TOC woes

Greetings,
Background:
Structured FM 7.2 book. First chapter of book is title and front page matter and in it there's a placeholder for importing the TOC.
The book was delivered to me with a TOC file preceding the first chapter above, and the instructions were to delete it from the book after generating the TOC and importing it as a text reference into the TOC placeholder.(Windows XP)
Issue:
The TOC regenerates, but the formatting is lost; when manually importing the formatting from a correctly formatted TOC from another book in the series, it isn't applied. Trying after the import of all formats and reference pages, to reapply the TOC master page doesn't work either.
Any and all advice will be appreciated!
Thanking all in advance,
Donna

Michael and Van, thanks for addressing this question.
Van, I'm part-time at this client so it took a few days to check out and apply what you suggested.
Obtained the initial TOC before it got mucked up and followed your instructions, and it worked. [Realized by your instructions that there is no way to reapply the previous formatting otherwise.]
What I found especially helpful is the information you shared about the TWO updates, printing only selected files, and locating the TOC file at the end.
Many thanks for taking the time to write the detailed and very, very helpful (and prompt) answer!
Best wishes, much obliged, Donna

TOC Page-size woes...

Using InDesign's (CS4) TOC generator, it generates the TOC with the proper page numbers for the book's sections, but the page size seems to be wrong. I'm using 1/2 letter size for the page, but the TOC generated appears to have been formatted for a full letter page... it looks like this...
if the pipe symbols below represent the page boundaries, the dots preceding the page numbers "wrap" to the next line... I know that it's formatting the page for a full letter size, because when I print it out, everything is alligned perfectly on a sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" paper:
| Chapter 1....................................|
|.................... 25 |
| Chapter 2....................................|
|.................... 76 |
Anyone out there have any idea why it's doing this ?... I created the TOC document page with a size of 1/2-letter, but the TOC generator doesn't seem to be recognizing this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
regards,
Terry

THANK-YOU, Gabriel!... that worked!

It appears that you need to adjust the tab settings in the paragraph style that is being applied to the TOC entries. Make sure that only one Right-justified tab is set at the end of the text frame. If a tab extends beyond the edge of the text frame, the text will be forced to "wrap" to a new line. Sometimes it helps to clear all the tabs and then start over if multiple and unneeded tabs have been set.

Using a custom menu button on the slide to open and close TOC in Captivate 7

HI
I have a custom menu button. When the user clicks I want to show TOC, ( I see there is a state to show TOC) but when the user clicks the same menu button again on that slide how can I hide the TOC. ie toggle between hide and show.
thanks

Possible to Have ToC Default to Show Only Top Level (collapse sublevels)?

Howdy!
I'll bet I'm not the only one wishing for this. Let's say you're using Captivate 4's Table of Contents feature with a longish movie of Cp slides, which is chunked into bite-size sections content-wise. In the ToC, though, you can't mimic that same organization scheme; at least, the learner would first need to collapse all the ToC folders you've created so they see only the top-level listing.
This can be a critical issue: keeping the at-first-glance list in the ToC brief enough to be inviting to learners, yet allowing learners to drive which details are currently visible.
A movie's topical hierarchy could be along these lines, for example ...
Section 1 - National Brands
What are National Brands?
Why Are They Important to Our Business?
Working with Nat. Brands
Practice Your Knowledge
Section 2 - International Brands
What are International Brands?
Why Are They Important to Our Business?
Working with Intl. Brands
Practice Your Knowledge
You'd like to organize the ToC to show only the section titles (1st level) and to suppress the 2nd-level detail (slide titles) until the learner chooses to expand the folder to see those details.
I've tried things like grouping the slides into sections in the Storyboard view and organizing the slides into sections strictly within the ToC -- both to no avail.
Has anyone solved for this need yet?
I'm all ears, and you'd be doing learners of the world a huge favor.
Thanks!

Hi, Jim.
Thanks for being 'on the case' and looking into this so quickly. Your
findings are encouraging, although my user base is generally working with
IE 6 and FP8 or 9.
Since the only thing I may influence is getting IT to help push out FP10,
I'm hoping it's more of a player- than a browser-version issue.
I'll test things out by Monday and let you know the results. Wish me luck!
Dave

Dave,
I just tested this on my local web server and it worked fine. I created a
blank project with 8 slides. Created my TOC with grouping... 2 slides in
each group. I turned on self paced learning. I tried with and without the
widget and it picked up where I left off in either case. See
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B86WuEq6SVwRNWIwMjhjODctMjE2Yy00MWE2LWI5YzEtMGQxYzNjOWQ0Z mI2&hl=en.
I published using FP10 and IE8 to view. Notice any difference between
your project and this one?
Thanks,

Continual Mac woes (no question, just a rant)

