How indent, via tabs, table of contents entries?
Hello
I fight with my OCD. I want it be displayed with the growing number of tabs on the left side, as the three levels of title (title 1, 2 and 3)
One header... 1
Header two... 2
Header three... 3
I'm just not getting it. Tried various methods and guides found on the net. But in vain.
Can someone point me to a tutorial that really shows how he's doing, or explain it to me?
Thanks a lot for the tips!
Work around:
apply a style to each heading paragrph include with left indent and tab to the right side.

How to create a table of contents of several levels?
How to create a table of contents of several levels, or at least a TOC of two levels, so that when you click on the sign '+' or something similar to the first level, the second level will increase?
Select the item/s from the list Table of contents, and then use the arrows that will apear at the bottom of the skin Editor to move them to the right. This will cause a new point TOC to appear as a cap for all items indented beneath it.
Be aware that during the execution by clicking on this article of the topic does not operate the game to slide under him. There is no that expand the group to show slides of the child. You will then need to click on the first slide of the child in the group to trigger playback. Personally I don't like the way it works, but that's how it is. Register a feature (like me) request if you want that it works differently in a future version of Captivate.

Indented in the table of contents is not retained in the table of contents of the document
Hi all
I use RH7 on a Windows XP Professional platform.
I am generating documentation and indentation in the table of contents generated in the document is not the same, not even close, as the project.
I tried to use HTML heading levels maintain checkbox, but while titles fonts are better, indentation in the table of contents for the document is getting worse.
When I disable this checkbox, it will give me a decent indentation in the table of contents, however the fonts used for headings in the document are sometimes more small then one used for normal text.
Does anyone has an idea how I could fix it? I don't want to do too much formatting in the Word document either, because it takes a long time.
Thank you
Thus in the document that you want to book either title 1 and 2 book 2 and in the table of contents you want this?
As you can see, this is what I have in the TOC and the body is as described above.
If you select HTML to maintain levels, you will always get the above with the titles of books but third topic will become a heading 1, as it should with this option checked.
I maps to a Word template where the TOC styles are defined to be indented as above. Maybe you have to match to a Word template, or if you are, you just need to tweek styles in it.

Right align page numbers which is found to the left of the table of contents entries
I posted a similar question a while ago I think that substances or Peter replied, but darn if I can find the thread. At that time, they provided a script that does a GREP search, find a sentence that starts with a number and its replacement by a tab. I still have the script, but for some reason, it does not properly with my new table of contents page layout. It must insert a tab on the left page number (page numbers are to the left table of contents entries) and force the numbers right aligned so that a single-digit right page number aligns with the right edge of a two-digit page number.
Find: ^ (\d+)
Change to the: \t$1What is happening in the new table of contents, this is the script is a figure and inserts a tab to the left of the page number. Page numbers are moving to the right, but they do not align right. They are further to the right, but they themselves numbers correspond to the left.
I'm puzzled as to why the script does not work on this new layout. Now I use CS4 and it still works on the former route. Nothing terribly different about the new layout except that the column is much closer, and there are several columns threaded in the TOC instead of a long column and the chapter titles do not have page numbers (but all other entries have page numbers.)
We should probably set the tabulator in your paragraph style: a tab aligned right for the numbers, followed by a tab stop that is aligned to the left to the text that follows this number. (I guess that there is a tab after the number.)

Go to the source of a table of contents entry
I know that I can use the Bookmarks panel to go to the source of the page of a table of contents entry. Is it possible to go to the source of the paragraph so that the text cursor will go to the exact paragraph which is the source of the table of contents entry?
Jay fresno wrote:
Petteri,
As you suggested, I created a shortcut for the command of hyperlinks: go to Destination.
However, my table of contents entries are not in the hyperlinks Panel. they are listed in the Bookmarks panel. So, I don't know how the shortcut will help to to get to the destination of a table of contents entry, or how the shortcut differs by selecting the same command in the context menu of the control panel.
Give advice on how to use the method you suggested to find the destination of a table of contents entry. Once found the TOC destination, how can I know what is the exact point - is there indication, such as the slider is inserted in the paragraph?
The table of contents entries are disconnected from their sources. They are not hyperlinks. In InDesign, there is no way to move from an entry of table of contents to its source, given that in FrameMaker
In the layout > Table of contents, the option dialog box create bookmarks PDF does exactly that - makes bookmarks PDF.
InDesign TOC entries and the index entries require allows you to check hyperlinks in the section Include the export PDF dialog box to create them as clickable links in the exported PDF file.

Kind regards
Peter

How to create a Table of contents of a book as opposed to a single document?
I'm working on a book with several chapters. Each chapter is a separate document joined as well as the rest of the book in InDesign. I have a table of contents in each document, and the hyperlink works very well when the document is exported to PDF. However, I was unable to create a single comprehensive contents table on the front of the book before Chapter 1. I tried everything I know how to create a table of contents for a single document, but that does not work for me with so many documents in the book. Is there something I missed? I'd appreciate any help in this regard.
In the Options section of the Table of contents dialog box, there is a checkbox: Include book of Documents.
What is checked, he must analyze each document in a book for styles to be used in the creation of the table of contents.

Page indent the problem with the table of contents entries...
I have a few entries of table of contents running on more than one line. I would like the text to be indented from the establishment right indent/margin so that text does not as far as the Page numbers on the right margin of the text TOC block extend existing. I put a tab on the right so that the page numbers are tabulated on the right edge of the frame, but if I bring you the right margin with several (currently 5 mm) indenting, I can't have a tab stop to the page outside of the right margin.
If I insert soft-return/new line tanks they wil get lost every time I have rebuild the table of contents (there will be a lot of it!)
Any ideas, I'm sure it happens all the time for designers of the book.
The same way you have a withdrawal of first line, on the left there is a final withdrawal of the straight line. You can set the right two inches (for example) withdrawal and removal of stretch to neutralize two thumbs, all on a single line will go completely to the right of the frame, and any point edge requiring line breaks will break two inches to the left of the right edge of the frame, while the last line will go to the right edge.

