Problems of creating a Table of contents of an InDesign document

I am putting together a test document so that it contains all the styles, I need to create a Table of contents, and I am new to the control of this process, I appreciate any help I can get from the community here.

I have my paragraph styles, both for the headings in the document, as well as for table of contents entries, and I have them mapped to appropriate levels in the style of Table of contents.

First problem:  When I look at one the resunting table of contents, the entries are sort according to the page they are but not their position on the page.  These entries are contained in different text blocks arranged on each page. Certainly, it must be possible to make it work!

Second problem:  I can't get the function of head of the tab work the same way for two different styles for the same level within the table of contents.  In other words, the page numbering for the style hidden for my headers (placed on layers to hide when the document print) does not justify the right in alignment with the right reason for the numbering of headings unhidden.  I have OCD topics paragraph style in place with a tab on right justify, with a '. ' in the ' Leader: "box.  When you change the style of table of contents, I have the box "between entry and number" to "Right indent tab."  Is there a different setting for what I should use for this box "between entry and number?  I have not found a good explanation of options two dozen on the list of choices.

Here's an example of what looks like my OCD:

Topic #1........................................................1

#2 theme (which is hidden)... 1

Part of the #1 section has

Theme #1 part b

Part of the #2 section a, which is hidden.

Topic #3........................................................2

Topic #4........................................................2

Part of the #3 a topic

Theme #3 part b

Part of the #4 section has

Theme #4 part b

Topic #5 (what is hidden)... 3

Part of the #5 section a, which is hidden

Thanks in advance for your help.

The general principle is that ID leans on the upper left corner of the insert text frames and begins with one who is on the left, then moves down. This means that a block of text that begins at the bottom of the page, but whose left edge is more to the left, will be picked up before a frame which is high on the page, but whose left edge is more to the right.

  • Dynamically create a table of contents

  • How to create a Table of contents of a book as opposed to a single document?

    I'm working on a book with several chapters. Each chapter is a separate document joined as well as the rest of the book in InDesign. I have a table of contents in each document, and the hyperlink works very well when the document is exported to PDF. However, I was unable to create a single comprehensive contents table on the front of the book before Chapter 1. I tried everything I know how to create a table of contents for a single document, but that does not work for me with so many documents in the book. Is there something I missed? I'd appreciate any help in this regard.

    In the Options section of the Table of contents dialog box, there is a checkbox: Include book of Documents.

    What is checked, he must analyze each document in a book for styles to be used in the creation of the table of contents.

  • Is there an easy way to create a table of contents in an actual table?

    I checked the forums and google and all the examples to create a table of contents just shows that he is in a paragraph format. I tried this, and then by converting the text in a table, but whenever I update the table of contents it converts it to text. This is a minor annoyance but a big problem with the fact in this way is the table that is made is without header. (I tried to use two cell styles, a header and one for the body and their distribution inside the table style, but it don't seem to work converting the text.)

    wondering just if theres a easier way to do this and if im in the right direction? Thank you!

    IN CS6 passing

    Well, you can add the race with cell styles. The number of columns in the tables are there? If it is an odd number, it is possible to move the title to the Center lettreN with a tab character or two, but for the same count I don't see an option to merge cells in the header row.

    I need to create a table of contents in iPages but I want only one word for the title, not the line of holes. Or, how can I change the contents of the table? Thank you!

    Yes, you can have a one word title, by assigning a paragraph style title to this one word. No, you cannot change the text in a Table of contents, but you can change paragraph style font attributes (line) and add for example, a head of points between the types of OCD paragraph and page numbers. No part of the table of contents will not provide hyperlinks in exported PDF documents.

    When you look up in the menu bar, you can see the word iPages, or simply Pages. There is no product of iPages.

  • Create a table of contents Interactive

    I'm looking for the instructions for how to create a table of contents interactive which allows you to click on a title/chapter/etc, and he takes them to the location in the document specified. Just like the Adobe Handbook at this link.

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/PDF/acrobat_reference.PDF

    How can I do this?

    It is something that must be done before the file is converted to PDF, if possible. In Acrobat is long and difficult.

    However, if your file already contains bookmarks that point to the various sections in it, then they can be converted into a clickable table of contents, using a script.

    Thank you.

    Hi Michael,

    When you combine files into a single PDF, every file that you include will be a bookmark in the Bookmarks panel in Acrobat/Reader. So, I guess you could treat it as a Table of contents. (It is not, however, create a table of contents separate and add it to the file.) The bookmark names will reflect the name of each file you file handset.

    I hope that answers your question.

    Best,

  • You can create a table of contents with page numbers using bookmarks?

