FrameMaker 2015 is no longer generate tables of contents (TOC)

All of a sudden, some people in our team cannot generate tables of contents in FrameMaker 2015, while others may still. We could all generate TOCs without problem until this week (at least, this week is when we noticed the problem). Are there known issues with the 3.1 update that was released in April (I think)?

When we select Add > > create Standalone TOC, FrameMaker creates a TOC file and adds it to the book, but the file is completely empty. When we try to update the TOC file, nothing happens. When we try to create/update fakes with other books and models, same thing.

Other people are able to create/update TOCs with these same files. We have not been able to determine what is the difference which is causing the problem.

Those of us with the problem all seem to have 2015 FrameMaker version 13.0.3.495 installed. But at least a person who has the same version of hotfix can create/update TOCs. (We are all on Windows 7, 64-bit).

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

Jason,

We have introduced an OCD related bug in update Fm 13.0.3 where in unstructured books OCD is not generated in structured mode.

As a solution, he is requested to work in unstructured for unstructured books Mode:

1. edit > Preferences > Interface product > select FrameMaker > restart FM

2. open the book > Update > should work

We work for a quick update for the same thing.

  • Generated table of contents contains errors in the sections

    I'm working on a large document that was created by someone else. When I try to update the table of contents, there are a few spelling mistakes that are not in the headings in the body of the document (I corrected, but the table of contents are acting as errors are still there).

    For example:

    In my paper on page 32, there is a section "Fieldbus Protocol" (he was previously misspelled, such as ' Protochasl ' and I fixed it)

    It shows in the generated table of contents: 32 Fieldbus Protochasthe < < so this is to show the 'old' spelling, even though I've updated the table of contents with the page layout > Update Table of contents command.

    Is there a code behind (like HTML) for InDesign text which is perceived by the TOC generator? It acts like it is looking 'old' versions of these positions.

    Thank you!

    I'm rather tempted to use a rendering of the font tool to convert your icons of character glyphs in Unicode E000-F8FF private use area *. Then, the icons are just text introduced in each topic. Note: in a position of switching character Formats breaks automatic hypertext in the table of contents. See:

    The problem of termination of the link could be avoided by using a Unicode open license text font which is similar to your favorite title font and adding glyphs to icon for private use. Then there is no change of character format in the relevant TOC entries. Of course, turning your icons in glyph police presume you have vector art for them which is easily converted to outlines, otherwise it will be a great effort.

  • Captivate Table of contents (TOC)

    Hello

    I am putting together a multimedia CD in Captivate, which will be essentially a nice interface for users to navigate to attached PDF and DOC files and a little video instruction here and there.  I want to include a search and table of contents installation and the integrated to captivate is ALMOST PERFECT!  However, the current time/total time box downstairs would make no sense to users that it is a multimedia CD.  I wish that hide.  Also, the search button requires clicking to open the search text box.  I got some comments saying that they did not see where to type their search text (they didn't know they had to click search, so I hope to be able to change the text on this button "Click to search" or something like that.)  If we can hide the time/total current box, it would be preferable, because it seems to me, and others like this would be where you would type your search text (as it is next to the search button).

    In addition, if possible, remove icon star bookmark at the top completely, because they are not really needed and I want that interface for the users to be as simple as possible.

    I have ideas, or other means to implement a search tool.

    So you can see what I'm talking about, I've included a screenshot of my current interface.

    Thank you.

  • Creating hyperlink in the generated table of contents

    Hello

    I use InDesign CS4 and the difficulty to create hyperlinks in my automatically generated by Table of contents. I can create the destination in the document, but then the opportunity to create the new hyperlink (from Interactive menu drop-down) in the table of contents has disappeared. Option is not visible anywhere elsewhere in the document, or if I create manually the table of contents, just doesn't seem to work with generated automatically a.  Does anyone know if this is a known problem in CS4?

  • Entry entry not added to the automatically generated table of contents

    Using RoboHelp HTML 11.

    I'm linking a Word document into my project and have it automatically create the Table of contents. I create new pages from the Word title 1 and title 2.

    As a general rule, a section in Word will be like this:

    Heading 1

    Body

    Section 1.1

    Body

    Section 1.2

    Body

    In the table of contents, it will create a book labeled "Heading 1" and pages for 1.1 and 1.2 position position. There is no page for heading 1 or the body of the text that goes there.

    I can manually add the title page 1 of the book, but I suspect that I don't have to. Y at - it a setting I use wrong? Or a tip or solution?


    Thank you.

    -Shawn

    If you click on the book for heading 1, it go to the right place and show the body of the text?

    Separate headings are created for heading 1, section 1.1. etc., or is - this a topic with the table of contents goes to the required place?

  • 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?

    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

  • 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.

    Master Pages are part of each document.

    You can import master pages from another document (i.e. a ' model') in your current document using the file > import > Formats... option and select layout from the list (deselect all others).

    If you have changed the current TOC for the problem of the Page Master on the left, then simply save the file and use the Edit > update book option for that OCD regenerated by using the new page templates.

  • Using Framemaker 7.2. Create a table at the top of the first page

    Moreover, in FrameMaker 2015, there is also a table format 'catalogue' as you know from the catalog of paragraph and character style. This makes it very easy to assign table models to the tables (see here).

  • I can't get the page numbers in my table of contents to update when I update the book.


    I use Framemaker 11 and I have two tables of contents in my book: one in English and French. Each table of contents to links to various documents in the same book. The reference page for each table of contents is defined and properly displays the positions 1 and 2, I said that it appears, but numbers not updated when the contents of my document files change to another page. I checked the settings of conditional text in my document files; they are correct. When I update the book, I choose to update the numbers, all the cross-references, all text inserts, OLE links, generate a Table of contents, lists, and indexes. What I am doing wrong? Thank you.

    If they are not knocked down, then they are certainly not generated files. See the example in the help of FM11: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/11.0/Using/images/bk_hier_books.png

    The 'K' is a TOC file that FM recognizes a generated file.

    Because you have created your table of the contents of the French with the help of another structure of the book, you could import reference this TOC file in another file of FM (for example to create an inset text) in the main book you want. However, you need to make updates in two steps. First update the French book to revise the table of contents. Then update the main book to get the rest of the correct pages (and given that the table of french contents are imported by reference, FM always uses the most recent version).

  • How can I add a caption to a table of contents?

    I was assigned the role of building a model Indesign to eventually replace the Word MS one that we currently use, but I have never touched this software before. With a lot of Googling, I groped my way through it a little, but I can't seem to understand this one.

    If I just add, it is deleted on update, so... I am at a loss. The only option is to stay another text box there? I was trying to avoid this.

    here.jpg

    I just frome background coding so I'm not dodge this option if possible.

    Don't know what it is you are trying to do here.

    A table of contents are based on the paragraph styles you include, and it should be in its own frame, do not put on other stories. Do you mean, perhaps you want a column on page numbers?

    You can add that the insertion of a paragraph above the first listing in the generated table of contents (when it is placed, you can edit it normally like any other story), but you have to do every time the table of contents are updated. You can also change the 'content' line to read the content ^ n ^ yPage and then create a GREP search in find/replace to Find \^n\^y and change it to \n~y and it will add the linebreak and a withdrawal to the right tab. The ^ n ^ y is not a code required in this case - you can use what you want as long as it appears nowhere else - and you can use any sort of tab you like after the break, too. If you save the query, find/replace, it will be slightly faster that back manually after an update of the table of contents.
