How to make a table of work contained in a master page?

I'm trying to put a table of contents in a document Indesign (CS6) template, and it doesn't seem to work:

  • If I create a table of contents in a master page by using page layout > Table of contents, after hitting OK, rather than create a table of contents to my place, it is said so 'the table of contents has been updated successfully' has no effect.
  • If I create a table of contents on a normal page then copy or paste, or cut and paste it into the master page, it sticks just as plain text. Page layout > Update table of contents remains Gray, it never updates, and it seems to be not related to any style of Table of contents.

Why the table of contents do not work in master pages? Is there a work around?

...................

Why would I want a table of contents on a master page? There are several cases where we publish a box indicating the structure of the document on multiple pages in a document: usually Etudieeo we expect readers to print, copy, or isolate a section or a set of pages and then share it or use as reference material.

It works well to have a bar showing this section in the context of the whole, so someone see this section alone can see what came before and what comes after. For example, sometimes people are given a page or two of one of our documents to a conversation and then a week or two later they come back to us for more information, having found these pages useful and then noticed that, for example, the section that came before we gave them is also relevant.

It's another OCD in the file? If so, is - that uncheck you the box replace the TOC?

I'm not having a problem here put a table of contents on a master page and have it update.

  • How to make the plugin that works in the background?

    Hi, I need to make the plugin working in parallel in the background thread. It should start when Photoshop starts and stops when closing Photoshop. I think that the plugin type should I choose is "Automation" but these plugins are executed only when the user calls the plugin in the menu. How to make the plugin that runs when photoshop works without the need to invoke it manually? I don't want this plugin to be visible in any menu. This plugin is designed to work with the extension of the CEP.

    I ended up making invisible CEP extension that performs background tasks in the timer event handler:

  • 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!

  • How to make a table with ActiveX Excel using Excel_RangeSetValue2?

    Hello

    I want to make a table in Excel. For this, I use two functions: Excel_WorksheetGetRange and Excel_RangeSetValue2.

    I write the table on Excel file, but only the first instance of the table is copied.

    Here, a part of my program:

    char * DataToWrite = {"A", "B", "C", "D"}

    cCell Char [10];
    VARIANT vCell, data;

    ExcelObj_Worksheet hWorksheet;

    ExcelObj_Range hRange;

    ...

    CA_VariantSetCString (& vCell, cCell);        cCell = a1: a4
    Excel_WorksheetGetRange (hWorksheet, NULL, vCell, CA_DEFAULT_VAL, & hRange);
    CA_VariantSetCString (& Data, DataToWrite);
    Excel_RangeSetValue2 (hRange, NULL), data;

    Here what I get when I'm compiling on Excel file:

    A

    A

    A

    A

    You must use the other instructions to complete the range of cells:

    strcpy (msg, "A1: a4");
    CA_VariantSetCString (& MyVariant, msg);
    Excel_WorksheetRange (ExcelWorksheetHandle, NULL, MyVariant, CA_DEFAULT_VAL, & ExcelRangeHandle);
    Excel_RangeActivate (ExcelRangeHandle, NULL, NULL);

    Create a SafeArray of data table
    CA_VariantSet2DArray (& MyVariant, CAVT_CSTRING, lines, 1 table);
    Transfer data to Excel range
    Excel_SetProperty (ExcelRangeHandle, NULL, Excel_RangeValue2, CAVT_VARIANT, MyVariant);

    ClearObjHandle (ExcelRangeHandle);

For example the ~ (home) ~ button goes to the search page. And I reallllllly won't change each page if I have to. How can I make the 'House' image always link to the home page for any page that is under the site?

  • How to avoid the table headers to be split across several pages?

    Hello

    I use BI Publisher 11.1.1.7 and I have reports that use tables, and they are spread over several pages. I wouldn't mind if the table is split into two half but sometimes on the headers. This is a table header is a line, but several lines on it and a part of the header would be in one page and one on the next page. Is it possible to apply that a table should be in a page without breaking it up?

  • How do the text field of the script on a master page to show a total of retail

    I'm trying to become familiar with LiveCycle Designer and need to know how to have the fields on the master page to reflect the detail for each page totals, then a master total at the end. It's for printing only output so I guess that the script should run on the server, because I saw this option.

    Another question: where can I find documentation for this so I can read other things myself? I have difficulties to find a path to what I need on the Web site. Thank you

    It can be done, but it implies some level of script. I was going to create a sample for you but thought that it would be easier to your screen. If you provide I'll put something together for you. Make sure you incode I can work with a data file.

  • How to make a sum of working capital for a 12 month calendar look back?

    I have a table with dates and values for each date. I would like to create a total working capital which looks backward from today and give me a total for the past 12/24 months. Is there a feature that will allow me to do this? Thank you!

    Hello

    You could do something like that.

    Version A: = SUMIFS (B, $A, "> =" & EOMONTH(A1,0) (TODAY (), −12) will GET)

    Version b: = SUMIFS (B, $A, "> =" & EOMONTH(A1,0) will GET (TODAY (), 13))

    Version C: = SUMIFS (B, $A, "> =" & EOMONTH(A1,0) will GET (today (), 13) ', ')<>

    A version assumes that you do not want to include values for the current month (part-time).

    Version B "was one more month" so you include the current month.

    Version C would be appropriate if you have future dates in your column too and must exclude those.

    To come back two years you would have-24 or - 25 in formulas.

    More on today, SUMIFS and EOMONTH(A1,0) will GET here, here and here.

    My 39:41 lines are defined as lines of footer to make it easy to enter formulas.  Formulas, of course, could be in a separate table.
