Page numbering and the Table of contents

Similar Questions

• Has anyone who has worked with doc us MIL - STD and generated with the success of the page numbers in the table of contents?

  I'm creating a template using FrameMaker 7.2.

  MIL - STD dictates works package (such as chapters) page numbers in the format: 0001-1, 2-0001, 0002-1 and 2-0002, etc.

  The problem I encounter draws in this format of the page number in the table of contents generated.

  I used a variable on the Master Page, and generate page numbers in each package to work properly.

  I know that in point 7.2 of the FM, you cannot include a variable in a table of contents generated.

  So I tried changing the variable on the Master Page to text using a paragraph tag (WPnumber), but have not gotten it either works.

  Tried all the other stuff I could think of, too.

  In my view, a part of the problem is that FM cannot have leading zeros when you set the page number or chapter (understandable 99.9% of the time).

  If anyone has suggestions or solutions, I am very interested to hear.

  Thank you.

  I already manually put the zeros.

  I just want to be clear that strikes the zeros directly on the master page does NOT have to include in the table of contents. You then type in the context of the reference to the table of contents also. In addition, you must have separate template and reference pages for chapters 10, 11, etc., in order to obtain the number of zeros correctly.

  With my method, the zeros are introduced as part of the chapternumber itself, in the chapter number of the TEXT. You still have to type but only once for each file.

• How to upgrade only the page numbers from a table of contents in Indesign CS6?

  Hello!

  Help, please! I make a medical book with more then 1300 pages and about 40 different table of contents.

  I want to update only the page numbers on all the table of contents. But I don't see the option to update the table of contents.

  I've seen on other forums that it is a very old and familiar problem. Do you have Adobe already fixed it?

  Nothing has changed with the function table of contents. If you update a table of contents using the standard method of the table of contents, the complete table of contents are updated.

  You can get the page numbers only updates manually by creating your table of contents by using cross-references.

• I can't get the page numbers in my table of contents to update when I update the book.

  
  I use Framemaker 11 and I have two tables of contents in my book: one in English and French. Each table of contents to links to various documents in the same book. The reference page for each table of contents is defined and properly displays the positions 1 and 2, I said that it appears, but numbers not updated when the contents of my document files change to another page. I checked the settings of conditional text in my document files; they are correct. When I update the book, I choose to update the numbers, all the cross-references, all text inserts, OLE links, generate a Table of contents, lists, and indexes. What I am doing wrong? Thank you.

  If they are not knocked down, then they are certainly not generated files. See the example in the help of FM11: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/11.0/Using/images/bk_hier_books.png

  The 'K' is a TOC file that FM recognizes a generated file.

  Because you have created your table of the contents of the French with the help of another structure of the book, you could import reference this TOC file in another file of FM (for example to create an inset text) in the main book you want. However, you need to make updates in two steps. First update the French book to revise the table of contents. Then update the main book to get the rest of the correct pages (and given that the table of french contents are imported by reference, FM always uses the most recent version).

• 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

• Where are my Pages, numbers, and the apps to iMovie?

  I had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall OS Sierra due to computer problems. When I did my apps in Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and iMovie were missing. How can I get back them?

  Log in to the Mac App Store with Apple ID with which they are associated, click the purchases tab and redownload them.

  If they were deleted without being associated with an Apple ID, click here , or contact Apple.

  If they are associated with another Apple ID, you can contact Apple as above, but it can be said to buy.

  First of all, thank you all so much for the display of the answers.  This forum is wonderful.

  I have a doc that needs to have chapter numbers appear with the page numbers in the table of contents.

  I insert the < $chapnum > and < $currentpagenum > in the footer and I get 1-1 appears.

  To include 1-1 in the table of contents, do I have to edit the referring Page, or is there another way.

• Minimizing the differences between the print document page numbers and page numbers fixed ePub format

  Hi all!

  I'm currently involved in a project of ePub format fixed relatively simple. I almost completely finished with the file, but I see for export, only the page numbers in the table of contents for navigation begin numbering at a point different than the print document.

  I certainly don't expect the software ideally know exactly where I want the numbering to start, but I was wondering: is there a way to change the starting point of the navigation table of contents so that I can select the starting point? Here's a screenshot of the situation I describe, taken on my iPad mini using iBooks. A fix for InDesign would be useful, I am very willing to modify the code. Please let me know what additional information can help.

  Thank you very much

  Jacob

  

  I don't have a good answer for you on that I've been unable to get this works as is suspected.

  The next update will include support for a list of the fixed layout pages and to my surprise that it was unsuccessful in the evolution of the Navigation table of contents page (right) numeric values that you see.

