Why won't table of contents work in Pages

I am creating a songbook with one song on each page.  I have about 65 pages.  I have applied the style "Heading 2" to all song titles at the top of each page.  I went into the TOC tab of the Inspector and where it says "select paragraph styles whose text will appear in the table of contents", I selected "Heading 2" and clicked the box to the right of it so page numbers show up.  I then went to the Insert menu and selected Table Of Contents (a TOC option doesn't show up when I click Sections in the toolbar).  Pages inserted a page in which only one entry shows up on the TOC.  I double checked that all of my page titles were the Heading 2 format and they are.
Why is Pages not making the TOC properly?

A Textbox is an object.
A Shape is an object (it can contain text as well as images).
A Table is an object.
A Chart is an object
The T.O.C. will not scan any of these.
Why are you using tables for a set of songs? Just make the layout multiple columns if that is what you want and then the text can be scanned.

  • Split a Table of Contents on two pages

    Hi everyone!
    I would like to split a Table of Contents on two pages after my own wishes. Is it possible? I know that the TOC can be styled but make it split over 2 pages seems impossible. Does anyone have an idea? Thank you for any input!!!

    Thanks for the feedback.
    It's not my idea.
    It's a variant of what Apple explains in the technote:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2127
    Symptoms
    +When you create a document in Pages, you can add page numbers to your pages, and even choose a numbering format (such as 1, 2, 3; A, B, C; or I, II, III). If you create a table of contents (TOC) for your document, the TOC will always display page numbers as Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3), even if you selected a different format for your page numbers (such as if you chose the letter scheme A, B, C).+
    +If your page numbers are not Arabic numerals, your document may be difficult to navigate since the TOC and page numbers won't match. As a general rule, you should use Arabic numerals to number your pages if you plan on including a TOC so that the TOC will reference page numbers correctly.+
    Resolution
    +If you've used a different numbering format, you can edit your TOC using this workaround:+
    _+Export your document as an RTF (Rich Text Format) document (from the File menu, choose Export, then select the RTF radio button in the resulting dialog).+_
    _+Open the RTF in Pages (from the File menu, choose Open or drag the RTF file onto the Pages icon in the Dock).+_
    _+Manually change the numbers in the Table of Contents section so that they match your page number scheme.+_
    _+Please note that some of your formatting may change during this process and may need to be corrected.+_

  • Why won't my "if" expression work?

    This calculation works:
    IF(A3<1,A3*10,IF(A3<5,20))
    Why won't this one:
    if(A4<1,B4==0,if(A4>1<=2,40,if(A4>2<=3,60,if(A4>3<=4,100,if(A4>4<=5,125)))))
    If you want me to send you the table that I am trying to make this work in, just let me know. Thanks,
    Elaine.

    Never mind, I figured it out! Whew.

  • Why won't combined AND statement work

    I want to exclude records based on two criteria's: status = 'M' and the status reason = 52.
    The table contains records with status = 'M' and status reason other than 52.
    Also the table contains records with status other than 'M' and status reason = 52 and I want to include those records.
    I first tried using the statement below reasoning that placing the two criteria's in parenthesis would combine them and only exclude records with M 52
    Where (nvl(Status_CD,'A') <> 'M' AND nvl(STATUS_RESN_CD,0) <> 52 )
    However the query removed all records with Status_CD 'M' and all records with Status_Resn_CD 52. 
    Using the Where Not statement worked.
    Where Not (External_Status_CD = 'M' and EXT_STAT_RESN_CD = 52 ) 
    I’m curious why the first statement didn’t work?
    Can anyone explain why the first query didn't combine the 2 statements but a Where Not did?
    Thank you - Mark

