How to assign several TOC to correct the text?

I work in InDesign CC2014 on a Windows 7 PC. I have a document with TOC - one three styles to the content of the chapter, one for a list of figures (LOF) and one for a list of tables (LOT). In each, I have assigned different paragraph styles to use - chapter heading styles, figure caption for the LOF and legend of table for the BATCH. The text for each is an area of unique text not moved on.

Using the option to update Table of contents in the menu layout, the table of contents chapter works. The LOF is using the BATCH. And the LOT is grayed out and will not be updated the content at all. Each of them occurs with the cursor in the correct discreet text box.

I can get everyone to work if I use the Table of contents, choose one I want, flow the text into a new text box and replace the existing text by the new box. Next time, I must do the same, because the Update Table of contents will not work in the new text boxes.

I hope I'm missing just something simple. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thank you.

Peter,

I placed a figure and a table in the document, recreated it in the model from scratch, and everything seems to work. I realized the original had the text placeholder, in the correct style, but if it has not been generated, this could be the reason why it did not work.

I saved the model as a indt file and will use later today or early this week next to the 17 other documents. This will be the text - if they work in the documents created from the template.

I will mark this answer as being correct, and if I have questions after I tried to use it, I'll post them in this thread as well.

Thank you!!

  • How to convert a layer back to the text "T? He is currently uneditable (how did that happen?).

    How to convert a layer back to the text "T? He is currently uneditable and I want to change the font (also, how what happened?).

    According to your layers panel. The top layer is a text layer years the second layer is a raster layer. A raster layer once the case has been closed, cannot be cancelled. It will have to be re-created. If for some reason, you left the file open, then it is perhaps possible to cancel it, because it would show in the history stack. But by default that stack is set to 20 States, to more than 20 he would push the battery.

    I think that you have to bite the bullet and redo this layer.

  • How to use several different sections of the same clip in the timeline?

    Hey, I used this tutorial as a reference for editing. I have my own equipment I want change, which includes several takes different. Is it possible to use several different sections of the same clip in the timeline? You know, like the good part of a certain record keeping. I appreciate any assistance. Thank you

    Post edited by: Kevin Monahan

    Reason: changed the title of best research opportunities

    I prefer to put the clip in the Source monitor Panel, then set the points and exit. From there you can simply drag the section of the element in the sequence.

    Or, you can make a subelement, the section will have a distinct element in the bins in the project Panel. You should always keep the original material, but now you can have real subitems to work if you prefer.

  • How to place an image inline with the text using InDesign CS4?

    I'm writing the first draft of an instruction manual how two for some software.

    I'm writing the manual directly in InDesign CS4 and making screen shots that I'm making progress. I format the screenshot in Photoshop and export it to a JPG file.

    In InDesign, I double-click in the text box where I want to insert the image, go to file > place, get the picture, then press on open.

    Usually InDesign inserts the image at the cursor flashing in the text, but sometimes what happens is that no picture inserted and everything after it disappears. I get several empty text boxes and need to Control-Z to get back to where I started.

    Now I can put the image outside the text box and then manually move it to the text where I want to go, however when I export the file as HTML, then I need to manually move it to the appropriate area in Dreamweaver (when the image is placed inside the text box to the flashing cursor, the HTML file shows the image in the right place).

    I was able to insert the line in file with the text to a new paragraph mark, but sometimes InDesign doesn't let me do. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

    I don't know what I'm doing to prevent it from placing the paragraph mark and the blinking cursor (which is where I want it to appear).

    This is a recording of screen 54sec of my actions:

    http://storytechnician.com/temp/idcs4-place/

    Steps to follow:

    I double-click inside the text box

    I place the image

    everything goes

    I have a few pages scroll, and then return to the starting point

    I have to scroll through a page or double-click inside the text box then press return a few times, and the previous image, I put in this way is automatically pushed to the next page.

    I go back to point of original departure, try again, and it does not work.

    I've done it before, but now it does not work. I don't know what's happened prevents him from online to the location of the cursor.

    Help, please.

    Thank you

    It seems to me that the image is too wide for the frame. You can place it on the editing table, scale in the size, then cut to the Clipboard and paste it into the flow of the text.

  • How can I place an indd - just the text file?

    This is a snippet of my code.

            tfYS[0].insertionPoints.item(-1).place(tfiImport);
    
    

    I'm trying to import an indd file in a pre-existing text block. The framework becomes excess, because the indd file is placed in actual size.

    The indd is a text file with different styles applied. I just want retrieve this text with styles and place it in my text, auto to flow if necessary.

    How can I do?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi SK,

    you would open the InDesign document and duplicate the text at your insertion point.

    Both documents are open.

    The insertion point where you want to "place" the formatted text is selected.

    There is at least a block of text with a paragraph in the document where you want to duplicate.

    Example:

    var targetDocument = app.documents[0]; // The active document
    var sourceDocument = app.documents[1];
    
    var targetInsertionPoint = app.selection[0].insertionPoints[0];
    
    sourceDocument.textFrames[0].paragraphs[0].duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER,targetInsertionPoint);
    

    Example:

    To duplicate the whole text of a story where you know a block of text of this story:

    sourceDocument.textFrames[0].parentStory.texts[0].duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER,targetInsertionPoint);
    

    Search for the text in the documentation for DOM object and its methods.
