• Manual large editions with sensitive html setting. Is there a way to determine how the entries appear in the table of contents?

  I publish major textbooks with sensitive html setting. Is there a way to determine how the entries appear in the table of contents? If I publish a small section of the manual then 2nd level entries appear as eruptions under the chapter name, but if I publish the manual in its entirety then level 2 headings are not at all. I would like them to appear as the eruptions in the table of contents, but I need to publish the manual as a whole in order to keep the cross references. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

  I think that this would make clearer - and it would skip and tables of contents of books under.

• Chapter number on the same line as the title of chapter in the Table of contents

  How can I get the chapter number on the same line as the title of chapter in the automatic table of contents (page layout: Table of contents)? I want to have the number followed by a period, like this: "1. the chapter title" with the page number on the right (no problem with the page number). See the picture of what has gone wrong. I wonder if I put chapter numbers in a separate text box in the document without a paragraph break after the number. I know I can change at the end, but do not want to lose the settings with the updates.

  TOC instructions are confusing, I agree.

  To avoid having a table of contents to fill your cursor when you already have a table of contents, place the text in text tool in the existing table of contents, and then choose layout > Update Table of contents.

• two instances of numbering in Table of contents

  Hello

  Whenever I place OCD I get two instances of numbering (1, 1.1, 1.2. 3.1, 3.2) in my table of contents:

  

  Lee is the "content" section:

  

  Lee is the parameters of the table of contents:

  

  I tried to work with the different style settings to avoid 2 instances of several levels of numbering without result.

  appreciate your help.

  Thank you

  You can use a second, dedicated, style for TOC ads themselves, rather than "same style."  If this style is NOT a numbered list, you can keep the choice of full paragraph for what to include in numbered paragraphs.

• When I linked book FM, I have files in the project files, but no chapter file in Table of contents chapter

  Using RH9 in TC 3/Windows XP

  I've linked to a number of books in this project. A book has all the chapters files well displayed in project files folder in the project manager, but have no books in the table of related materials.  Only topics.  How to fix this problem.  It seems that I deleted all the files in the table of contents before that I can delete the TOC file in the project manager, but is it anyway to regenerate the table of contents?

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  Hi parties,

  You don't want to say that the table of contents are different in RoboHelp compared to FrameMaker TOC, please take a look at this blog http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2010/03/demystifying_mapping_filesettingisf_and_toc_genera tion.html- it might be useful.

  you don't Ned to remove the link from the book of RoboHelp can just make changes in FrameMaker or update and correct path of TOC in RoboHelp and Force the link to update.

  It should make changes in ROboHelp TOC.

  In addition to that you can change the table of contents to RoboHelp after generation according to your need (these changes are going to get is returned on the next update)

  Hope this will help

• 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:

  

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

  

  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.

• Chapter numbers automatic for chapters within a single document

  I just got a question from a reader of my VQS. He wants to know how to "capture" the chapter number and chapter title to my chapters for footers in the document.

  I know how to make a model that is used for every single document that each chapter. These documents are collected in a book. Chapter numbers are set to "Automatic chapter numbering."

  But chapter numbers can only increase if documents are separate files assembled in a book. (At least, I think it's true.)

  But what happens if circulate you a paper with all the chapters within this single file? How to set chapter numbers to change automatically for footers? I suspect that you would need a variable text style paragraph or character as a footer. But how you get chapter numbers advance automatically?

  Would you use the bullets and numbering in the paragraph style?

  I know how to do these. I wonder what people would do for their workflow.

  You're right about the automatic chapter numbers - it's just one per doc.

  I think that I use a separate running header (character style) variable and try to pick up the number in the title of the chapter, if it is there or add a number of non-printing 'tag' on the first page of each chapter, if it is not.

• How to make my table of contents interactive to publish online?

  I have produced a Table of contents for my document in InDesign and checked the box 'Add the page anchor' in the options. But when I export to publish online, the table of contents are not linked to pages in the document.

  Then, I tried to make the page numbers in table of contents converted into hyperlinks leading to page numbers, but that no longer works.

  What I'm missing here? Looks like I should be able to do this easily, but... Thanks for the hints!

  Hi Christy,

  During the generation of the TOC, check "Make text anchor in paragraph Source" in the dialog Table of contents the table of contents clickable links in the document to publish online.

• How can I exclude a level for the table of contents, but this amount as a bookmark?

  I know how to exclude a level for the table of contents (or rather include only levels I want to be included) and also how to create bookmarks from the table of contents entries, but how can I exclude a level for the table of contents, but always include it as a bookmark?

  Make 2 toc styles. One for the entries in the Bookmarks panel, you can generate a table of contents on the side of any page, and you must score in its definition to create bookmarks and other things that you use to build the table of contents for the visible part of your document to print. This should have unchecked the option create a bookmark in its definition.

• Table of contents links keep current zoom level do not zoom to full page

  When Indesign creates tables of contents, they automatically connect the paragraphs, links point to, so that in an interactive PDF, clicks and prods take the user to this page. Large.

  Is what is not so great that hypertext links / references / jump-links / whatever born behind the scenes within the table of contents seem to be:

  1. .. .be is automatically set to reset the zoom to width full page
  2. .. .not be changed somehow

  Normal cross references keep the level of zoom that the user chose and normal hyperlinks that point to a page in the document have a range of settings on this change of zoom level (if any) must be imposed on the user, which can be set to "inherit zoom".

  How can I set up a table of contents bothering users by resetting their chosen artitrary default zoom level when using the interactive table of content?

