• Why does my merged project display 2 table of contents for the first project/start?

  I use RH8 and windows 7 and generate Webhelp

  When I generate my merged project I get 2 table of contents of the first project. When I click on other merged projects disappears from the table of contents 2^nd and all is well.

  Also, I can't return to my first / start window.

  Here is what I created:

  Main folder

  Parent

  Children

  Project 1 (this is my start/welcome page)

  Project 2

  Project 3

  Project 4

  My Parent file in the table of contents contains new projects and looks like this:

  Project 1

  Project 2

  Project 3

  Project 4

  The only section in the parent file is empty and I put in the following redirection according to the instructions on the site grainge:

  "< meta http-equiv ="refresh"content="0;url=./mergedprojects/project1/project1.htm "/ >

  How stop the TOC 2 on the first page of the project start and how do I display so I can access it later.

  Any help is appreciated.

  The start page is not a topic. This is what opens the three components and the topic you see in that is the default theme.

  By default, HR takes the name of your project and which initially applies the page so if your project is called redrabbit, the start page will be redrabbit.htm.

  Many authors can call the redrabbit of the theme by default as it is the name of the project and it seems logical.

  Problem is when the wizard attempts to use it as the default value for the start page, the name is used for the number 1 is added.

  This means that you end up with redrabbit and redrabbit1. If you look in the wizard, you will see the name of the start page, first on the ground. You do not redirect, that redirect you to the default topic that is longer than down in the page of the wizard. The index is that the field is called the default theme.

• removal of table of contents and the interface on dps app

  Hello

  my project is to make an application using the digital publishing suite,

  When each page is a sequence of jpeg auto playing and loops ,

  keeps looping until striking to swipe to the next page and so on.

  I don't want to have to the table of contents or interface options.

  I want it to look in a digital book when the only option is to turn the page back.

  don't you think it's possible?

  thanx

  Yes, there is a solution that will allow you to avoid show nav bars. You create a slideshow full invisible screen on all pages that are selected by scanning and tap. In this way, when the user clicks anywhere on the page, it interacts with the slide show but seems to have no effect on the user. You must add on the top of the slide show navigation buttons so that users can access other items.

• problems with the table of contents and index

  I do the localization for the Japan, so I'm all nice and good in Japanese (themes, table of contents and index), however, after compilation, only the TOC and India are in a font that does not support Japanese characters.
  Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem?
  Thank you

  Thank you Pete, it's part of the solution.
  In fact, what I discovered on a German forum for RoboHelp, is to set the machine to the locale for the country, and the location is made. I installed the language support pack before my problem and so I was able I was translating into topics. The problem appeared when I tried my first compilation. The subjects were still in Japanese, that I translated, but the table of contents and the index and were the only ones who wrote in a totally unknown style (not Japanese English and not another language, I know).
  Now that I've changed the location of my system, it works.
  So, I think that this should be a first improvement for RoboHelp, right? They boast that they support 35 languages, however the support isn't quite... finish, huh?
  Furthermore, the error message continues to come even after all these changes, but I don't like too much about this, I get what I need.
  Thanks again Pete for the solution and the quick response.

• 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,

• Table of contents and indexes appears in live Webhelp

  I work in a HR 10 draft updated from RH 9 project. During the generation of Webhelp, local output displays fine, but once compiled and download our online application, the table of contents and Index are not displayed - what I mean is that the tabs exist, you can click on them, but they are empty. Research works, as well as the header logo does not appear, although it is in the images folder that is downloaded.

  More details:

  • I view the project in an external file in the root folder of the project. To clarify, the project is in a folder named "Help", and the output is in a separate folder named '9.1 help' to the same level of the help file. When I provided the output, I only provide the folder «9.1 help» Could it be the cause of the problem?
  • After reviewing similar issues, I find that the HCC project file does not exist in my .hhk file, nor the .glo, exit, etc. I suspect that this could be the problem. However, insofar as I understand it, it is not possible for the final .htm file for the project in the same folder that contains these output files. You must publish in a different output outside the root path folder.
  • I tried to change the default table of contents and the Index under Webhelp settings > Categories > content of default in the table of contents specific to my project (this is the only table of contents and Index, so it shouldn't cause mistaked, but I don't know if this change means something).

