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.

  • 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$1

    What 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.)

  • CS6 - assign a different page for the table of contents start on

    I have a table of contents in a document ID CS6 page current 1 TOC starts on the actual coverage. I want to do the introduction and about me listed as names of page not page 1 or 2. I want to page 1 or 2 to start on what is now page 6. I know that there is a tute for any of this help?

    RD

    Select the 6 page in the Pages panel, right-click and choose numbering and Section Options.

    Start a new section and then change the 1 bib, say OK. ID complain of duplicate page numbers, so do the same for the first page of the document, but this time change the numbering style. It is a tradition to use lowercase Roman numerals for the preliminary pages.

  • text too close to page number in the table of contents

    Most of the time I can take care of unattractive line breaks in the table of contents by putting in the nonbreaking spaces in a paragraph.

    However, sometimes I have a situation where a table of contents entry text is too close to the page number right. The text is so close to the page number as in some not case of presentation of points of the leader, or show only one or two points of leader.

    Writing and its adjustment page number on one line, then putting in the nonbreaking spaces won't solve the problem. I could put in a soft return (SHIFT-ENTER) in the table of contents entry to force a line break, but it is not effective because I have to put in the soft return manually every time the table of contents are updated.

    If someone has a tip on how to effectively manage this problem, I would like to know about it.

    Jay,

    Some time ago, someone posted a solution to make the line nice breaks in the index entries. It's setting values of the minimum and maximum word spacing in the paragraph Designer. The values validated it did not worked for me, so I played a little with it and use the following syntax:

    In the paragraph format for table of contents entry, set the maximum word spacing of 325% and oral minimum spacing to 275% and the optimal spacing to 100%. Note the fact that the optimum is NOT between the minimum and maximum values. I don't know the algorithm that Frame uses to decide where the line break, but I'm guessing he first decides to break the line to fill the max and min requires, breaks the line, but changes the spacing back 100%, which is what you want then, in other words, we don't want large spaces.

    The causes of values above a line break about an inch or two to the right margin. If you want to close, try 225 percent and 175 percent. I found that over these two issues of line breaks occur further from the right margin.

    This method does not have to enter the manual line breaks and gives a nice line break, even for those rows that could fit on a single line.

    Good luck

  • Page numbering and the Table of contents

    I have a book containing 23 document files. Document files contain the page numbers in the footer.

    One of the document file is a generated table of contents (TOC). Unfortunately, the generated page

    the number in the table of contents do not match the numbering of the pages in the files. Here are the details:

    • The title page, in a file by itself, is not numbered
    • The frontmatter, distributed in five cases use lowercase Roman (i - xvi)
    • The body of the text in the remaining 17 files is digital (1-243)
    • The generated TOC uses cardinal numbers of the book as a whole. For example,.
      Chapter I is numbered correctly in the footer from page 1. However, he is listed in the table of contents
      as starting on page 19, because this is the file real 19th in the book. I put the document numbering
      This file from 1 properties and properties of Page numbering for the book as a whole to
      be "continue."
    • The style of the table of contents entries is correct. In other words, the frontmatter uses a tiny Roman and the
      chapters use Numeric

    I tried to regenerate the table of contents, but this did not help.

    Does anyone have suggestions on what is the way prescribed to do?

    OK, I continued to read and this is what I found:

    Set the numbering style in the document, and not in the book that we told you. Format > Document > numbering. Choose Arabic or digital. Repeat for the various chapters.

    Save and close the chapters. In the book file, click with the right button on each chapter and choose Configure XXX. This is where tell you the book to continue the page numbering or restart at the 1.

    Once this is done, update your address. From there, if there are issues, we rely on the logic of the Fm we use every day, and each of us can help you solve.

  • FM10 cannot generate the table of contents with main points

    Hello world

    I already assured that the reference for all my image in my book files have the same reference table of contents of the page entry page. When I generate my OCD the main points are missing!

    I then, open the reference page for the TOC file and paste in the same entries of table of contents of my other image files and then update the book to regenerate the table of contents.

    Also, this does not solve the problem.

  • How we can print the page numbers for the shape of the TABLE OF CONTENTS when her excluded from the form page count?

    Hi Experts,

    We have the TABLE OF CONTENTS, followed by 100 forms totally 215 pages.

    We checked in the exclusion of the option of number of form page SUMMARY form at the level of the group.

    Followed forms of TABLE OF CONTENTS forms all use FORMSETPAGENUM rule at the bottom of page.

    the first form followed by TABLE OF CONTENTS form the number starts page 1 of 215 and the last form closes at 215 215.

    Now, I want to print the Page number of SUMMARY form only.

    How can do us?  Any thoughts?

    Kind regards

    RAMAN C

    Hello Raman,

    I guess that you included "Exclude the number of pages" option in the form of table of content (TOC).

    There is a limitation in the studio. The functions of page number (PAGE NUM OF FORM / FORMSET PAGE OF NUM) will be ineffective when we choose the option "Exclude the number of pages" in the form of table of contents. Therefore, you was not able to print many pages of form as a table of contents.

