TOC Styles problem

Could someone please help me out with this small but really irritating problem?
When making the table of contents it looks like this
1:title
A:subtitle
B:...
2:...
C...
I would like to start in the second paragraph wit a subtitle A not C
It sometimes helps when using tab in front of the subtitle or choosing manually in the inspector to start at....
But the toc remains the same... abcd through all subparagraphs...
Hope this is somewhat clear
Could anyone help me out please?
Thx!

Did you really read carefully the pointed technote ?
It clearly explain that for customized formats like the requested one, you must export to rtf then edit the exported TOC by hand.
Then, at last, replace in the Pages document, the automated TOC by the edited rtf one.

  • TOC freakiness: Loading TOC style from other document reset my par styles [CS4]

    I loaded a TOC style into my layout (from a template doc), only to find that all my text formatting had reverted to that used in said other doc.
    This even affected styles not used in the TOC, such as body text.
    It appears that instead of just loading the TOC style, it is loading (and replacing) paragraph styles as well.
    Anyone else have this problem? Looks to me like a bug.

    Aaron,
    You probably already checked on this but, if some or all of your styles are Based On the paragraph style known as Basic Paragraph, then you could have this unfortunately fatal accident?

  • CS5.5 ePUB: TOC Marker problems

    Hi all
    Got a problem with some ePUBs I'm exporting out of CS5.5 (7.5.3). I use the TOC Style feature to generate the navigational menu, which it does, but I had some issues with jumping straight to articles in iBooks. Also I was getting some validation errors that caused me to look at the toc.ncx file - eg, "'toc_marker-4': fragment identifier is not defined in 'OEBPS/blahblah_epub.html'"
    Turns out that although ID puts all the correct "toc_marker" code into the toc.ncx file it doesn't always put the corresponding code into the actual html files themselves. For example, in the toc.ncx file the code relating to my second file is;
    <content src="02_Editorial_epub.html#toc_marker-1"/>
    but in the "02_Editorial_epub.html" file there's no "toc_marker-1" defined anywhere. If I add it in next to the para style that is used for the TOC (and do the same for all the other articles - only 2 out of 18 files were output correctly) then it works fine in iBooks and the validation errors disappear. Example of my fixed code;
    <p id="toc_marker-1" class="A-head-article-title">Editorial</p>
    In case it is relevant, my job is made out of a collection of separate chapters in an ID book - I'm not getting ID to split them up. Also, my first document is just an image of the cover of this title so does not contain the paragraph style I ask ID to include on the TOC, so it does not appear in the TOC (which I'm happy about).
    Does anyone know of any workarounds or is this just another thing we need to fix manually once the ePUB is output? Haven't tested this in the CS6 demo yet but we won't be getting CS6 in the near future so that would not be a great help.
    thanks,
    Iain

    Thanks amygfx. Seems like a logical idea. I tried adding in a TOC, even left it in when I made the ePUB, but it didn't make any difference I'm afraid.
    Any other ideas?
    Just to check I'm doing it right, here's my TOC style;
    It's in teh first document in teh book (which is selected as the source) and here's the options I choose when exporting the ePUB;
    Using these settings makes a navigation menu okay but just not correctly!

  • Table of Contents Issue - TOC Styles Set Correctly, but TOC Shows Two Fonts on One TOC Line

    I created a template and set up all of the styles correctly, as with every other template I've ever made.  However, I have never run into this problem before.
    I created the template to match a client's style/look.  They use a font called "Gill Sans MT."  My Normal style is set to this, and my TOC styles (TOC 1, TOC 2, TOC 3, etc.) are based off of the Normal style.  My Heading styles are
    also based off the Normal style and use the same font.
    For some reason, the TOC in the document is populating with two different styles.  The actual Heading text is showing up as Arial font, but the tab leader and the page number are showing up in the Gill Sans MT font (see below).
    Any idea what's going on here?  I have tried modifying the TOC styles, inserting a new TOC, basing the TOC styles off of "(no style)," changing the Heading styles, clearing the formatting on the Heading styles, etc.  I can't get anything
    to work.

    All I can suggest is to try your steps again. You mention everything that I would try.
    I assume that the template is a .dotx or .dotm file, and so, does not have an "attached template."
    When you tried basing your TOC styles off "no style" I assume you set the font to Gill Sans MT. I would definitely have the heading and TOC styles set to cascade.

  • New character style not showing up in TOC style

    I created a new character style called Subchapter....
    Then I went to layout>toc styles.. and hit [new]. Under "Style" my new character style "Subchapter" is not there. Also, under the "Styles in Table of Contents....include paragraph styles.." my new character style "Subchapter" is not in the other styles list.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks.
    Also, forgot to mention, I am in book mode at this point. Maybe I need to add that new character style to each .IDD chapter of the book?