  I would be happy to provide any other details if necessary.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Just a parenthesis. The mark of the Web option will only apply when view you the contents of your local hard disk and that you use Microsoft Internet Explorer as browser. If you download this content to a server, the option may as well not exist. So it won't matter if it is enabled or not and would have no impact on this situation.

  Change the option of DHTML shouldn't really affect it either.

  @Colum - package_xx.html files are certainly part of the production of RoboHelp. After you generate WebHelp, you should see them in the whxdata folder.

  I think we've established that files display fine immediately after generating it, no? So, which suggests that the issue is entirely in the hands of perforce and that the development team. (or, more accurately, NOT to do)

  See you soon... Rick

• Projects merged not appearing is not in the table of the contents of WebHelp

  By following the instructions on the site Grainge, I created a project merged with the following folder structure:'
  
  BAM\parent-> location of the parent project
  BAM\Child\Project1-> location of the child
  BAM\Child\Project2-> location of the child
  BAM\Child\Project3-> location of the child
  
  I added the metatag redirecting the first topic in the project relative to the default theme in Project1.
  
  When I generated the output:
  
  I received a nested together images of navigation as well as the IE error msg say it blocked the execution of ActiveX content.
  
  The correct TOC books, one for each project, did see as part of external navigation. However, once I clicked to allow content to run, the table of contents would disappear. When I went to IE tools, Options and select to allow ActiveX run from the hard disk, the error stop appearing, but the TOC has disappeared entirely.
  
  I had the extra set of frames of nav to disappear by disabling the nav option in Project1 and when I built it.
  
  Thanks for the tips.
  
  
  
  
  
  

  OK, my bad. The parent project is striking TOCs, I defined in the child projects.

  What confused me was the first time that I have generated the parent project and the child projects, but before I had defined the Mall anywhere (in the parent or child, except of course for the project merged into the parent TOC entries), I saw, for a fraction of a second, in short a book displays for each * collects I know not what it was , but I thought it was by design.

  PS I've used the article on your site grainge as my main source of information.

• How hide the table of contents in the body of an e-book?

  Hey people, I'm kind of a weird request. Do not forget that everything I know about InDesign, I taught myself for a month, so I can miss major somethng.

  As an intern, I am creating ebooks and I have to make sure that those I create the same look as the ebooks previously created for my employer (better yet, I had to do it from scratch!). In their previous ebooks (EPUB file format) the table of contents posted by the ereader clearly indicates a specific style of OCD was used to create (he titles and subtitles, so it is not just the default style that draws from the file names), BUT there is NO table of contents anywhere in the body of the ebook itself. There is also no blank page where a table of contents can be hidden with a hidden layer.

  I created a table of contents to match style to them, but I can't it appears in the drop-down menu Styles TOC when I go to export EPUB book file unless the document of the table of contents is also included in the book file, and as I said, I can't get the table of contents in the body of the ebook itself just in the menu that is displayed by an ereader.

  Any advice?

  Did you use dialogue style of content Table to create a new style of table of contents? If so, then the new table of contents style must appear in the drop-down list TOC Style selected in the dialog box in the Navigation options to export EPUB.

  Kind regards

• 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.

• Table of contents for the issue of the ePub

  InDesign CS5; Mac OS 10.6.5

  When I export my TOC document to ePub, do not show the table of contents, only the last two pages with text and an image.

  The table of contents defined paragraph styles. I think I have my correct export settings.

  Help to isolate this problem is appreciated.

  Note: Display of other documents in the book via ePub export display correctly, although the book must refine to ePub format.

  Also, when I tried to export the entire book through the book panel, InDesign starts export, but no activity in the progress bar. I have to force quit to get out of the endless loop. Then when I restart InDesign, Untitled files begin to open, 10, 20 and so on. So, I have to manually close each file.

  I suspect that OCD is causing this issue.

  Yes, that's correct. Once I've re-recorded old files "CS" in the new version, including the file book. Everything worked well.