  I really hope that I don't have a gap table of content feature Indesign and create all the cross-references manually.

  (edited) So it turns out that you can "expand" a table of contents by copying and pasting - it fills the hyperlinks with links that can be edited (as above), but the auto-update breaks - there are a table of contents, they are just one block from text full of links. (I got different copies mixed up when I thought that the framework that the editable links was also-automatic update)

  Aging out of the links is a red herring, just something to do with the fact that they were on a master page.

  This means that a possible OCD workflow is:

  • Create a table of contents on the pasteboard somewhere.
  • Before finalizing the document, to update the table of contents and alt-do drag the table of contents 'live' creates an editable of 'dead' copy in a suitable place in the document
  • Change the properties of the links links in the 'dead' copy (remember that you can select several hyperlinks at once by holding down the SHIFT key and change things like the Zoom all at once with the hyperlink Options setting from the context menu of hyperlinks).

  Then if you make further changes to the document later, remove the copy dead, update and re - copy the live original and redo the changes to the new copy

  This isn't a bad way - it adds just on the work of a minute, each time you export a PDF file (delete and update TOC, alt drag, shift-select the new batch of.) XXXX links at the bottom of the hyperlinks Panel, > hyperlink, Zoom setting Options > Inherit Zoom, actually).

  Otherwise, you may build manually to a table of contents using cross references, if you want the links to the exact position on the page, not just the top of the appropriate page.

• display information in folders root on the table of contents

  RH8 HTML.

  I wonder that if there is a way to define a survey folder in a table of contents to display information, even just a list of subtopics in a main folder of a browser of WEbHelp and air base exit help.

  for example if you look at the help file in RH8, you click on a section of the table of contents at the top level, that is, tables of contents, indexes, glossaries. information appears and indicates what topics are described in this file in the help file.

  I want to do something similar with my help file, even if all the top-level folder, or a subfolder with subtopics just shows nothing until I click on a specific topic.

  hope that's clear, it's hard to explain... but surely a simple solution.

  Thank you.

  Hi Nick

  I'm a bit confused as to exactly what you want to achieve here. I think that is a part of the question, you mix the terms files and TOC levels.

  When you automatically create a TOC RoboHelp certainly looks like the folder structure that exists in your project and creates a book for each file it encounters.

  Perhaps you mean ask how you configure books in your table of contents so that a click from the user, not only do they widen to reveal what are the links to topics within the book, but a topic displays on the right side that lists the explanations and links to what's in the book? If this is what you want, you will need to create a topic for each book. Make sure he read and appear as you wish, then use the 'Book with link' function of the table of contents to associate subjects with books.

  See you soon... Rick

• Several table of contents in the document

  Hello

  I'm new in the FM8. I recently received a document FM8. The structure of the document is:

  Each document file corresponds to a chapter. Each chapter has a table of contents for its secondary headings and paragraphs.

  Table of contents (here is the chapter of 1 to 10, that chapters)

  Is then Chapter 1 includes a table of contents with all subtitles and paragraphs (for example 1.1, 1.1.1 and so on)

  Chapter 2-10 similarly.

  This isn't everything.

  Chapter 7, 8, 9 and 10 are placed in different folders, corresponding with the title of chapters. The rest of them (Chapter 1 to 6) are placed in the same folder.

  For chapters 7, 8, 9 and 10, I managed to update the second table of contents (which contains subtitles and subsections - for example 1.1, 1.1.1 etc..)

  There is in the main folder that contains the rest of the chapters of the files of table of contents for the main Table of contents and the contents of subeahds and paragraohs corresponding to each chapter. Here, I have problems with their updated because when I opened the book and update only the main table of contents will be updated. The problem appears when I create a PDF file. Because after the creation of PDF when I click on a chapter name in the table of contents it will bring me to the chapter I want to but when I click on the table of contents for subtitles/paragraphs that has nothing happened, except for chapters 7, 8, 9 and 10.

  So, to be more explicit.

  When I click on Chapter 7 in format pdf, acrobat will send me to Chapter 7 where I find another OCD where if I click subead 7.3 that he send me to the page that includes the chapter 7.3. On the contrary if I click on Chapter 4 it will bring me to the page corresponding to Chapter 4, but if I click subtitle 4.3 that nothing will happen.

  I will attach an example of this PDF.

  The structure of the file looks like this:

  Chapter 7 the folder:

  -Book

  -The TOC file Chapter 7

  -Chapter 7 (same goes for Chapter 8, 9 and 10)

  The project folder

  -Book (it contains all files from Chapter 1 to 10)

  -File table of contents (the main table of contents)

  -Files table of contents of the chapters

  -files of the chapters

  Thank you. Any help will be appreciated.

  Excuse my poor English writing.

  Yours trully,

• Added a link to an external file in the table of contents

  I would like to be able to have a link in the table of contents in an external file (such as a pdf or doc Excel file) that can reside on the same server as the online help project, without having to add the external file to the project in a baggage file. Basically, I put in the address of the file, just as you would for a URL, but RoboHelp does not allow me to do. I can add a link of this type on a topic page, but I don't see how to do this in the table of contents. The idea is that this file could be maintained outside the project to online help, and the online help will always be a link to the most recent version (without having to update anything in the online help). Someone at - it ideas?
  Thank you!
  Lynn

  Nevermind, I figured it. I just need to add the following at the beginning of the URL address...

  file://

  I also need to remember that there may be no space anywhere in the folder names and file name when the link in the table of contents.