    NEvermind, it was because I was making a character style, not a paragraph style. Now it shows up.
    Thanks anyways.

  • TOC style template for epubs - where is it stored?

    Hello,
    some years ago I saved 3 different toc styles for my epubs. Now I added some more (for 2 levels etc.). This new ones also I saved.
    But when I start to build the epub in the first option windows at the point TOC style navigation there are still the old three templates to select. I'm not able to choose the new ones.
    Now I deleted in every dokument file the three old TOC styles by using the usual TOC tool. But in the epub-generator these templates are still there. With the result: the epub toc wich will be generated is wrong.
    Where are these templates stored?
    I use ID CC 2014.
    Thanks

    Hi Anshul,
    Thanks for your help. I export to epub 2.01 reflowable.
    For dokuments that might be so. But I do it with books and I deleted the TOC styles in ALL documents but it was still there in the list. Also I created a new book with all new dokuments, generates on TOC style in the first document and in the export option list there were the Default style only. It is not to figure out, where ID ist looking for that?
    Cheers

  • TOC style issue

    I'm working toward converting my book to an ePub.
    So, I created a new TOC style to pick up both the chapter number and chapter title on level 1.
    But the new TOC style only appears as an option with my TOC doc open. The new style doesn't appear as an option in my book chapter files.
    Is there a way to make the new TOC style available when opening another doc in my book?

    I would appreciate some clarification.
    I've attached a few screenshots.
    My style source is 03_chapter. So, do you mean to simply select the TOC doc as shown below, and then synchronize? Also, how would I know if the other styles in the TOC file are defined correctly?
    Thanks.
    All except Master Pages are checked.

  • TOC Style

    Though the TOC Style "Always Show Selection" has been checked but still in the generated chm file using RoboHelp 10 does not close the book.  When a user navigates from one link to another from topics, the related topic is not displayed.  The other books remain open, the related book from where the html file gets displayed is not displayed.  Can anyone help me with this.

    Rick will still be in bed right now.
    What you are showing is a webhelp window. In theSSL pod, set Microsoft HTML help to be the default, unless you are using Rh10. Then go the Project Set Up pod and create a new window, in Rh 10 you will get an option for the window type.
    In the new window you will see the required option.
    Make sure you select that window when generating the help.

  • Two different TOC styles in one Pages document?

    I'm a new Pages 2.0.2 user with a large document with two different tables of contents 20 pages apart. I'm trying to format them differently using different TOC styles but when I change one's style the other one changes as well. Anything I do format-wise to one goes over to the other as well. I'm hoping this is just something I have yet to learn about the product. Any thoughts?

    Hi
    Someone else might know but this doesn't look good, taken from Pages Help:
    "Changing the appearance of text in a table of contents
    You can change the appearance of text in a table of contents and also add a leader line between a TOC heading and its associated page number.
    To change the appearance of text in a table of contents:
    Select the TOC heading you want to change. When you select a TOC heading, all the entries of the same heading type are automatically selected; headings cannot be individually selected.
    Click View in the toolbar, and then choose Show Styles Drawer.
    The Styles drawer displays a list of table of contents (TOC) styles. The TOC style that corresponds to the selected entry type is also selected.
    Do one or more of the following:
    To change the appearance of text, change it as you would format any paragraph text. For example, choose Format > Font or use the Text Inspector to make edits.
    To create leader lines from a TOC heading to its associated page number, click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Text Inspector button, and then click Tabs. Click the value for the TOC in the Tab Stops list, and then choose a line style from the Leader pop-up menu."

  • TOC numbering problems

    Hi,
    In my TOC, level 1 and 2 appear just fine because they are based on my level 1 and level 2 heading styles which are numbered. But my level 3 heading style is not numbered, so it also appears numberless in the TOC. I tried adding numbering to my level 3 TOC style, but then the numbers won't follow the natural sequence.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    Thanks!

    reddvinylene wrote:
    I fixed it! I just enabled numbering for my level 3 headings, but left the "Number" input field empty.
    Correction, I:
    Enabled numbering for my level 3 headings
    Wrote ^1.^2.^3^t into the Number input field in Bullets and Numbering in the Paragraph Style Options
    Updated my TOC
    Removed ^1.^2.^3^t from the Number input field
    I just hope I'll remember this till next time.

  • Setting up a TOC Style

    It is possible to set up a style such that the last line of a paragraph has a wide right margin that the read of the paragraph?
    I would like to have a TOC style that has
    FIRST LINE                                          Justified Right Margin
           INDENTED SECOND LINE             Justified Right Margin
           INDENTED THIRD LINE                                                             RIGHT JUSTIFIED PAGE MARGIN
    Such that the page numbers are away from the TOC text.

