Trying to add table of contents.

I wrote a book in pages.  No particular format as I had never planned to publish at the beginning.  Now that I want to self publish, I need a table of contents.  I have read the instructions and done what it says.  I either get the message that paragraph form is not found or the document updates a section of it, putting numbers next to about 30 lines of the book and placing paragraph in wrong section.  What am I doing wrong?  How can I update the document with acceptable paragraph style.  I have each Chapter at the top of the first page in each chapter, and then a page break before next chapter.  Do I need to have the Chapter heading on a page by itself?
Someone please help!
Thanks

You need to apply the named styles as you go because you can make most of them simply default to what you want, but it is not too late to apply them now. Pages lets you select non-contiguous bits of text and you don't have to select all the text, just some of it in each paragraph to apply the styles from the Styles Drawer.
The TOC will have the necessary hyperlinks to what they are pointing at.
I don't know what Amazon's process is but I assume if you have done it correctly for an ePub it will do what it has to do.
Have you checked what formats Amazon requires? You really need to work backwards from that.

  • Mail crashes while trying to read "Table of Contents"

    Whenever I try to open Mail, it sits there trying to read the table of contents, after about 30 seconds, it starts to play with the beach ball, then quits. I've tried repairing disk, permissions, and removing all the files I can think would help. I've run out of ideas, and would really like to get this fixed.
    P.S. I have 3 other accounts on my computer, and they get mail from the same place, and don't have any problems.
    P.P.S. I have 2882 messages in my inbox, and roughly 20 GB disk space left.

    You removed all mailboxes (.mbox files) located within this problem account named folder at Home > Library > Mail and the same occurs when re-launching Mail?
    The TableofContents file is a package file for a .mbox so it is hidden.
    I'm not sure how you removed all mailboxes for this account but quit Mail first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > this POP account named folder (named by the user name and incoming mail server for the account). Move the account named folder to the Desktop.
    Launch Mail and if it launches successfully without locking up and quitting, a new account named folder will be created automatically by Mail within the account named folder.
    All email clients have limits and the recommended size limit for a Jaguar or Panther mailbox is 1GB and for Tiger Mail, 2GB.
    An "overstuffed" mailbox issue can occur at any mailbox size (which means the mailbox has some corruption and/or is over the recommended size limit) but is more likely to occur depending on the number and size of message attachments contained in a mailbox and especially as a Jaguar or Panther mailbox approaches or exceeds 1GB in size.
    Since an account's Inbox mailbox is usually the most active mailbox, it is not a good idea to use an account's Inbox mailbox as the final storage location for all received messages not deleted.

  • Table of contents in Pages - can't get it to work

    Tried creating a Table of Contents in pages
    Marked my headlines, changed them into title, heading and subheading.
    When everything needed was changed into proper format, I wanted to insert the table of contents from the menu. I get the error message, that no text is formatted in the correct way and therefore my table of contents can't be created.
    I previously used MS Office - and creating a table of contents works in the same way. I have read the users guide for Pages, trying to figure out what I've done wrong - but it didn't work out.
    If anybody could solve this peace of mystery I'll be very thankful
    Maria

    Hi Terry,
    you helped Maria so well. Maybe you can help me aswell ... I just started using Pages (trial version) and have used MS Office before that. I want to create a TOC based on styles that are numbered as follows: 1. heading 1
    1.1. heading 2
    1.1.1. heading 3
    1.1.1.1. heading 4 asf.
    If I create a numbered style it will only have 1. and no further level (is that the right word? I'm German, sorry!). If I create a style from a numbered list (where it is possible to have different levels) I can create a TOC but have to format that completely aswell (the TOC doesn't have the format of the headings, in particular the numbers are gone and also the format). In MS Word it seems to be much easier. Here I create a style (heading 1, 2, 3, etc.) and can asign numbers and levels to the headings. The TOC shows the exact same format as the headings in the document. How can this be achieved in Pages? Apple should actually do better then MS, shouldn't it?!

