Problems tab layout form/Leader TOC (table of contents)

BACKGROUND

I found it impossible to the TOC format with Chief tabs as I've seen the procedure described in the many forum posts, books and elswehere. I am an intermediate user of FrameMaker 9 FM running on Windows XP Pro. I run the same setup on a House and office with the same problem machine.

I am in the process of migration of large volumes of documentation of our company LaTek to FM and this issue proves to be insurmountable. I need to have complete control over this process, instead of "make do" with the default TOC.

I spent three days studying the nuances of the issue, which usually leads me to some insight or model that allows me to solve the problem, or at least share some clues on the forums. However, in this case, FM either does not work like its supposed to, or it implements my changes of apparently arbitrarily. So I don't know if it's a bug or a user error. I have also experienced the occasional crash of FM during all this work, often it is preceded by the designer of paragraph gel window and refusing to change your mind within the window (basic, by default, etc.).

THE PROBLEM

Specifically, I have learned to manage the General formatting with the blocks of construction on the page "reference", but the Chief tabs I use for the page numbers almost never spread, unless I use the TOC example included with FM.

I am sure that they are properly formatted, I even copied examples directly from files that I know (example FM files) work.

When I manually implement the process, I insert the tab between the blocks of construction (without space), define a RAS right tab, double click on and choose tab Manager option. Then I go to view 'page of body', save the document and regenerate the table of contents. Generally, nothing happens. Occasionally, after regeneration several times or by creating a table of contents fresh, some of the changes magically spread.

I even tried to import the format of another table of contents, which doesn't seem to work randomly. Especially not.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Douglas

You have set your tab outside the text frame (x6.25 ""). The maximum setting is only 4,625 ". The tab stops are within the context of the text block, not by the value of the leaders on the top.

    The fact that you have used the utility of 'Stacked view paintings' the constructor for hide or display a canvas has nothing to do with how the form is saved or executed.  The ZOrder (stacking order) of the paintings works exactly as it does for data-block objects.  If your 'stacked' canvas is listed below your Web 'tab' in the browser of the object then the stacked will be presented behind the tabs.  If you want the stacked to appear always on top and then in the object Navigator drag it above the tabs.

    When running, you control the paintings using SHOW_VIEW and HIDE_VIEW.  However, I understand that you can't HIDE a view if the cursor is positioned in an object on the canvas.  You must move the cursor first, then HIDE the view/canvas.

  • 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.

  • Display the correct/incorrect indications in a Quiz TOC (Table of Contents) (Captivate 6)

    Answer_Indication_TOC.png

    I use 6 Captivate.

    Is it possible to generate an indication in the Table of contents to display to the user a visual indication of correct / incorrect while the subject takes the quiz on the navigation?

    Any help in this effort is greatly appreciated! I've looked everywhere and can't solve this one.

    Thank you!!


    Ok. So I said that the possibilities of assembling the table of contents are limited. You can create a slide that this will show after the quiz. I guess you have not only question slides, and the slide of score is not sufficient for you.

    This will require the use of variables and advanced actions. Do you know anything about these features in Captivate?

  • 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

  • Paragraph styles are not properly in automatic Table of contents

    Hi all

    I'm currently busy with the lay-out of my doctoral thesis in Indesign CS6. I did the separate files for each chapter, after that, I joined the files in a document of a book. Now, I need to create a table of contents and want to do using the Table of contents style.

    I've already customized a table style content in which I said Indesign which paragraph styles should be included in the table of contents. I also created new paragraph styles to use as entry style. When you create a table of contents the lay-out seems just perfect, except that I set the text for being "fat" in my paragraph style, but it comes in the form of 'regular' text in my table of contents. Now I can pass this "BOLD" text by selecting it and alt + shift clicking on the paragraph style in the paragraph style menu. Problem is that after updating the table of contents text back to "regular". All the other stuff that I defined in the paragraph for entry style style (e.g., tablets, the font size, leading) are applied.

    How can I solve this problem? I would appreciate your comments, because it's annoying me a lot: S.

