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!

are you sure that this section of paragraph style is used to build the table of contents?

There may be some invisible paragraph style which is then used to generate a theTOC

You should check the exact name of the paragraph style that was used in your table of contents

  • Table of contents does not include the Section prefix

    The pages of this document in particular has a section prefix 'A', so the pages are numbered as well: a-1, A-2, A-3, etc.

    When I run a Table of contents, the table of contents is generated without the prefix, as the following section:

    Section 1... 1

    Section 2... 5

    Section 3... 9


    Is there a way, or something I'm missing from the table of contents is generated as follows:

    ... Section 1 a-1

    Section 2... A-5

    Section 3... A-9


    CS6, TIA


    Discovered the problem. When the numbering, I thought that I had actually created a section prefix. I have not, I just typed in the 'A' before the current Page marker.

  • Table of contents - do not enter the table header overflow

    Hey,.

    In my table of contents, I listed two styles:

    1 table of contents Title Page

    2 - the ToC table header

    I also have my table set up correctly - headers, so when a Table flows to a second page - table headers appear in this second page as it should. The tables are large - and not the way to avoid overflow. I think that the principle is called "Text Threading" - but it also works with the tables.

    In the majority of cases - the implementation works perfectly.

    HOWEVER when the table flows to a second page - TocTable header does not appear in the Table of contents regenerated.

    For example, the table of contents looks like this:

    Electric Page 6

    Machine X - Y - Z Page 6

    Electric Page 7

    Electric Page 8

    When it SHOULD look like this:

    Electric Page 6

    Machine X - Y - Z Page 6

    Electric Page 7

    Machine X - Y - Z Page 7

    Electric Page 8

    Machine X - Y - Z Page 8

    Is this possible? I have looked at all - and cannot find all the options.

    Thank you!

    Clarify: X-Y-Z Machine is the title of the table, and he appears in a header row (repetition) over a several page table? And you want each occurrence of table header appear in the table of contents and not only the first occurrence?

    I don't think it will work this way. Header lines is modified on the first page of a table: other pages just repeat the info, but it is not accessible. It would work if you put the title of table above the table (not inside) and it repeated manually at the top of the pages. It's more work, but it will get the desired result. You mentioned that it doesn't happen that often, so maybe that's a doable "workflow" for you.

    That said, most of the TOCs brings you to the first page of a chapter, section, paragraph, and table and do not repeat the entry when the chapter, section, paragraph or a table contains more than one page. If I have sought to your table of contents and wanted to see the section on electricity, I have to stop and wonder what page to go to the first. I think that eventually, I would choose the premiera.

  • 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 nichols

    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.

  • Table of contents, problems in applying the character style

    Hi all

    This is my first post, I checked if there was already something similar, but I can't find anything so I'm asking here.

    I work with Indesign 9.3 and I created a book of 80 pages and there are 20 + chapters.

    I wanted to create a table of contents, so I made an and I put my paragraph for her style, but I had problems to set the character style (he set only to the number of the page, but not to the number and the name of the chapter).

    When I create my summary style I have no problem to indicate the paragraph style that you want to use (and then it automatically applies it properly when I generate my list).

    The problem I want to solve, is that I need that my table of contents automatically the value of the character style, cause, for the moment, I have to apply it after its generation.

    Sorry for my bad English, I hope you understood

    In this case you must use the character for numers style nested within the paragraph style

    I'm usually two independent sparagraph styles (primary materials) chapters and sections (toc details). In this way, you can add a different same nested character style to stand them.

  • Table of contents, Page number on the left if the tab is too short

    Sorry about the title of coplex, couldn't happen to a better.

    Is there a solution to the table of contents of style then the page number never ends on the left side? Everything works fine if the topics listed in the TOC spans on one or more lines.

    But if the listed topic ends exactly at the end of a line (in the table of contents), the page number appears on the left side of the next line. (I have a ^ t between the entrance and the number in the table of contents style.) If a single word in flows in the line below, the table of contents correctly adds the... (dotted) and place the pagenumber to the right.

    Can I modify the paragraph Style from table of contents or TOC Style so that the number is right-aligned, even if there is no prior entry (which is on the line above).