    You can create a table of contents with page numbers using bookmarks?

    Sometimes a long article has bookmarks to help navigate, it but has no real TOC (table of contents) on the first page. In such a situation, I think that it would facilitate the reading of the paper version if you can somehow create a table of contents with page based on hierarchical bookmarks in the document numbers.

    If this is not possible from Acrobat, is there a third party app?

    Indeed you have created a script for this - sorry that I missed it. I should have...

  • How to create a table of contents of several levels?

    How to create a table of contents of several levels, or at least a TOC of two levels, so that when you click on the sign '+' or something similar to the first level, the second level will increase?

    Select the item/s from the list Table of contents, and then use the arrows that will apear at the bottom of the skin Editor to move them to the right.  This will cause a new point TOC to appear as a cap for all items indented beneath it.

    Be aware that during the execution by clicking on this article of the topic does not operate the game to slide under him.  There is no that expand the group to show slides of the child. You will then need to click on the first slide of the child in the group to trigger playback.  Personally I don't like the way it works, but that's how it is.  Register a feature (like me) request if you want that it works differently in a future version of Captivate.

  • Find/change the question numbers and create the Table of contents

    Hello! I need help to find all my item numbers and apply a paragraph style so I can use them to create a Table of contents page.

    The sample numbers

    #12345

    #12345-5

    #12345-20

    #12345-ABC

    #12345/N

    I tried to enter #^? ^ ? ^ ? ^ ? ^ ? in the search/replace and but it is exactly 5 characters after the sign #. I wonder if you can find all characters starting by # and up until the last characters.

    Once I found all item numbers, how can I apply the paragraph style to have these characters after the sign #? Because I only want to show item numbers without the # sign on the Table of contents/Index page.

    In addition, I have InDesign CS2, which have no function GREP maybe I can do this without the GREP?

    I really appreciate any help. Thank you very much.

    Are your numbers by themselves in a separate paragraph? OTHERWISE you can not USE the table of contents feature to list all the numbers.

    If are, then just look at # in find/replace, then set it to change formatting a new paragraph style (you must create this style in CS2) that you want to include in the table of contents, then as you say, you can use find/replace once more on the history of the TOC to remove the # of all numbers.

  • Is it possible to have two or more tables of contents in a long document?

    I wrote a book in which I created a table of contents listing the sections in the book part i, part two e.g. etc..

    Can I now creates the TOC for each part?

    If so, please advise procedure.

    Thank you

    You can have a table of contents preceding each section. So, for your Part One article, you place your insertion point before the text in the section first and apply Insert menu: Table of contents: Section.  A new page containing the table of contents will be inserted before each article that you apply it too.

    Tested with Pages v5.6.2 on OS X 10.11.5.

  • Why is it I can't update a table of contents in Windows InDesign CS 5.5?

    I clicked to a table in the framework of the summary, but in my menu layout, "Update table of contents" is grayed.

    I "moved" my table of contents of an InDesign doc in a new doc, I created weeks ago. I can update in the old doc, but when it is copied into the new doc, the update option is no longer available.

    Why can't I've updated once it is in another doc so I can use its TOC styles & layout rather than to have to redefine those all over again?

    Thank you!

    I am using MS word 2010 to create the model (*.rtf file).

    The report displays the details of all the products used by the customer. Report 1 product per page. All products have the same model.

    What I want is to create an Index page, which displays the product name and the page number of the report in which it is generated.

    For example. Client Papa Johns uses 10 products. The generated report will contain details below: 1st Page-> Front Page containing details of the customer base.

    2nd Page-> Index page that contains product names and page numbers

    3rd page: 1 product details

    4th page: Details of the product 2.

    .

    .

    and so on.

    INDEX

    Product name Page No.

    Anchovies 4
    Apple at the top of 5
    Bacon 6
    7 barbecue sauce
    Barbecue Sauce2 8
    9 the chicken filling
    Dough 10

    Please note that the product number will be variable (it can increase or decrease), so there may be a case when the index page takes more than 1 or 2 pages just to print the names of products and their respective numbers.

    Thanks for the help in advance.

  • How to create a table of contents with contextual submenu?

    Is it possible to create a submenu using the standard function of the table of contents? We need a pop-up submenu it...

    That would be my suggestion: using variables, shared (or advanced, but here, you can certainly shared use) efforts to create such a menu. You can put it on the first slide, scheduled for the rest of the project. Then use a button to toggle to show/hide this menu.

    No integrated solution, although what I have explained any grouping of slides, with groups of expand/retract can be a more limited version if you use the table of contents available.
