• InDesign CS4 table of contents (TOC)

  Hello

  I created a table of contents in Indesign CS4 by configure headers and styles of subtitles in the paragraph style. In a section of the book, I would exclude the subtitle, but include it in the table of contents. I don't know if it's possible, know the behavior of TOC recognizes only the content of the page.

  We can include subtitle in the table of contents the same when it is not visible on the page?

  Thank you

  Put on a nonprinting layer visible, is a good idea - I'll probably end up doing it by the departure, instead of just leaving a random text box.

  Another useful technique is to put your table of contents entry in an area of anchor text and anchor text you want in the table of contents entry to designate, so if your doc is redéroule, the table of contents with it input stream and the page number in the table of contents will be updated correctly.

  Unfortunately, that is not compatible with the technique of the separate layer

  Anchored objects must be on the same layer, but you can assign not printable.

• Table of contents returns only numbers

  I'm reviewing a book. He already has a table of contents. When I try to review all that I get is a loaded cursor that resembles a matrix number, and when he stuck displays a number with a series of periods (that's fine) and another number:

  Loaded cursor:

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  7 8 9 10 11

  12 13 14 15 etc.

  The table of contents:

  1 . . . . . . . . . . . 1

  2 . . . . . . . . . . . 2

  etc.

  It should show

  1 on the book... 14

  InDesign CS5 v7.0.0.355

  iMac Intel OS X 10.6.5

  I've done it before, but now there's something screwed up I think.

  There are 8 documents (sections) that make up the book.

  Thank you.

• How to make a table of contents to display the chapter number and chapter text together

  I'm working on 11 of FrameMaker. How can I get my Table of contents (TOC) to display the chapter number and chapter title on one line. My chapter titles have the chapter number and chapter title on two lines, two centered at the top of a new page. I wish that my OCD to pick the chapter number and chapter name on one line not two. Thank you.

  If you'v created the table of contents with activation of hyperlinks (default) setting, and then simply hold the CTRL + alt keys and click on empty entries in your TOC file. FM will open the file containing the entrry and jump to the correct section.

• InDesign CS4 page numbering not correctly displayed in the Pages panel

  Hello

  I searched the forums for a solution to my problem before posting. I'm sorry if I'm doubly question from someone, but I'm going:

  I noticed this problem I have about 6 months ago. When I create a simple document with auto-numbering of all right. When I try and create a section (for example, I want my numbering to start at 1 on page 3) it actually works, however, in the Panel Pages, the pages appear with their base numbers. You agree that it is quite confusing. I tried different files, the same files on different computers and so forth. The problem has to do with my installation of InDesign CS4 and I guess it's a kind of a display option that I accidentally turned on.

  Could someone please suggest a solution? Thank you!

  

  

• CS4 Table of contents 'Other Options' button turns into a button 'Save Style'. Help?

  Can anyone help or someone encountered this before?

  When I open the Table of contents dialog box, the 'Other Options' button is there, just under the button "Cancel". BUT the second I go over it with my mouse to click on it, it turns into the button 'save the Style... ', never to return. I tried to navigate using the tab, with the same results.

  I can't do the things formatting I want unless I can access the 'other Options '.

  So my question is twofold: one, have you seen this and how to fix this? And two, is there a way to alter to access the items in the table of contents more Options?

  Thanks in advance!

  It's the kind of strangeness that I would say is a good candidate to replace your preferences

• Table of contents in PDF link only gives access to a page!

  The TOC auto generates a table of contents in a pdf document. But the links are on one page only, they do not scroll down. Is it possible to create links that scroll?

  I guess by table of contents in a PDF document, you mean bookmarks on the Bookmarks panel. Auto TOC in InDesign cannot be changed. You can change (manually) destination of bookmark using the Bookmarks panel in Acrobat Pro.

• InDesign CS4 crashes when converting 1-column text box with a drop shadow to the col-2 (or more)

  I use InDesign CS4 in Windows XP Pro 64-bit, 6 GB of RAM. If I create a column 1 text box, fill it with a color, add a drop shadow, and then add text, everything is fine. If I try to change it to 2-columns (or), InDesign freezes/crashes. I thought at first that it is perhaps because the case was shot, but it happens even if the case is not turned. If I remove the shadow and try to change it, it works.

  Anyone know why this is happening or if there is a known bug or fix?

  Thank you

  XP 64 is totally supported. No troubleshooting should begin there.

• Table of contents displays a mess

  I created and generated a Table of contents and I'm having a weird problem.   He is a 19-page document and Table of contents is set up to display items 1 and 2.  Everything went well, except that to the a page Heading 1 on top of the page opens in the Table of contents under the heading level 1 below - i.e., they are in the wrong order!

  Yes, on the page.

  Text 9

  Text 10

  But he returned on the Table of contents.

  Text 10

  Text 9

  Any ideas on why it would do that?

  9 and 10 numbers page, or numbered paragraphs?

  TOC paragraphs in psotion on the page, then the things that are more left get picked up before things that are less advantage, if that makes sense.

• Display the correct/incorrect indications in a Quiz TOC (Table of Contents) (Captivate 6)

  

  I use 6 Captivate.

  Is it possible to generate an indication in the Table of contents to display to the user a visual indication of correct / incorrect while the subject takes the quiz on the navigation?

  Any help in this effort is greatly appreciated! I've looked everywhere and can't solve this one.

  Thank you!!

  
  

  Ok. So I said that the possibilities of assembling the table of contents are limited. You can create a slide that this will show after the quiz. I guess you have not only question slides, and the slide of score is not sufficient for you.

  This will require the use of variables and advanced actions. Do you know anything about these features in Captivate?

• display information in folders root on the table of contents

  RH8 HTML.

  I wonder that if there is a way to define a survey folder in a table of contents to display information, even just a list of subtopics in a main folder of a browser of WEbHelp and air base exit help.

  for example if you look at the help file in RH8, you click on a section of the table of contents at the top level, that is, tables of contents, indexes, glossaries. information appears and indicates what topics are described in this file in the help file.

  I want to do something similar with my help file, even if all the top-level folder, or a subfolder with subtopics just shows nothing until I click on a specific topic.

  hope that's clear, it's hard to explain... but surely a simple solution.

  Thank you.

  Hi Nick

  I'm a bit confused as to exactly what you want to achieve here. I think that is a part of the question, you mix the terms files and TOC levels.

  When you automatically create a TOC RoboHelp certainly looks like the folder structure that exists in your project and creates a book for each file it encounters.

  Perhaps you mean ask how you configure books in your table of contents so that a click from the user, not only do they widen to reveal what are the links to topics within the book, but a topic displays on the right side that lists the explanations and links to what's in the book? If this is what you want, you will need to create a topic for each book. Make sure he read and appear as you wish, then use the 'Book with link' function of the table of contents to associate subjects with books.

  See you soon... Rick

• Table of contents - power of the text box

  Hello

  I recently started using Adobe InDesign and love it! I have a question around the table of contents. At the beginning of each chapter, we have a simple page with a box in it. (each chapter has about 10 pages). The intention is to have the content of the text become the title of the chapter box and have it displayed in the Table of content. The text box itself has several characters of new line in. When I generate the table of contents, InDesign creates several entries in the Table of contents (one per each new line in the text box). So my question is... Is there a way to specify that the content of the entire text box appears as an entry in the Table of contents. (I'd like to update the table of contents by hand to avoid any errors).

  I appreciate any help in this matter.

  Thank you!!

  So, you say that, break forced line and you want that all the rows in the table of contents? I think that I misunderstood.

  If this is the case you're going to the trouble of formatting of the table of contents, as the forced line break will carry you through to the table of contents (you can change the colours using styles or nested GREP and those will not set if you use a different style in the table of contents list itself).