  And I don't mean just making a backup (thinking that will result in savings in the current version) I want to talk about a backup - as in another folder in a different location... ie you Office

• Table of contents in the pdf documentation

  Hi people,
  It's me again, hehe.
  I tried to make a printed pdf documentation for an already existing RoboHelp project, and points to the table of contents are totally weird. Odd in what sense? I have the major points of the content mentioned briefly, or not at all, but they are in the normal TOC, however the 'License agreement' subject is detailed point by point, and I have no need that.
  My question is, does anyone know where the content of the table of contents in the printed PDF documentation could be configured?
  Everything works now nice and dandy outside this little thing, and I would like to have straightened out.
  Thanks guys,.
  Bogdan

  That's what I thought too, but every time that I was trying to make the documentation in pdf format, I received a short table of contents with too much insistence on the license agreement, which I do not remember asking.
  I tried to find where I could control that, and I've not found anything, I posted this topic in the forum while waiting for someone to give me some advice.
  As I was still experimenting more, I thought about the .doc where I can easily change the table of contents as I have Office installed on my system.
  As I was trying that, I forgot to remove the check mark from 'create pdf' and I got both the doc and pdf documentation. To my surprise I discovered that two documents, being identical to the content, more in the table of contents that my previous pdf was, showed well I don't change anything in the settings, because I have not found anything to change.
  So I opted for the creation of the doc, edit the table of contents (it still has too much emphasis on the license agreement, but I have enough focus on other subjects now) and export to PDF doc.
  It's the whole story.

• Table of contents: linking the titles and page numbers

  Hi all

  In my paper, I created a table of contents.

  Like most books, I want to link titles and paragraphs to their pages by a dotted or dashed, just like that:

  Title - P2

  subtitle - P3

  etc...

  I also use these links in checklists to connect the left side of the list to the right side.

  And this isn't something wrong: this faclity Visual really helps you recognize what's on poles on the right with the correct item on the left.

  Is there a way or a function in Pages to automatically create these links instead of typing for each item in the Table of contents (which can be very long, little time)?

  Thanks for your time.

  Lopez.

  With your table of contents is generated, click each item in the table of contents (for example, title, subtitle, title 1, etc.) so that it appears highlighted. Your right in v5.6.2 Pages panel will show the Table of contents and a text label.

  Further down in the text tab, there will be an area of tabs. If it is not expanded, click the word ▸ tabs. Click any selector in the column Leader and the choice of your choice for your boss to fill. There is no provision to set a color of head. Here is an example:

  

• Bars, tables of contents and ramifications

  I create my first module branching Captivate 8 and I have a few questions...

  1. Is it possible to have separate tables of contents for each branch?
  2. Is there a way to disable the reading and TOC bar on some pages only?

  Thanks in advance.

  
  Michael

  If you want a separate table of contents, you will need to create it yourself, which is not possible with the normal TOC of Captivate. You can hide slides in the TOC, you can group slides and even build on several levels, but that's all.

  Yes, you can lock the table of contents, there is already a variable system that you think still has the command Lock table of contents in the list. It is not possible to lock or disable the PlayBar, you can hide it on some slides. Use the event to enter the slide, both for the blocking of OCD or hide PlayBar... You can also hide the table of contents if you want, but this is only possible if the table of contents are overlaid.

• Add text to the table of contents or the skin

  Hello

  I want to add text to the table of contents that shows all the time (is not clickable).  Is it possible to display some text of infomration on the bar of navigation/table of contents?

  Or is it possible to add it to a skin it will appear at the bottom of the screen?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Hi Julie,.

  You can try the project--> TOC--> Info it will open a dialog box where you can enter information about your organization, as well as a logo.

  In addition, if you wish, you can change a TOC and their default legend items.

  To do this, close Captivate.

  Open Notepad-

  Paste below-

  [TOCStrings]

  SlideTitle = Module name

  Time = time

  Status = status

  MoreInfo = my info

  Clear = Wipe

  ClearToolTip = State of Wipe

  BookMarkToolTip = book-marking

  NoSearch = String not found

  CurrTime = what

  ---------------------------------------

  Save it as TOCStrings.ini

  and place this file in the location of the Adobe Captivate installation on your machine.

  Now launch and add a table of contents to the Porject and preview or publish and see the change.

  Thank you

• 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).