    Another way of looking at it:
    The condition (x AND y) will be TRUE when both x AND y are TRUE.
    If
    sub-condition x is    nvl (Status_CD, 'A') <> 'M'   and
    sub-condition y is  nvl (STATUS_RESN_CD, 0) <> 52
    then any row with status_cd = 'M' fails sub-condition x, therefore the compound condition is FALSE, regardless of status_resn_cd.
    Likewise, and row with status_resn_cd=52 fails sub-condition y, so the compound condition is FALSE regardless of status_cd.
    You used status_cd and status_resn_cd in one example; but
    EXTERNAL_status_cd and EXT_stat_resn_cd in the other.  That's quite confusing.  Also, you'll confuse everyone (including yourself) if status is abbreviated as stat in some places but not in others.  Either way is okay, but be consistent.  The same goes for abbreviating external as ext; pick one or the other, and use the same word in all places.
    Don't forget to check for NULLs.  If  external_status_cd and ext_stat_resn_cd can be NULL, you should say
    Where Not (    NVL (External_Status_CD, 'A') = 'M'
              and  NVL (EXT_STAT_RESN_CD,    0)  = 52
    depending on your requirements.

  • HT4972 Why won't Kindle or instagram work on my I-Touch? Why do either of them require IOS 4 or 5?

    Why won't Kindle or instagram Apps work on my I-Touch?
    Why do either of them require IOS 4 or 5 and why can't Itouch V2 update to IOS 4 or 5 operating systems?

    1. The developer stopped supporting older iOS versions.
    2. A second generation iPod touch can be updated to iOS 4.2.1 but doesn't have enough RAM to run iOS 4.3 or newer.

  • HT2729 Why won't my video button work?

    My photo button works fine, but when I press the video button, nothing happens.

    Try closing the Camera app completely and see if you can record video when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why won't my lock button work?

    I went to lock my iPod and my lock button won't work. I can't even push it down, it's like stuck down in the hole but it won't pop back up. Everything works fine but I have to wait for it to auto-lock everytime I want to turn it off. Why won't the button pop back up?

    It looks like you have a hardware issue. I don't know why the button doesn't pop up, but You can enable assistive touch. Assistive touch gives you a virtual lock button, so that will solve you problem. You can enable it by going to Settings->General->Accessibillity->AssistiveTouch->On.

  • How do I create multiple TOC's (Tables of Contents) in one Pages document?

    I'd like to have multiple TOC's (Tables of Contents) in one document. This is useful for me because I'd like to have a TOC for the regular chapters, then a TOC for the procedures, then a TOC for the tables in the document (it's a tech manual that I am writing). How can I do this? Thanks for any help you can render, and have a nice day!

    Paragraph used.
    It has nothing to do if there is one main TOC or several smaller TOC to do.
    It isn't true that you can only have one TOC in a document. Use styles for your titles and headings. I do and it works fine without section breaks.
    You also need to tick which tile and heading you want in the TOCs in the Document Inspector > TOC
    Did that.
    Thanks to Yvan's quoting from the User Guide, I see where it says each TOC only indexes the material up until the next TOC. Since I had them follow each other, that is why they had no content.
    Still it defeats the objective of indexing different material throughout the document if all you get is what is between the TOCs.

  • Pdf with table of contents from a Pages file

    I discovered in a pdf file sent to me that it has a table of contents in the sidebar where thumbnails, and annotations also reside.
    When I create a pdf from my pages document this is not available.
    In the table of contents sidebar are the words 'No Sections'. How do I create sections for every para styled as a heading so that they show in the table of contents sidebar of the pdf file.
    I have been using outline to navigate in the pages file but the pdf would be simpler for me to do under meeting conditions.
    PAM

    Your son was probably referring to *Adobe Acrobat Pro*. But I can't see how that would help with the sidebar automatically.
    In *Acrobat Pro* it would be a matter of selecting each head to make a bookmark from that and then resave the .pdf file with the bookmarks sidebar showing upon opening.
    You can also add and edit bookmarks in Preview.
    +Preview > Menu > Bookmarks > Add Bookmark/Edit Bookmarks…+
    I did a further experiment with a Pages document with bookmarks to see if that created the sidebar with bookmarks, but it didn't work.
    There are differences in the ways Preview and Acrobat Reader display .pdfs even with what seem to be straight forward settings. I can never depend on a uniform display.
    Particularly where PC users are involved.
    Peter
    btw When you viewed your Pages document with your TOC did you set the Preview sidebar to show "Table of Contents" in the little icons at the foot of the Preview sidebar.