It's Tuesday, and I am having terrible problems with my Mac. But then, why should Tuesday be different from any other day of the week.
Here is a typical day for me. The computer appears to be working OK. I need to watch a DVD for my work. I turn on DVD player, and put one in. The machine can't read the disc. It clicks and whirls, but the icon does not show up on the desktop. Meanwhile, so distressed is the machine that it freaks out. What was up until now was a fluidly operating machine suddenly reverts back to its old ways (i.e., its ways of two days ago). The hold ups and spinning pinwheels begin to eat of hours of my work day. (Remember the old days when computers made life easier?) The machine becomes sticky, gummy. Oh, I can move the curser and it seems to work for a second but then gets stuck in the dock, which explodes in icons and then freezes for five minutes. Yes. Five minutes.
Would love to use Force Quit, but the cursor is spinning, and nothing is responding. Funny about that old Mac. You can't force quit Force Quit. I guess I need to leave it open all the time.
Of course, FQ usually works on Safari. I have never just "quit" Safari. It always requires Force Quit, otherwise I can't turn off my computer. It stalls shut down.
Now I have a DVD trapped in there and can't get it out. [But I just got an answer from another posting.]
In the old macs, there used to be a pin hole you could stick a needle into ... can't find one on my flatpanel iMac.
I bought my Apple flat panel iMac in August of 2002. Yes, I know that that is a long time to have a computer, but I am not rich nor attached to a corporation that can splurge on computers. The first weekend I had the machine, I had three kernal panics.
Among the other problems I have documented are the following: the dock hiding itself unbidden and other features checking and unchecking themselves (Aug 2002); bus errors connected with OS 9 (Sept); some problems that inspired the tech person (Eric)) to talk me through deleting my user i.d., resulting in the loss of two months worth of e-mail (Thursday, 12 September); Preview problems (September); a bizarre box with an unmovable and undeletable red stop sign in it that no tech person or other Mac user I know had ever hear of (Monday 30 September); printing problems; computer won't shut down, numerous disconnection errors, which turned out to be caused by an OS X update (beginning December, 2002, or later); Kernel panics (Feb); computer won't shut down (March); Faxstexx problems, program won't allow me to set it up, finally just deleted the software (April); keys like "V" freeze and repeat endlessly (May 21); DVD Player freezes (May); Safari and Mail begin quitting unexpectedly (May); cursor begins to blink and fade out, plus odd sounds come out of the speakers, a constant error beeping (Sept 9); DVD Player problems (Oct 4).
I called AppleCare while I had it about once a week (the total between August 2002 and the time it ran out was about 155 calls). Naturally, some of these calls are motivated by user error. On the other hand, many of the issues I have called about were unprecedented as far as the Tech person was concerned, such as the blinking mouse, the red stop sign, and the DVD Player woes.
Things improved with Panther, but in Tiger many of the same old issues have returned.
I have been having so many problems with my Mac that I once wrote a letter to the company asking when do I qualify for a new replacement machine. I never received an answer, but I felt better for about a day. Then I turned on my Mac again.

The spinning ball of death as we used to call it is often caused by a lack of RAM, it is hard to be sure as I am not working on your machine, but sometimes things can be improved with additional RAM, it makes it seem like a whole new computer.
A lot of your problems sound like stuff that can be fixed easily enough, and although frustrating things happen here and there with updates. It sounds like you are in fairly good spirits with it all, I would suggest just researching a bit more into maintenance you can do to help maintain the computer and educate yourself a bit more (sounds like you already have learned quite a bit along the way) and you will find a lot of these issues take you a few seconds to rid yourself of. I would start by making sure you are repairing permissions regularly and running the most up to date software. If a lot of problems persist, try creating a second user that is a "test" user to see if the problem is replicated on that user (don't delete your other one, but if you do find the problem not on the other user, you might have a corrupt user, however you don't have to lose all your emails there are plenty of ways to back it up and import it in, or even just bring the entire Mail folder from your library over to the new user). Another thing you can do if you find a lot of system problems is archive and install the OS, it takes a bit of time, but doing it overnight shouldn't be an issue, and you won't lose any of your stuff.

TOC load times

I'm using (Captivate 4) aggregator to create a single swf file containing multiple smaller swf files. I have the preloader setting in each file set as 1% and have each file compressed as much as possible. However the problem I am having is the toc creating in the aggregator is taking over 2 minutes to load. So if a user is already familiar with the first few steps and wants to jump to step #5 in the project they can't do that until the whole project loads. Can anyone give me some advice on how to get the toc to appear at the launch of the project and not load one at a time? Or to get it to load more quickly?