    Set the paragraph style with a right indent, and a negative last line indent ( this is kind of the opposite of a first line hanging indent). It won't be obvious with ragged right text, and may not show at all unless the last line is actually the correct length to fill the column width.
    In your example it looks as if you intend to justify, which will help, and you can use either a flush space or a right-indent tab to move the end of the last line to the margin.

  • About TOC style add

    Hello,
    We want to add TocStyleEntry to our TocStyle using javascript.
    However tocStyleEntries.add accept string not paragraphystyle and we're tried with paragraphystyle name too.
    We have tried these codes, none of them are working in our case. (exception thrown like this paragraphystyle name is wrong)
    tocStyleEntries.add(variableOfParagraphyStyle);
    tocStyleEntries.add(variableOfParagraphyStyle.name);
    tocStyleEntries.add("Name of the Paragrapy STYLE");
    tocStyleEntries.add("Name of the Paragrapy STYLE (It's folder)");
    How we can obtain (or format) the string that tocStyleEntries.add function accept?

    @handifem – you have to use a string.
    So, options b or c could be right.
    Is the paragraph style nested in a paragraph style group?
    Then none of the proposed options will work.
    The syntax for nested paragraph styles would be:
    "NameOfGroup:NameOfDeeperNestedGroup:NameOfParagraphStyle"
    Build a TOC Style without scripting InDesign and ask for the names of all entries of all toc styles of the document:
    alert(app.documents[0].tocStyles.everyItem().tocStyleEntries.everyItem().name;);

  • Selected TOC style Name

    From:
    myStory.storyType
    you can determine that a story is a TOC, but how do you get from there to the TOC Style that was used to create said TOC?
    This was the question that was bugging me back in CS3 days and I see no improvement in the CC object model. Stories don't have an associatedTOCStyle property. But maybe you can get at this by lateral thinking. If a story was created as a TOC then it has certain paragraph styles in it. If the TOC Styles are designed to have unique paragraph styles that identify the TOC Style, then you're home and dry. For example, you could have a ParagraphStyleGroup for each TOC Style and the name of that group could be the same as the name of the corresponding TOC Style.
    Of course, this assumes you have control over the template for the project so that this relationship can be relied on. But given that, you can start with a text selection. Check the applied paragraph style, look at the name of its parent and bingo: there's the name of the TOC Style.
    I'm not sure if this helps in your situation.

  • Synchronizing TOC Style issue[CS4][js]

    Dear All,
    When i synchronizing TOC style in group of documents thru
    myBook.synchronizeTableOfContentStyle  = true;
    myBook.synchronize();
    it will synchronize perfectly to all documents if TOC style exists in first document in that batch, if its not (in any other document) it will not synchronize the style.
    Help me to synchronize TOC style that will exists in any one of the document in existing batch (documents).
    Thanks & regards,
    San

    synchronize: Synchronizes the entire book to the style source document.
    The default style source document for a new book is the first one added, but you can change it to any other with
    myBook.styleSourceDocument = myBook.bookContents[...]
    or
    myBook.styleSourceDocument = ..a reference to a document..
    This does mean, however, you have to know in advance which of your documents contains the TOC style you want to copy to all others.

  • InDesign style problems on TOC

    I'm having problems with my paragraph styles.  I'm working on a large document with imported text.  About half way through, all of a sudden I couldn't get my styles to work correctly.  For example, I'd select body copy and instead it would format as a header.  I checked the styles and they were correct.  I read in a thread to try using alt+shift when selecting the style and that worked.  But now I'm trying to generate the TOC and I'm having the same problem.  Nothing works.  Plus the styling it is applying is inconsistent even with the same style selected.

    I think that you should try to post some screenshots; what you're describing makes no sense. If all TOC entries
    1) are marked with the same para style;
    2) have no character styles applied; and,
    3) have no overrides
    then they should look identical to one another.
    So, if you post a screenshot of your TOC with the Paragraph Style palette visible, and you can verify that your Character Styles palette is completely empty, then we might be able to diagnose your problem.
    The techniques I use to make sure that my styles have no overrides:
    a) I have "Clear Overrides" mapped to control-shift-numlock enter. So, I can select text and whack that key combo, and know that it is free of para style overrides.
    b) Then I can put my insertion point at the beginning of the first text box, and use control-shift-downarrow to select whole paragraphs at a time. When I do so, I can watch the para styles palette to see if the "+" appears indicating that I still have an override in that paragraph.
    c) I use styles in my TOC that have names that are similar to to the actual subheaders in the body text. So, "Semibold Subhead" gets added to the TOC, and is styled with "Semibold Subhead TOC" like so:
