Find/change the question numbers and create the Table of contents

Hello! I need help to find all my item numbers and apply a paragraph style so I can use them to create a Table of contents page.

The sample numbers

#12345

#12345-5

#12345-20

#12345-ABC

#12345/N

I tried to enter #^? ^ ? ^ ? ^ ? ^ ? in the search/replace and but it is exactly 5 characters after the sign #. I wonder if you can find all characters starting by # and up until the last characters.

Once I found all item numbers, how can I apply the paragraph style to have these characters after the sign #? Because I only want to show item numbers without the # sign on the Table of contents/Index page.

In addition, I have InDesign CS2, which have no function GREP maybe I can do this without the GREP?

I really appreciate any help. Thank you very much.

Are your numbers by themselves in a separate paragraph? OTHERWISE you can not USE the table of contents feature to list all the numbers.

If are, then just look at # in find/replace, then set it to change formatting a new paragraph style (you must create this style in CS2) that you want to include in the table of contents, then as you say, you can use find/replace once more on the history of the TOC to remove the # of all numbers.

  • How to use the search bar 'Find' in the table of contents to find the script FULL of my course?

    Hello

    My project contains voice narration with the support of chips. Start-up option "find" in the table of contents looks only bullets of text on each slide to specific words. Is there a place I can insert the full script (rather than the abbreviated chips) spoken by the narrator in my class so that the option "find" search in these words?

    Thank you!

    Hello!

    Captivate, in fact the finding of OCD to retrieve and search for the text content of slide and slide labels usage.

    What you can do to get your full script to work.

    (1) add a text caption slide.

    (2) paste is your complete script. (From slide notes)

    3) go to properties of legend text-[disable] option which does not show in the output.

    In this way, you would have all your content on the slide to search for in the table of contents, but still not visbile to users, they would continue to see the short balls.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to change the table of contents

    Awhile back, I created a table in my document and it works very well. Now I need to add a section and I completely forgot how do. If anyone can help?

    Your table of contents is pulling one or more Styles (probably the stars) paragraph of the document. Add the new article he style identical to existing sections (same paragraph Styles), then update the table of contents (right click anywhere in it and choose to update Table of contents). Unless you have a few other wrinkles, that should come at the end.

  • Cannot change the table of Contents Page icons in RH10

    I adapted successfully table of Contents Page icons in the previous versions, but in RH10, option seems to be missing. After past the method as well as help boards & Forums, I have pod TOC page right-click, choose Properties, Advanced tab, but once there all I see are the image and comment options. There is no option to change the icon of the automobile to a different style in a drop-down list (because I expected to see under Advanced). My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. Either by the way, I used this feature in the past to indicate a subject that has new features or topics of a different nature.

    Hello

    I have RH10 in front of me at the moment, so I paint entirely from memory on this.

    When you look at your single Source Layouts pod, which is the main provision on?

    If it is not configured for Microsoft HTML Help, find this layout and right click. Then propose that it be the main provision. Once you do this, I'd be willing to bet a dollar against a doughnut that you will now see the option to change the icons.

    The background color of the text is controlled by the selection of "Title" in the color.

    title text font, size and color are controlled by accessing the "Info" button and selecting "Title" in the theme area and by changing your selections there.

    Risk can be achieved, but if there is, it will have to be changed to code JavaScript and some "behind the scenes" files You would also be painted in the corner of having to do the same changes every time you generate the output.

    If anyone knows how to get there, it will be Willam. It will perhaps be pop and Advisor.

  • InDesign CS5 - customizing the table of contents

    Hello

    I have a book of 200 pages that uses x 3 table of contents for different purposes. All the works that I expect.

    However, one of my OCD contains a list of advertisers that lists the name of the advertiser and is the relative page number.

    Apart from the text main pages are ads that appear on the IFC, the IBC and the OBC in the book.

    I have the cover pages set up as OBC/column spinal/OFC and IFC/column spinal/IBC with personalized and prefixes section page sizes.

    Is there any way to prevent the table of contents to generate number page after prefix in these cases, I guess that the pages are auto numbered to the table of contents feature?

    Announcer 1... IBC6

    Advertiser 2... .. OBC1

    Advertiser 3... IFC4

    Steve

    I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, but I think you are saying that you want the section prefix, but not page numbers, for ads. As far as I know, you cannot automate the removal of the numbers, but there is nothing prevents you to change the table of contents to remove them manually (or with find/replace using GREP) after the table of contents was generated.

  • 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.

    InDesign_Pages_NumberingSectionOptions.jpg

    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.

    InDesign_TOC.jpg

    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

    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.

  • WebHelp, view a topic that is not present in the table of contents

    Hello

    I'm working on RH8. I use multiple TOC and created a table of contents with only the first 4 chapters. After having generated the WebHelp by using that FAKE, even if I look for a subject that did not exist in the table of contents, I can see the help.

    Ideally, if the topic is not added to the table of contents, should not be displayed even if someone searches for it.

    Please help me with this.

    Looks like you expect the table of contents to control what is in the construction and it's not the way it works. It is simply the pointer on key issues, which may need to support the topics where you wouldn't wish that the user to start and that might clutter up the table of contents.

    What you see, it's the way it is supposed to work and how a HAT I've seen. The table of contents indicates what you want to highlight, the search finds all that is in the build.

