) with following code:
    <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'RN', 0)?>This is defining of variable with 'RN' name and zero deafult value.
    2) Include in each loop field with:
    <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'RN', xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'RN')+1)?><?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'RN')?>where fisrt part is inremental updating of variable RN and second part - printing current value of RN variable.

    Not sure how to explain this, but i will do my best. I didnt like the TOC/Aggregator for CP 5. Thinking maybe to use Spry data using the Detail Region sample. I thought it would be simple to just combine the Detail Region code with the publsihed .swf and .htm code. But not sure what im doing wrong or if this is even possible to do. I was experimenting just using the exact same code and xml for Detail Region sample and modifying it a bit. See below...

  • One TOC for Multiple Documents

    Working on a book project where each chapter must be its own document (due to multiple large graphics). Is it possible for the Table of Contents (TOC) can contain info from multiple documents, or will I have to create the TOC manually when I'm done with the book?
    Thanks!

    You will have to create the TOC manually when you're done with the book.
    You could however, as a work around, amalgamate the book without the graphics (but leaving the frames to hold their place), generate the TOC and then add that to your collection of chapters.

  • Multiple TOCs for One Project

    Is it possible to split the topics in one help project into
    two toc (hhc) files? I have a master project that merges about 53
    chm files. Some of the slave projects are rather large and over the
    years have had several types of information added to them. The
    information in the projects are related to each other, but they
    need to be organized separately in the master TOC. Splitting the
    projects themselves is not a good solution. I would like to have
    multiple hhc files for the projects so that the topics can easily
    be inserted in their logical place in the master TOC.

    Hi,
    I am TW working jointly with another TW on a huge multifirm
    project for a same client. He is well versed in RH, while I am a

    parts of what will be merged into a single huge context sensitive
    .chm file. Having experimented a bit with possibilities such as the
    ones you are exploring, I thought we could use it for our project.
    But the other TW felt we would have problems down the road.
    Just to confirm what John says. But then, I also am not
    adding anything positive by way of solution. Hope somebody else
    reacts to these two successive negative answers, and comes up with
    help for you.

  • Is Framemaker a better option than InDesign for footnote-intensive reports?

    We currently used InDesign to layout our reports and briefings, and are exploring it's XML capabilities with a view to output in multiple formats: high-res PDFs, web pages within our CMS, and e-Pubs. We are unable to tag our hyperlinked footnotes for XML output in InDesign, and wondered if Framemaker would be a better tool. Our layouts are in colour, in a 2-column format, contain charts and tables and occasional exhibits, and we adhere to a strict template with both paragraph and character styles.
    Any direction or insights would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Andrea

    Andrea,
    Your sample does not look like being »foot-intensive«, I only find two footnotes. And those will not be a problem for FrameMaker.
    For 2-column text layout FrameMaker (as InDesign) gives you the option to create one text frame set to have two columns, or create two connected text frames, each of them one column. To keep the footnote in the original column, you would use the latter method. More information can be found in the online help:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WS6C3D24E6-2965-48bb-B6CF-50D1439AEB01.html
    Regarding other elements of the sample pages I don’t see any stumbling blocks. Just be aware that the general approach to layout, and especially when using XML-structured documents, is completely different from InDesign. With InDesign you just move all the frames wherever and whenever you want. With FrameMaker you plan ahead, create master pages and paragraph styles and then follow this original design. Creating layout changes »on the fly« is just not the way you work in FrameMaker. But this limitation is the reason for a higher layout consistency.

  • Status not appearing in TOC for slides in folder

    Hi
    i have a sequence of slides. in my TOC i put some in a folder so they appear in one category say section 01
    now when i run my exe and open toc status check sign is only available for slides out of the folder. the slides in section 01 has no check mark in fron of them even when these slides are already visited.

    I'm not 100% sure about how the TOC status works, but I think that in order for it to mark a slide with a checkmark you either need an interaction on the slide (somewhere you click) or need to watch the slide to the end (e.g. without anything stopping it from going to the next page).
    To disable the status in the TOC you open up the TOC settings and remove the tick in the "Show flag" box. Then your TOC will not have the green checkmarks anymore.

  • How to make tiny numbers for footnotes in pages?

    I cant figure out how to make the number small in pages on my Ipad 2. The app is up to date and aswell is the software, iOS 5.1 but I can't figure out how to make the number tiny and move up to the left hand corn of the letter. Example, the number should like like the '2' in h2o but I don't know how, please help.