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.

How insert/edit a table of contents in the Bookmap?
Hi all
I am quite puzzled, how to use a bookmap to create a full PDF with table of contents to FM9? Everyone (well almost...) wants to OCD but I found nothing in the help and did not try it myself. It seems that I would need to insert a table of contents in the frontmatter section.
Please excuse if there is already a thread, a link would be useful I have search but can't find this problem in the forum. Maybe it's so simple that I'm the only guy to have problems.
I also read in FM10 help but found nothing there either. All information is available from adobe at all? Update to FM10 would be an option if needed.
Hi Robert...
FM-DITA (any version) does not support the automatic generation of a table of contents, Index, etc. a bookmap book lists entry. To create a generated list, you must manually add this element in the generated directory file and regenerate your book. You'll want to do it anyway so that you can assign paging and numbering and apply special models. This procedure is still the best way to manage the map of generating the address of the DITA standard FM...
http://KB.leximation.com/DFM/?kbid=4
Other hand (here is the sales pitch)... If you use DITA-FMx, it is provided automatically. Once you have set up the INI file of book-building with the properties and characteristics in the book, lists of books that add you to the bookmap will become good listings and all your pagination and numbering is applied correctly (in addition to loads of other features).

When I link to my html main project file A and then click a link to return to the main html table component file contents/index/search remains on the screen. How can I remove it?
I work with RH8 and Windows 7. I generate Webhelp.
I have a file that has links to projects and B main html. Each project is in a separate folder. The projects are not merged.
I can link the files generated or published very well. However, when I start moving around in the files/projects, the components of the table of contents/index/search are still visible.
For example, if I click on the link on the main html file for project A it appears correctly. If I click on a link to return to the main html file pane table of contents/index/search remains visible for A project. If the link to go to project B Iclick, I get another part of the table of contents/index/search and have 2 panels visible.
How can I make windows disappear and do not stay on the screen when I move a project to?
Thanks for the help.
Pat
I'm not sure you can. It's like any link on any Web site, if the link opens another browser instance or tab, it is up to the user to close.
Merged help would just open the other topic and keep the user in the same tab. When they click on the links to various projects, the first topic closed and the following would open up.

How to reorder the Table of contents?
Hi all
In Adobe Captivate 8 I'll create a Table of contents for my introduction to e-Learning. I found the tutorial on Adobe on how to create it. I know I can you rearrange slides easily in Captivate. My question is this. The Table of contents will revamp the as well as slides or I have to do separately?
Thank you for your help.
You need to just reset the TOC, there is a tiny button at the bottom which allows to reset. At least if you have best practices:
- to name the slides with the name that you want to appear in the table of contents
- the slides that you want to have a higher level and the name of the Group of groups with the name that you want to appear in the table of contents
In addition I always recommend during training, waiting, with the creation of the table of contents, until the project is completed. Then you can do more editing in the table of contents, such as the creation of more than two levels (groups + slides will be paid the flimstrip, not more levels).

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.

How to insert the table of contents within a table
Using FrameMaker 12, I create a table of contents within a table. This means, 1st column contains the number of paragraphs, the 2nd column of the text of the paragraphs, the 3rd column the page numbers. Of course, each item must fill each cell of the table. I downloaded an example.
Thank you for your help
Nicolas
Create a table of contents in normal conditions and use tabs as separators between the page number and section number, <$paratext>.
Then use convert FM to the usefulness of the table to convert the table of contents for a table using the table design appropriate to your catalog.
It's a manual, and you will have to redo this each time that you update the table, but it should only take a few clicks to do. Automate the steps with a script would make it less painful.

I apologize in advance because I'm a beginner user of robohelp. We had a framemaker file and pulled us in Robohelp. The table of contents generated quite well. But, for several reasons, mainly about how robohelp destroyed imported images from framemaker, we're now just edit the files in robohelp. I added a few items I want to appear in the output of webpro in the left navigation, but I can't understand how do. I'm sure whoever decided to address this need for more details but it seems that each technology author I know don't use robohelp. Help... robos, wherever you are...
Hello
The table of contents in RoboHelp are just a file. Basically, you open the editor table of contents as the first step. Usually, he came within a folder for the table of contents icon in your project manager. It is enough to click plus the sign or double-click with the record of the Table of contents. And then double-click the actual TOC to open the table of contents Editor.
From here you insert, delete, or rearrange the books and Pages as you want. A simple way to add items to the table of contents must drag topics from the list of topics or the project manager in the table of contents Editor. Once you have done this, you can change the verbiage of the books in the table of contents and Pages.
To create a book, you can use the icons at the top of the table of contents Editor, or you can right-click in the table of contents Editor.
Hope this helps. If you need more, just ask!
See you soon... Rick

How to make a table of contents reflects the document formatting?
I use a table of contents for a long document. In the document, some special words - the titles of the texts that I write about - italic. But when they appear in the Table of contents, they are not. Part of the table of contents and problematic subheadings are shown in the attached images. I can do all the headings / subheadings italics, but I don't seem to be able to reformat the individual words, I can find no option for the table of contents to reflect the formatting of the titles themselves. I'm heading to the last resort of manually typing all the senses...
V4.3 Pages ' 09, or Pages v5.6.1, will resume the paragraph/character in the body of the document style attributes in the generated TOC. To a certain extent, you can customize the table of contents thereafter.