  Those who seem to come from literally the index of the XHTML file where is the target of the table of contents. If iBooks is unable to find the target it displays the entry under '... ».

  Where the list of pages seems to make a difference on the iOS7/iBooks, is when you're scouring the pages in display mode page it will display the value of the entry in the list of pages... which is now generated from the string of InDesign page number in a gray oval.

  Maybe this has changed to iOS8/iBooks or perhaps other readers it manage differently - I never had the chance to try it on other players.

• Pages is wrapping the row number in the table of contents

  So, I have a document with two paragraph styles I want to include in the table of contents.  A style with page numbers and the other without.  So I insert a table of contents (it's in its own section, because I want the table of contents to be their own style page numbers) and I get the table of contents, but instead of text that is labeled with the style of the paragraph to the left and right page numbers, I get the text containing the tag with the style of the paragraph to the left and then click the line below (no paragraph don't symbols even if it's on the next line) a blue arrow pointing to the right in the middle of the table of contents box, then on the next line (once more no paragraph symbol), to the left I get the page number.

  Anyone know what is happening or how to get the right page number on the same line as the text?

  Thank you

  Something that I did not mention what may be important - paragraph styles are two styles of personalized paragraph that I created for this document.

• Paragraph numbering does not appear in the table of contents

  I'm working on a book with several chapters. Within each chapter, I have heading styles that use autodial (position 1 watch 1.1, 1.2, etc.;) Heading 2 is 1.1.1 1.1.2 etc. ; Heading 3 is 1.1.1.1, 1.1.1.2, etc.). These figures show in chapters, but I can't to the appear in the generated table of contents. I tried to add < $chapnum >. < $sectionnum >. < $subsectionnum > to reference the table of contents page, but that only seems to show the chapter TOC number, rather than the chapter title is actually in. I tried auto numbering in the table of contents, but that no longer works. Is it possible to show the numbering of the chapters in the TOC?

  This is what it looks like now:

  Workshop 3: Adding redundancy in a component

  Purpose ........................................... 7 - 1

  Functional objectives... 7 - 1

  Setup .............................................. 7 - 1

  Code files for this workshop... 7 - 2

  This is how I want it to look:

  Workshop 3: Adding redundancy in a component

  7.2 business objectives... 7 - 1

  7.3 Setup .............................................. 7 - 1

  7.4 code files of for this workshop... 7 - 2

  If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it!

  Thank you!

  I tried to add <$chapnum>.<$sectionnum>. <$subsectionnum>to the reference TOC page,...

  You do that on reference Page Table of contents of the YourDocNameTOC.fm file,

  or in the body file?

  I just tried:

  for a title 1 with auto-numbering format from:

  <$chapnum>. \t

  and a Heading1TOC format of:

  <$paranum>. <$paratext> <$pagenum>

  on the TOC TOC RP.

  It generated a table of contents entry of:

  2.1 title text 13

  for sample 1st section on page 13 of the file declared Chap 2 and start the p13.

  I didn't even have to add <$chapnum>.

• Include graphs of the icon in the table of contents (TOC)?

  Question

  Is it possible to have icons (i.e. frameworks anchored inline) automatically appear in the table of contents?

  (We translate into 15 languages, so manually add graphics to the table of contents, after its creation isn't really a viable option).
  

  Scenario of

  In our books, we include a troubleshooting section explaining her mean different icons of warning symbol. (Kind of like engine lights check various you see in cars). It would be nice to show the actual icons in the table of contents, do I hope this a little easier to find info.

  
  

  We do not include the icons in actual positions in the book using anchored frames "Shrink Wrap", but each anchored picture is replaced with a space in the auto-generated table of contents. (This is what we want in most cases, just not this particular case).

  If you are ready to have a paragraph format separate for each variation of the icon, you may be able to use the image above each corresponding to xxxTOC tag property to its icon, using negative space Frame - over hack Arnis described lately to:

  The numbered steps circled are possible?

  This will pollute the paragraph of course catalog.

  I'm rather tempted to use a rendering of the font tool to convert your icons of character glyphs in Unicode E000-F8FF private use area *. Then, the icons are just text introduced in each topic. Note: in a position of switching character Formats breaks automatic hypertext in the table of contents. See:
  Color of the page number in the table of contents

  The problem of termination of the link could be avoided by using a Unicode open license text font which is similar to your favorite title font and adding glyphs to icon for private use. Then there is no change of character format in the relevant TOC entries. Of course, turning your icons in glyph police presume you have vector art for them which is easily converted to outlines, otherwise it will be a great effort.