    Example of the problem:

    Correct / Normal... 1
    This title is exact a row of table of contents
    2

    I would also put the option "Balance unbalanced lines.

    Glenn,

    I have developed a fix for this. It has been published several times in this forum, the search engine does not work, so I can't. I'll try to repeat it as much as I can remember.

    You need to redefine your TOC paragraph tags. In the paragraph Designer, select a tag table of contents. Select the Advanced tab. In the section on the wee, the Minimum value 275%, Maximum of 375% and Optimum 100%; CLEAR (uncheck) allow automatic tracking. Click Refresh all.

    REPEAT the above for each TOC paragraph tag.

    Then update your address.

    Normally, must be less than the Optimum, which should be less than Maximum. I have no idea what FrameMaker is no, but it seems trying to set between minimum and maximum word spacing; This allows to determine where the line breaks. Sets optimal spacing, which is 100%. The result is a line break characters to the left of the edge of the image. If the above settings do not enough give you pause, add 100% at a minimum and maximum, but NOT optimal; Optimum must always be 100%. If the break is too heavy, attempts to subtract 100% of the minimum and maximum.

    By programming your tags to TOC paragraph with these changes, the line break is automatic.

    Hope this helps,

  • 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?

    Overset text indicates that you have a text in one or several images which does not appear anywhere in a document. Double-click the red light at the bottom of the document window to open the preflight Panel. Click on the triangles to expose problems. This file has two instances of overset text. Click on the page number on the far right access to one of the examples of problem:

    Overset text icon is one more red in the lower right of the frame.

    There was no place to make this framework any longer, so I've added columns and now all the text fits. A port to clear signals the end of the document. The preflight panel shows now only remaining error, I would set the same way.

    The table of contents can generate very well with overset text, both positions are visible. But you're not finished with the layout until you have solved all the problems of overset text, InDesign tries to help by alerting you of the situation.

  • Table of contents: how to remove the background or transparent?

    Hello!

    I use 7 Captivate. I need to remove my table of contents context or delete it so it is possible to see the slide below (I use the overlay option, of course). I've been through the generated css once my captivate is published (CPLibraryAll.css) and the main javascript (CPM.js) file, but I can't find how to solve my problem.

    In addition, from what I thought until now, the background is an image and not a generated css color.

    Thank you!

    inna88sf wrote:

    So what is the solution?

    In the CPM.js file, there is a block of css for somerhing called bkColor style, which is very probably translated as backcolor. The alpha for this block is set to 100. Set it to 0 and the background is transparent. About the amount of changes I made, I came up with my own script that applies to all changes to any model with the same captivate project.

    in any case, the .css file and the file .js (CPLibraryAll.css and CPM.js) are the best ways to get around the limitations of Captivate. If you have some knowledge of coding, you should definitely check them.

  • How can I alt tag button table of contents that appears at the top of the menu?

    Running the latest version of the Cp7 on a windows machine 7.

    A 508 hang up once more: the customer insists on an active table of contents for the project file. We have activated the TOC and it works fine, but there is a collapsible TOC secondary button located at the top of the slide here:

    1.PNG

    Although I can change the icon for the TOC expand/collapse in the setting of the table of contents menu:

    2.PNG

    I can't put a the button alt tag, which means that JAWS and other screen just readers it reads as a button without a name - which would be 'bad' If you try to pass a test of 508 compliance - who I am. I know that alt tags do not travel with the image file, and I can't find any way to access the file in Captivate to give him a name of accessibility. Someone at - it a solution?

    Justenuf

    You can replace the current picture with one of your choice.  But even if you replace just one pixel GIF, I think that it will always record somewhere in the screen as a button reader.

    However, to be fair to Captivate, you can use the table of contents button on the playback bar to activate the table of contents if need be, or you can configure the buttons on the screen to do so.

    Personally, I wouldn't be way to recovery TOC at all.  I would try for a table of contents separate so that it did not have all the time.

    However, I had read somewhere on this forum (a year or two back) about someone of another conclusion that the links in the table of contents itself were not fully 508 compliant.  Then perhaps you're just chasing your tail here if you try to achieve perfect 508 compliance.