  • How to add an existing content database to new Site collection

    Hi All,
    Can anyone help to figure out how can I add existing content database to a new site collection in SharePoint 2013 foundation.
    We have more than 40 site collections under one web application, and only one site collection is returning 404 error. When checked in the central admin to view all site collections, the details on the right side of the site is not visible, and unable
    to delete it. The database is not corrupt, as I tried to add the same content database to a new web application, and it works perfectly in a new web app.
    As we couldn't find any solution, the only option we thought of was to blow the site collection and create a new one and add the exisiting database, but I am unaware as to how can I add existing database to new create site collection. Can anyone help
    me with this please?
    Regards,
    DJ

    It's working....
    The current database was corrupt I guess, (not sure though). Took old backup file and tested to see if it's working. After the test was successful...
    Removed the current database in CA
    Delete the current database in SQL server
    Restored the working backup file in SQL server
    Added the content db in CA
    That's it... the site collection is working now...

  • Clearing Table of Content status flags on file launch??

    I have a trainin course with the Table of Contents feature (Captivate 4), which displays what screens the user has viewed by displaying green status flags. Our customer may have a workstation set up as a “training station”. It appears as though the status flags in the TOC is cumulative. In other words, of one student comes in, completes the training, and then another student comes in behind him to use the training, all the status flags from the previous training session are still visible. So, my question is…Is there any way to control the status flags without each user having to manually clear them using the clear button? Possibly with a variable of some sort? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi there
    Have you tried clicking Project > Table of Contents > Settings... and ensuring the Status Flag option is cleared?
    Cheers... Rick

  • Crystal report : can't add table in the samples provided by SAP

    Hello,
    I tried to add tables in the generic samples provided  by SAP.  I used the database expert and just added a new table but when I save the report in SAP and want to run it it is blank.
    Is there another way to add a table ?
    BR

    Already tried all those tricks!
    My question is concerning the standard layouts provided by SAP (downloaded from marketplace). The idea behind those reports is that you can use them as Templates. 
    The tables are not hardcoded with the table.field name but with a specific syntax that allows you to use those templates in any type of document (ex : you can use the template of sales order for delivery and invoices). The problem is that if you add a new table the report doesn't work!
    Thank you for the response anyway.
    Best Regards,

  • SharePoint 2013 Table of Contents Web Part

    I have upgraded to SharePoint 2013 and have a table of contents web part that is supposed to display 5 columns. Instead, it is displaying all the sites in one long vertical column. I found the PowerShell script to set the displaycolumns property on the
    web part. However, when I ran the script, this property was already set to 5, yet it is still only displaying one column. I tried adding another table of contents web part and setting the displaycolumns to 5, but that did not work either. How can I make
    this web part to display properly?

    Hi gmchusyr,
    What script did you use for this issue?
    Table of Contents web part's display column is removed from SharePoint 2013 version, it still display in SharePoint 2010.
    Please try to run the PowerShell commands in the TechNet blog below, compare the result.

  • How do I add headers to the Table of Contents?

    Hi there,
    I have a book that mainly consists of text boxes rather than inline text. The main title (on each page) is what I want to show up in the table of contents so the reader can just tap the title and jump to the page. How I tried to do this was make the titles "Header 1" and then go to table of contents and add that to the list but it doesn't seem to be working. I am thinking it's because TOC might only work with inline text. Does anyone have any other suggestions for this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Caleb

    Sorry, I'll try to describe this layout as best I can and if I still need to change it to make it work then I guess that's life.
    Page Layout
    Preface
    Mission Statement
    About the Author
    Acknowledgements
    Using the Manuals
    Chapter 1 - Muscles of the Lower Leg
    Soleus Medial
    Soleus Lateral
    Plantaris
    etc.
    Chapter 2 - Muscle Quizzing
    Soleus Medial
    Soleus Lateral
    Plantaris
    etc.
    So when your in the table of contents, you can swipe between preface, muscles of the lower leg, and quizzing pretty easily. In preface (underneath the preface title in the table of contents) it shows a list saying Mission statement, about the author, etc.) I want that same list to appear for the pages under Muscle Quizzing.