    The only way to print the number of pages is to deselect the option "exclude the number of pages. Then you can print the number of pages in the table of contents in the form of table of contents normally. However, this number of pages in the table of contents will add to the Total number of pages form set. The number of pages all forms can be controlled by Postransdal using the script [FORMSET PAGE NUM = TotalPages() - 1]

    Kind regards

  • Problems during the update of the table of contents

    Hello

    does anyone know why additional section numbers and points appear every time I update my OCD? Normally I just delete them.

    Thank you!

    Try to remove the numbering of paragraph TOC style options. I am sure that what is happening is to make a numbered list on the table of contents entries AND pick up the existing numbers in the text.

  • Conditional User Defined Variable in the table of contents to RH10

    Hello

    I have a unique project created with tags of conditional compilation for a product in several countries. The name of the company was the same in all three countries, but now the name of the company in a country is about to change. I created UDVs with conditional compilation of tags to apply the appropriate name when aid is produced (Yay for RoboHelp 10 for allowing this).

    There are 58 topics in the table of contents that include the name of the company in the title of the topic. My problem is, if I include the UDV to the title of a page in the table of contents, conditional text is ignored.

    I guess that's because the table of contents allowing in conditional constructions apply to the page or the book itself and no text in the name of the page or the book.

    Please can someone confirm that this is the case? If so, I'll make a suggestion to Adobe.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I hope that Willam won't mind my expand a little on the issue.

    I note that you already seemed to be aware that the UDVs are possible in the text of the table of contents. And if I understand correctly, your problem here is that you want to condition the UDV in the table of contents, right?

    Certainly a way to do that would be to have two different TOC entries. And apply tags to each, so that one or the other would be excluded. But to be honest, I always avoided tagging the elements of the table of contents that I saw myself mixed results.

    The thought here for me is that I wonder why you feel the need to apply a condition to a variable? Why not use a different version of the variable? Of course, you create variables and insert them, but you can actually create different sets of variables that have different values, then when you create your output you simply choose the Variable you want to use.

  • Script errors in the table of contents in RoboHelp 9

    Hello, all. I can usually find the solution to my problem by searching for existing threads, but I can't seem to find a solution this time. I recently upgraded to RoboHelp 7 to 9.0.2.271. I published WebHelp locally and checked the files in to a Team Foundation Server to be deployed in a test environment. Locally and on the QA site, the output seems fine for me and the table of contents works as expected. However, other users on Internet Explorer 7 and 8 (I have IE8) are getting script errors when you try to click on the pages of the table of contents.

    I compressed my files the and dropped on a shared and player asked a user to copy on his machine and open the start with his browser page. He always gets the script errors, while another user can open locally without any problem. This makes me think that the problem is not in RoboHelp files themselves, but I'm not sure.

    To further complicate things, in this environment, another server of QA, the table of contents and Index are empty! This is obviously a separate issue, but I'm stumped. This problem occurs in IE 6, 7 and 8. It does NOT occur in Firefox or IE 9.

    Any ideas?

    This problem has been resolved with a response from another discussion:

    Re: RH8 > WebHelp > TOC will not be rendered in IE8 via HTTPS - Fix/workaround solution?

    If the table of contents/Index/Search does not work in IE7/8/9 via HTTPS, try the following steps

    1. Go to https://acrobat.com/#d=WqbdTq-2R79ToU08-zfBEw
    2. Download the IESearchIssue.zip file. Unzip it.
    3. It will create an IESearchIssue folder. It has two subfolders
      1. RH8.0.2
      2. RH9.0
    4. If you use RoboHelp 8.0.2, go to the folder RH8.0.2.
    5. If you use RoboHelp 9.0, navigate to the folder RH9.0
    6. Navigate to the \RoboHTML\WebHelp5Ext\template_stock folder and rename the file whutils.js in whutils.js.bak
    7. Now, paste the new whutils.js already copied into the same folder.
    8. Now again generate webhelp output the required project.
    9. Host it on your server and check if it works.
  • 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.

  • A link to a bookmark in the table of contents?

    I couldn't find this anywhere in help. The only time where it says link a bookmark to a table of contents was if you have used the feature of automatic creation of your table of contents.

    I think I figured out how do it, but wanted to run it by the forum to see if this is right.

    This is how it is done?

    1. Add a new page to the table of contents.
      1. Enter a title.
      2. The file name, choose the topic that contains the bookmark.
      3. Click OK to save. Your page should appear in the table of contents.
    2. Right-click on the page, table of contents, that you just created. The Table of Contents Page Properties window opens.
    3. At the bottom of the page, where it says "link to", add # and the name of the bookmark at the end.

    For example, if your subject appears in the form Entering_a_New_Customer.htm and the bookmark is called address, you would add #address the end of the filename. Gives you a link to Entering_a_New_Customer.htm #address

    Is there another way to do it? In this way requires two steps and requires that you know the name of the bookmark; You can't navigate to it.

    Hello

    It should be simpler than that.

  • 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.