• InDesign CS5 - customizing the table of contents

  Hello

  I have a book of 200 pages that uses x 3 table of contents for different purposes. All the works that I expect.

  However, one of my OCD contains a list of advertisers that lists the name of the advertiser and is the relative page number.

  Apart from the text main pages are ads that appear on the IFC, the IBC and the OBC in the book.

  I have the cover pages set up as OBC/column spinal/OFC and IFC/column spinal/IBC with personalized and prefixes section page sizes.

  Is there any way to prevent the table of contents to generate number page after prefix in these cases, I guess that the pages are auto numbered to the table of contents feature?

  Announcer 1... IBC6

  Advertiser 2... .. OBC1

  Advertiser 3... IFC4

  Steve

  I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, but I think you are saying that you want the section prefix, but not page numbers, for ads. As far as I know, you cannot automate the removal of the numbers, but there is nothing prevents you to change the table of contents to remove them manually (or with find/replace using GREP) after the table of contents was generated.

• In the table of content design

  Can anyone help please?

  I have a problem with the creation of table of contents and change the order of the paragraph styles. For example, in the document, I have the title and the author defined as style. I want the author to come first, followed by the title with a page number in the table of contents. I get almost work, but page numbers are disabled.

  Thank you

  In the table of contents, you have two options for the order, pages or alphabetical order. If you use the command page, ID goes to the things on the list in the order that he finds them on the page, and he starts the search in the upper left corner and works down before moving to the right.

  You may be able to solve your problem ensuring that the name of the author is in a framework that extends to the left that part of the chapter title. A screenshot of the page in question would be a big help, with the contours of the block and the display invisible characters. Use the camera icon on the edit page of the Web site to integrate the image.

• Topics by opening the first occurrence in the table of contents

  Background: I created HTML5 Responsive help using HR 2015 for a web application. I organized the Hep role, then pages with these roles, users can access, and then by the tasks users can perform on this page. In many cases, a subject is listed under multiple roles and reuse and efficiency, I just dragged the same theme in the list of the topic in the table of contents as appropriate.

  I also used the text conditionalized on table of contents by role level. Using the example below, I have conditions for physician, nurse, and Patient, but I don't think that this is part of the issue well. Conditionalized roles were created for filtering purposes.

  Question: I have the overview topics that include hyperlinks to headings in red in the example below for each role. When a user clicks the hyperlink in this topic of presentation, he brings them to the FIRST occurrence of this topic in the table of contents, not the link that is associated with their role. When a user with the role of the Patient is in the topic view of their role and click the hyperlink 'Research for patients', help opens on this subject, but the "Searching for patients" in the topic role of physician in the table of contents on the left is highlighted.  Not a show-stopper, but it is confusing for users.

  Also, we had originally planned to use the filter feature to filter role help topics. When I filter to view only a specific role (nurse) and do the steps above, by clicking on the Preview 'Search for patients' hyperlink opens but there is no highlighting in the table of contents because this first occurrence is hidden in all the subjects physician.

  Note: This problem does not occur when I generate the content as WebHelp.

  What I want to do: When the nurse click on the hyperlink for 'Research for patients' of their overview topic, researching topic of patients is open and the search for patients is highlighted in the table of contents under the nurse, not the first occurrence (doctor).

  Questions: Is this a bug or is it repairable? And is it possible to fix it without creating the specific role of topics such as finding doctors for Patients, nursing research for Patients and so forth? I tried to delete the table of contents and start again, but the problem persists.

  Here is an example:

  Doctor

  Patient portal page

  Overview (contains links to sections below - view patient demograhic data, looking for patients, to renew orders)

  Display of the demographics of the patients

  Looking for patients

  Renewal of prescriptions

  Nurse

  Patient portal page

  Overview (contains links to sections below)

  Display of the demographics of the patients

  Looking for patients

  Display of orders

  Patient

  Patient portal page

  Overview (contains links to sections below)

  Update your demographic data

  Display of your prescrpitions

  My opinion would be that this is the expected behavior. My theory is that there is no information within the syntax of hyperlinks. A hypertext link is encoded such that when you click on it, you are taken to the landing page, as if sending the message "find the page named and post it by the specified parameters. What is happening is that the hyperlink goes to the first instance of the HTML page in your table of contents (.hhc file). There is no intelligence, he doesn't "know" that you are in the doctor or the nurse section - section he knows only that the page specified in the table of contents is listed in the file and thus, it only takes you there. The syntax of hyperlinks don't "know" where you are in the help system.

  I just also wanted to report the fault of strike in the Patient section, look a your orders of your example, assuming that you have copied and pasted into this thread.