    Hi vnessar
    When you place the insertion point where you want your footnote referenced (tap, hold, release) and select Insert  > Footnote, it automatically places the superscript number for your footnote there and takes you to the bottom of the page in a Footnote field with the reference number already filled in.
    If you add another, (tap, hold, release - which brings up the "Select | Select All | Paste | Insert" menu) it will become Footnote 2 and so on.
    See Insert footnotes or endnotes
    In step 2. Tap >, tap Insert, and then tap Footnote.  The triangle is the "more button". Just ignore that and tap Insert and Footnote.
    Does that work for you?

  • Pages ePub export - Can I use TOC for page breaks?

    I want to export a Pages file to ePub. Things work *almost* perfectly, except the page breaks disappear.
    I've read a few other threads, such as this one, that say that Pages uses the *first* style from the TOC to make page breaks. That doesn't work great for me, since I have multiple styles in my TOC that should all be page breaks.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3722549?start=0&tstart=0
    Is there any way to force pages to use multiple styles from the TOC as page breaks, or will I have to enter them manually? Thanks.
    **Edit:** I noticed that the chapters are actually occurring correctly. So I guess what I want is to force the epub to start each chapter on a new page. Is that possible?

    Fair enough.
    I used the word "chapter" because that's what the epub document calls them, but section is a better word. Some headings look like this
    Test 29
    Section I - Logical Reasoning
    Test 30
    Section II - Reading Comprehsion
    Passage I - Wine
    Test 32
    Section I - Reading Comprehension
    Passage I - Wine
    Sometimes the Test # should appear in the TOC ( if it's the first section from that test) and other times it shouldn't. As things stand, I had to remove the Test # from the headings where the Test # doesn't appear in the TOC. Because a new section starts from the line styled to appear in the TOC, I was getting:
    "Test 30
    <section/chapter break>
    Section II - Reading Comprehension"

  • TOC for hierarchical book using child book TOCs?

    (My first hiearchical book in FM11. Win7x64.)
    I've created a book of two child books.
    Each child book has:
    A generated TOC as its first file. Its first paragraph in the primary flow has the paratag dtc-ChapTitle.
    Content as its second file, with tags such as h1-Head1, h2-Head2, and other paratags.
    (Side note: that child book design implements the idea of a chapter TOC without using a text inset. That's how this adventure started.)
    dtc-ChapTitle appears only in the (generated) TOCs of the child books (1's above), not in the content files (2's above).
    The parent book has two child books and a generated TOC. The generated TOC of the parent book is to include dtc-ChapTitle, h1-Head1, and other paratags.
    The parent TOC does generate with h1-Head1, and other paratags, but not dtc-ChapTitle.
    Maybe I don't know how to think about hierarchical books and am clinging to flat-book thinking.
    Am I being gently nudged toward using the <$chaptertitlename> variable somehow?  Section "cover pages" ?  But how do I make a "chapter TOC" the first file in the child book -- or otherwise make the chapter TOC appear before the chapter that it describes?
    Best regards,

    Latest news:
    I switched from using a child book to using the Folder feature.
    As the "template" file for the folder, I re-used the chapter TOC file that was part of the old child book.
    So the book looks like this:
    FrontCover
    ParentBookTOC
    FolderChapterFile
    ParentBookIX
    Results are:
    ParentBookTOC now contains the chapter name that was missing from the book-of-books design attempt higher on this thread. The name is flowing in from Folder. Good.
    In Folder, <$chaptertitlename> correctly produces the text that I typed in in the folder's Container Properties > Title. Good.
    Folder is, in fact, the chapterTOC file from the previous architecture. So when I open ChapterFile and generate a separate TOC file, it appears as content of Folder. Good.
    The chapter running header variable in ChapterFile produces a blank result. Not good.
    When I attempt to use <$chaptertitlename> in the running header variable in ChapterFile, it produces the file name, even after I regen the book. Not good.
    Adobe's blog entry leaves a logical gap in its coverage. The important sentence is: " For all other documents which are neither Folder template file nor part of the FM book, variable will reflect the filename of the file in which it is used." (emphasis added)
    The file in this case is not a Folder template and is part of the book. In this case, the variable is producing the name of the file, not the Title from the Folder's Container Properties, even after I regen the book.
    Again, I don't have a book-of-books now. I have a single book with a Folder.
    So how do I type the chapter name in one place, say as the Folder name, and have that available in ChapterFile?