• Table of contents missing after the publication in MP4 format

  I created a project and included a table of contents, I can review the project but and everything looks good, but when I publish and preview there is no table of contents is displayed.

  MP4 is a video format, may not have interactivity, table of contents is not possible.

• Table of contents links keep current zoom level do not zoom to full page

  When Indesign creates tables of contents, they automatically connect the paragraphs, links point to, so that in an interactive PDF, clicks and prods take the user to this page. Large.

  Is what is not so great that hypertext links / references / jump-links / whatever born behind the scenes within the table of contents seem to be:

  1. .. .be is automatically set to reset the zoom to width full page
  2. .. .not be changed somehow

  Normal cross references keep the level of zoom that the user chose and normal hyperlinks that point to a page in the document have a range of settings on this change of zoom level (if any) must be imposed on the user, which can be set to "inherit zoom".

  How can I set up a table of contents bothering users by resetting their chosen artitrary default zoom level when using the interactive table of content?

  I really hope that I don't have a gap table of content feature Indesign and create all the cross-references manually.

  (edited) So it turns out that you can "expand" a table of contents by copying and pasting - it fills the hyperlinks with links that can be edited (as above), but the auto-update breaks - there are a table of contents, they are just one block from text full of links. (I got different copies mixed up when I thought that the framework that the editable links was also-automatic update)

  Aging out of the links is a red herring, just something to do with the fact that they were on a master page.

  This means that a possible OCD workflow is:

  • Create a table of contents on the pasteboard somewhere.
  • Before finalizing the document, to update the table of contents and alt-do drag the table of contents 'live' creates an editable of 'dead' copy in a suitable place in the document
  • Change the properties of the links links in the 'dead' copy (remember that you can select several hyperlinks at once by holding down the SHIFT key and change things like the Zoom all at once with the hyperlink Options setting from the context menu of hyperlinks).

  Then if you make further changes to the document later, remove the copy dead, update and re - copy the live original and redo the changes to the new copy

  This isn't a bad way - it adds just on the work of a minute, each time you export a PDF file (delete and update TOC, alt drag, shift-select the new batch of.) XXXX links at the bottom of the hyperlinks Panel, > hyperlink, Zoom setting Options > Inherit Zoom, actually).

  Otherwise, you may build manually to a table of contents using cross references, if you want the links to the exact position on the page, not just the top of the appropriate page.

• Generate the table of contents with chapter markers?

  It has been a while since I had to install and create a table of contents for a long document of single file, but I'm sure that I created TOCs in this way in the past. Then, why the text in the Section markers will appear in the table of contents? It is even possible to generate a table of contents that contains text of article marker?

  I use InDesign CS5 in Windows. I have a file single document I'm trying to generate a table of contents for. I designed a 16-page manual in an inDesign file that includes a cover page, table of contents page and seven "chapters."

  I created a separate section for each 'chapter' and used Chapter markers in the top of the page master for chapter names. It's something I did in the past of syntactically long documents containing several chapters.

  I put the first page of each 'chapter' as a new Section on the Pages panel. In numbering and Section Options for each page, I checked the Section getting started, Automatic Page numbering, the Style of Page numbering: 1,2,3,4... and in Section marker: I put the name of 'chapter' in the text box.

  

  I've set up paragraph and character Styles and has used throughout my document. When I put in place the table of contents I created everything correctly, including a heading style that I used for all the sub lines in my file and my style of Section marker for chapter names.

  

  When I insert the table of contents, generate headers sub with their page numbers, but the titles of the chapters which are chapter markers do not generate. Am I missing something or is it still possible to enter the text of chapter markers in a table of contents? I'm sure that he's worked in the past. Can anyone offer a solution for this?

  Thank you

  Kat

  Looks like the markers section present only in the table of contents if they are on a document page. Try manually to the substitution of the frame.