    You can use exclude research in properties, introduced in RH8. In this way the subject is in the build-up but not searchable.

    If you don't want certain topics, use TCC to exclude.

  • I need to create a table of contents in iPages but I want only one word for the title, not the line of holes. Or, how can I change the contents of the table? Thank you!

    I need to create a table of contents in iPages but I want only one word for the title, not the line of holes. Or, how can I change the contents of the table? Thank you!

    Yes, you can have a one word title, by assigning a paragraph style title to this one word. No, you cannot change the text in a Table of contents, but you can change paragraph style font attributes (line) and add for example, a head of points between the types of OCD paragraph and page numbers. No part of the table of contents will not provide hyperlinks in exported PDF documents.

    When you look up in the menu bar, you can see the word iPages, or simply Pages. There is no product of iPages.

  • Has anyone who has worked with doc us MIL - STD and generated with the success of the page numbers in the table of contents?

    I'm creating a template using FrameMaker 7.2.

    MIL - STD dictates works package (such as chapters) page numbers in the format: 0001-1, 2-0001, 0002-1 and 2-0002, etc.

    The problem I encounter draws in this format of the page number in the table of contents generated.

    I used a variable on the Master Page, and generate page numbers in each package to work properly.

    I know that in point 7.2 of the FM, you cannot include a variable in a table of contents generated.

    So I tried changing the variable on the Master Page to text using a paragraph tag (WPnumber), but have not gotten it either works.

    Tried all the other stuff I could think of, too.

    In my view, a part of the problem is that FM cannot have leading zeros when you set the page number or chapter (understandable 99.9% of the time).

    If anyone has suggestions or solutions, I am very interested to hear.

    Thank you.

    1Editor - and puzzled

    I already manually put the zeros.

    I just want to be clear that strikes the zeros directly on the master page does NOT have to include in the table of contents. You then type in the context of the reference to the table of contents also. In addition, you must have separate template and reference pages for chapters 10, 11, etc., in order to obtain the number of zeros correctly.

    With my method, the zeros are introduced as part of the chapternumber itself, in the chapter number of the TEXT. You still have to type but only once for each file.

  • Page numbering and the Table of contents

    I have a book containing 23 document files. Document files contain the page numbers in the footer.

    One of the document file is a generated table of contents (TOC). Unfortunately, the generated page

    the number in the table of contents do not match the numbering of the pages in the files. Here are the details:

    • The title page, in a file by itself, is not numbered
    • The frontmatter, distributed in five cases use lowercase Roman (i - xvi)
    • The body of the text in the remaining 17 files is digital (1-243)
    • The generated TOC uses cardinal numbers of the book as a whole. For example,.
      Chapter I is numbered correctly in the footer from page 1. However, he is listed in the table of contents
      as starting on page 19, because this is the file real 19th in the book. I put the document numbering
      This file from 1 properties and properties of Page numbering for the book as a whole to
      be "continue."
    • The style of the table of contents entries is correct. In other words, the frontmatter uses a tiny Roman and the
      chapters use Numeric

    I tried to regenerate the table of contents, but this did not help.

    Does anyone have suggestions on what is the way prescribed to do?

    OK, I continued to read and this is what I found:

    Set the numbering style in the document, and not in the book that we told you. Format > Document > numbering. Choose Arabic or digital. Repeat for the various chapters.

    Save and close the chapters. In the book file, click with the right button on each chapter and choose Configure XXX. This is where tell you the book to continue the page numbering or restart at the 1.

    Once this is done, update your address. From there, if there are issues, we rely on the logic of the Fm we use every day, and each of us can help you solve.

  • Can I create a hierarchy of topic on the project manager pod or I must rely on the table of contents?

    Hello

    Can I create a hierarchy of topic on the project manager pod or I must rely on the table of contents? I use RoboHelp 9 (although I doubt that the version of the questions).

    Thank you

    Mary

    Hi Mary

    As you do this is by creating folders in the project manager, then create new topics in the files or move the existing entries in the records.

    If you work exclusively in the project manager, you are only able to move a single topic at a time. If you want to move a swarm of topics, open the pod of the list of topics and you can select as many as you want. Then drag the subjects selected to the folder on the project manager pod. Be a little careful when you drag. Often the mouse will pass over a tab at the bottom of the basket, and this can change their minds about you.

  • Chapter numbers will appear in the table of contents with page numbers...

    First of all, thank you all so much for the display of the answers.  This forum is wonderful.

    I have a doc that needs to have chapter numbers appear with the page numbers in the table of contents.

    I insert the < $chapnum > and < $currentpagenum > in the footer and I get 1-1 appears.

    To include 1-1 in the table of contents, do I have to edit the referring Page, or is there another way.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Change the reference to the table of contents page to use the building block as well as the first page, which is <$chapnum>chapnum.<$pagenum>

  • Lists numbered in the heading styles do not appear in the table of contents

    1.2

    1.3

    1.4

    1.4.1

    1.4.2

    one.

    c.

    d.

    When I create the table of contents, however, the numbering does not appear.

    Anyone know why this happens and if there is a workaround?

    Appreciate any advice.

    1. Go to set the styles in the menu layout, table of contents
    2. In the diolog: more Options
    3. In the paragraphs numbered section: select "Include full paragraph.
    4. Save the Style and use.