  • Table of Contents vanishes when trying to update or regenerate in CS6

    I'm working with InDesign CS6 on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
    This is an old, legacy document. Today, I needed to remove two pages, so of course, I need to update my table of contents and index. I had no problems with the index - it regenerated just fine. The TOC is another matter. I clicked Layout > Update Table of Contents. I got the message stating that the contents was updated. However, what actually happened was the TOC text vanished! And, it actually is gone because I can see two empty paragraph markers where the TOC used to be. I've tried regenerating it instead of doing the update. Same result - it's gone.
    I'm still fairly new to InDesign, so I'm not sure what I can do to troubleshoot this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Sounds like ID doesn't think there are any paragraphs with the style names you've selected for inclusion.
    But I'm not a fan of direct conversion of legacy files because these sorts of things, or worse, happen a lot. Try this: Remove minor corruption by exporting

  • Add section titles to "table of contents".

    I am attempting to build a book from a Genealogical Generational listing that indicates the generation number at the beginning of each section. I also add that number along with the section page number at the bottom of each section. i.e. Generation 1  page  n.
    Is there any way to automatically pickup the section title to add into the "Table of Contents"?
    Using my present method, highlight the section title, click "Paragraph Style" (edit to my preference); will show only page 1 for all section beginning pages and seems unprofessional. alternatively, I could just leave out the page number somehow and attempt to "Tab" the first page of each section. Basically, what I would like is:
    "Generation 1
    Generation 2" etc.... or something similar without page numbers and the section name is the page link to the first page of that section.

  • Fatal error when trying to add derived table

    Hello,
    I'm new at desiging a universe. I get the following a fatal error when trying to add a derived table to my universe:
    1 processor x Family 15 Model 0 Stepping 0
    Windows 2000 Workstation  v5.1 build 2600 (S)
    Physical Total/Avail: 2.097.151 Kb / 2.004.940 Kb
    Temp directory C:\DOCUME1\xxxxxx\LOCALS1\Temp\ (1 Kb available)
    'Unknown' video card
       1280 x 768 in true color
    (doesn't make sense to me)
    I use an ODBC connection that connects to a MySQL database. When I test the connection it's fine.
    I am trying to add a derived table because it seems that my universe cannot produce LEFT OUTER JOINS.  I read somewhere that I should set my ansi92 parameter to YES instead of NO. But, everytime I re-open my universe, it sets itself automatically to NO again.
    My utlimate goal is :
    For example, list ALL the people, left join my table to their websites, but return ALL the people, even if they don't have a website.
    I dont' understand, my join should be simple enough.
    Anybody knows what could be causing all these restrictions ?
    Thanks for you help.
    Edited by: Sose Canadian on Feb 9, 2009 9:40 PM

    Hi Sose,
    In BusinessObjects (Universe) Designer, the outer join option in a join is not available and is dimmed when using a Generic ODBC connection.
    Try Following Solutions:
    Solution : 1
    When using an ODBC connection the odbc.prm must be modified on the machine where BusinessObjects Designer is used.
    Use the following steps to modify odbc.prm:
    1. Locate odbc.prm in the following folder:
    \Business Objects\Business Objects Enterprise 11\win32_x86\dataAccess\Connection Server\odbc
    2. Open odbc.prm in a text editor and modify the parameter 'EXT_JOIN' so its value is 'YES' instead of 'NO'.The outer join option is now available in BusinessObjects Designer.
    If the outer join option is still not available after following the steps above. open odbc.prm in a text editor and modify the parameter OUTERJOINS_GENERATION. Change its value from 'NO' to either 'ANSI92' or 'ODBC'.
    Solution : 2
    This can occur when user is using a non-database specific middleware such as generic ODBC. Generic ODBC allows creating a successful connection and universe, however will not allow the Outer Join option.
    The syntax for outer joins is specific to each database and the Generic ODBC driver only lets you access standard common features of all ODBC data sources.
    Ensure that you are using the database specific middleware to create the connection.
    I Hope this Helpsu2026.
    Thanksu2026.