It's actually newer than yours. It is using AMD and not Intel, so I don't have
virtual cores, 4 instead of 8. Yours is actually dual cpu's correct, and is
using Core 2 technology running an MCH. From what you have described, I knew
it would be faster.
There are many factors conspiring to produce the results observed, especially
in the mobo layout. As I noted earlier, I didn't spend a great deal of money
because I did not want to put that large a chunk into the early i7's. (That's
what you get when you work for the elephant in the room!) And I don't have the
fastest AMD system either. I opted out for stability.
But as you can see, newer isn't necessarily better!
I want to be sure I'm clear here. When you open PS after an OS reboot, the
total time to working screen is ~7 sec? Restart after exit of PS is how fast?
Is it possible the video card has anything to do with it?
Lawrence
BTW, OT but it is my thread, I figured out why DXO and Adobe aren't playing
well together, especially the freeze. It is memory. If I allow 5G of memory
for PS, they are ok with each other. Kick it up to 6G or higher and the freeze
occurs. Interestingly, I can get out of it easily by exiting with Photoshop.
Bridge, DXO and even FF won't do anything, and Task Manager comes up Black
Screened. But PS is running,(sort of) probably because it has all the memory!
No events are generated by this freeze, AFAIK.
I'm using the MS AV.

Detail Region as TOC for captivate (.swf) files

Hi All,
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...
Appreciate the Help! Thank you.

Hi,
I think you will need a third party convertor - a quick
google sent me to this one

which is free.

The ToC node is not getting selected although the help result pane displays the correct help page

I have followed steps given below for a merged project system:-
1. I created 3 projects Module_1 and Module_2.
2. Created the CHM output for the above 2 projects.
3. Created a Main project.
4. Merged the above 2 CHM in the project.
5. Created a new window and added Main.hhc in the TOC option under advance properties.
6. Generated html output for entire project Main.chm.
7. Decompile the ‘Main.chm’ and extracted the ToC file ‘Main.hhc’.
8. For each module project, imported ‘Main.hhc’ as a Baggage File, created window definitions same as Main project and with reference to ‘Main.hhc’.
9. Again generated html output for all the modules and copied both the CHM at the same place.
10. Now regardless of my entry point I am able to see entire ToC.
Issue: When I open Module_1.chm, the chm is displayed as follows, but Main book is highlighted instead of module 2 Book. As I have selected both the options, i.e. Auto-synchronize ToC and Always Show Selection option (when generating chm), Module 1 book should get selected.
Is there a way to control the selection in the LHS pane? I am working on a project which has 15 module chms and the chms are integrated with the application. When I press F1 on a module, the default topic is getting displayed and the respective module is not selected in the LHS pane.
Best regards,

Importing/adding html files with bookmarks to project/TOC

Overview:
I've been importing some old html files that have a massive number of bookmarks/anchors in them (few hundred html 'pages' some of them mini help document libraries) in an effort to move the manuals into RH format. Using RH11
Problem:
when I import them all the bookmarks are showing up under each topic page. Second, when I add a folder into the TOC or auto generate a TOC it pulls each bookmark as a page (see screen shot). Any way I can get around this issue? I can manually add (drag/drop) the 'updates' page here into the TOC and it doesn't pull the bookmarks as pages. However i'm interested in knowing if I can simply not import the bookmarks or exclude them from populating as pages in the TOC. This seems to be new to RH11 (i've used RH9 without this issue in the past, on a similar project).
System;
RH11
Office 2013
SharePoint 2010
Thanks

Hi there
Note that when you choose to auto-generate a TOC, you have a choice as to whether to create links to bookmarks. Look at the dialog below:
My guess is that in the older version this option wasn't enabled when you auto created a TOC and you really didn't pay attention to the way it was set in the new version.
Cheers... Rick

Displaying the TOC of a RH6 project in RH8

As a companion question to my other recent post re RH6 to RH8 TOC, specifically:
If I have a RH6 project which I open in RH8, how do I display the TOC of the RH6 project without creating a brand new one so I can view and edit it?

Apologies if I have misunderstood your question but just try double clicking on the TOC file that has been updated from RH6 when you opened the project in RH8. You'll find it in the Project Set-up pod.
Read the RoboColum(n) for mutterings on RoboHelp, Technical Communication Suite and technical communication.

TOC in PDF does not include Link OBJR tags when exported from InDesign

I'm using InDesign CS6 to export a book file to a tagged PDF. When I run the accessibility checker in Acrobat 9, I get errors about items not being contained in the Structure tree. These missing items are links for the TOC and the Index page numbers. When I look at the tags, the Link OBJR tag is missing for these elements. I can't possibly manually add them all in. Other links e.g. cross-references, hyperlinks, automatically include these Link OBJR tags when exported. Why does the TOC and Index not do so?
I've asked this question in the InDesign Forum and no one seems to know. If I don't put these tags in, what does that mean for accessibility of the document?
Thanks for your help

Glad you found something that worked. For the future ... I found that if you create the PDF from BOOK and following these steps you can get the hyperlinks to automatically tag. This will work if you are getting editable hyperlink boxes for the TOC -- I find that it is creating these (although I could swear it didn't earlier). Anyway:
1. Select all chapters in the book and create PDF with hyperlinks and bookmarks. Save as TEST.PDF
2. Open the PDF and in the Pages Panel extract the page or pages containing the the TOC from the PDF. Save this as TOCtest.pdf
3. Delete the Tags from the TOCtest.pdf file -- in the Tags Panel, select the Root tag, right click and select delete
4. Select Add Tags to Document to this same file.
5. Examine the tags to see if all the OBJLINKs are tagged. Repeat steps 3 and 4 again (sometimes it doesn't autotag correctly the first time). You may have to manually correct some of the structure -- headings and/or artifacts on these pages.
6. Save again.
7. Go back to the main document TEST.PDF -- delete the TOC page or pages from that document (assuming you didn't when you extracted.)
8. On the pages panel, Insert from file and choose TOCtest.pdf -- insert before the first page.
9. This will bring in the newly tagged TOC and it's tags HOWEVER the tags will be out of order in the tags panel. They will be at the bottom and you will need to find them and MOVE them where they should be.
Still more effort than you should have to but it worked for me.
Not sure how to record a bug with Adobe, but my testing in CS5 shows that this is NOT a new problem. CS5.5 did the same thing for me.

Acrobat XI PRO: Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically in top, after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file

Hey
I have now tried for hours, but now I give up!
MY WISH -
Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file.
I have already bookmarks, shown on the screen (see screenshot below) but I want those bookmark to be visualised in a separate TOC in the top of the combined files.
This new TOC (which I have inserted) shall be printable and serve as a cover page in a binder.
I have seen other cheap pdf.programs in the market (e.g. PDF Converter Professional 7.3) which are able to make the above things, easy, fast and nice.

Can I edit image size in the TOC?

Is it possible to edit the size of the image placeholder used for the TOC in CP5?
I'd like to use it for a company logo to free up some design space and keep marketing happy, but I can't make it big enough.
Unfortunately I don't have access to Flash so if there is an alternative way that would be great.
Thanks
Sam

Hi,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to edit the size of the image placeholder in TOC in Captivate 5. The image is scaled down to project size and displayed in the TOC.
You could please log a Feature Request for the same under https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=5.
Thanks,
Sushma

Dragging multiple pages from TOC to the topic to create automatic hyperlinks

In my project, I have few topics that contains the hyperlinks of approximately 10 topics. Now, I drag individual page from the TOC to the topic page to create automatic hyperlink. However, I want to select multiple pages in the TOC and drag them at once to create appropriate hyperlinks at once. This will save my time in creating various links.

Hi there
That's not presently possible with RoboHelp. You need to consider asking for it via the Wish Form (linked below)

Pages: page numbers in TOC don't match document

I originally created this document in Word. I then converted it to Pages. I had gotten most of the bugs out, then updated Pages just a week or so ago. When I opened the document in the new version of Pages, the pagination was out of whack. I got the pagination in the body of the text corrected except for one thing. In this doc, I have used roman numerals in the front matter, then in the body, I have used 1, 2, 3, etc. Well, in the TOC, the title of the first section correctly shows as on page 1, but the title of the first chapter is shown as starting on page ii (whereas in the text, it actually would read "2"), similarly, the first subsection in the text is on page 2 (correctly labeled in the text), but in the TOC it reads "ii". The TOC incorrectly shows roman numerals for all of the subsections in chapter 1, except the second to last one, which correctly reads "13". The TOC also shows chapter 2 starting on "xvi" whereas in the text it is actually "16". Then, starting on page 17, to the end of the TOC, all of the numbers are correct. How do I get Pages to correct the TOC to replace the roman numerals with the standard numerals? I want to emphasize that the numerals are correct in the body of the text, they are only incorrect in the TOC. I also want to emphasize again that this problem developed only after I made the most recent update to Pages 5.0 and Mavericks 10.9.

Peter,
Interesting suggestion. I actually had a major complaint with Pages 5. In Pages '09 you could activate a search function to the left of the document, that would allow searching for any term, and would identify and list all of the instances in the document. This is a tremendous time-saver when editing a large document (in my case, a book) where one needs internal consistency. I don't understand why they would remove that feature and leave us with only a tiny search box that goes through instances one by one.
From what I read in your forum, it looks like I might lose some formatting again if I return the document to Pages '09. But, if there is no alternative, that's what I'll do.
Not sure how to archive Pages 5.