    Thanks a lot already!

    Did you apply a character style to your topics throughout the book?

    If so, this could cause the erratic behavior that you see.

    Check your table of contents update to see if there is a character applied to the imported text style.

  • Table of contents do not show in the view main provision

    OK, it must be something small minor that I do not.

    I created a project by importing a PDF file and creating themes based on a given style.

    In the project manager pod (?), under project files, I have 6 files. Each of the 6 files seems to be one of my subjects. Good so far.

    A table of contents was not created, so I clicked on each of the 6 files and choose New > Table of contents.

    Now, always in project management, the Table of contents file has my entries, but when I use the main View Layout button, I get subjects with no table of contents (Nothing in the navigation pane when the content is selected). OK, this isn't quite right, as I get the FIRST topic in the content pane and a full white in the navigation pane.

    My computer does show a warning that Microsoft protects me against the virus self-inflicted bad by not allowing not content to run, unless I authorize it expressly, but I when even didn't have no content when I leave the content.

    Is there something minor that I do not? (I'm the take that the main View Layout is supposed to show what will be the final result)

    Thank you

    Solon

    In the project manager, you should see listed contents. From what you say, rather than create the default TOC, you chose to create a new. That will be confirmed by see two entries in the Table of contents.

    So what happened is probably rather than set the wizard to use the new table of contents, you left the value by default if you generated using the default instead of the table of contents you created.

    Double-click the main layout and change the table of contents used in the first page of your new, and it should be OK.

    If you double-click a table of contents in the project manager, you should see open in a pod.

  • Troubleshooting the lack of table of contents level

    I'm under InDesign CS6. For some reason any my level 1 paragraph styles are not appearing in the table of contents (which looks pretty otherwise). I use Master Pages... one is the first Page of chapter. He uses the paragraph style "chapter titled new L1. I synced the book. I made sure whenever I use this Master Page that point to the same paragraph style. Each chapter is a new document. What Miss me?

    Here is the master page

    fpoc.png

    Here it is in use

    intro.png

    Here is how to generate the table of contents.

    toc2.png

    Of course, you must override on the page of the document (and not the master page) in order for InDesign to 'see' the content in the frame as belonging to this page (and so put it in the table of contents). For example, if your position is on page 5, you must override the image on page 5 with command + shift (Mac) or Ctrl + Shift (Windows) and clicking on the image. The dotted frame will change to a solid frame on this page. Then go to your table of contents page, select the image containing the table of contents and in the menu layout and choose Update Table of contents. You need to replace the image on each page of the document where it contains the content that you want to appear in the table of contents.

  • 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?

  • No index in my Table of contents

    FrameMaker 9 > Table of contents

    My book includes a TOC (table of contents) and the IOM (index) file.

    All of the chapters in my book have a chapter added to the "Title" tag title  The last "chapter" in my book is the file of the IOM.  In the IOM file, I have a 'Title' tag with the value "Index".

    When I generate my OCD, all the chapter in my book titles are listed, however, the Index get includes in the table of contents, even if I have the 'Title' tag included in my configuration of table of contents (see below).

    5-7-2011 4-32-35 PM.jpg

    So, how can I get the Index in the table of contents?

    Thank you.

    Sam

    Yes. FM is not look at the contents on the master pages. It only pulls the content from the active stream on the pages of your body.

    If you see the 'Index' string in your index file when you view the first page of the body, that is, it is set up in a block of background text on the first master page. Wrong place for this info if you need to put it in the table of contents - it must be on a page of body.

  • [ADF, JDev12.1.3] Mastering the form with detail tables: questions about Insertion/deletion, commit / rollback, primary key, handling,...

    Hallo,

    I have a panelTabbed with 4 tabs. In the 1st tab, there is a master form while each of the other tabs, there is a secondary table. Each tab "reads" vo.

    Please see here http://digilander.libero.it/flattit82/OTN_FILES/VoInTabs.png

    I created the graphichs/layout and now it's time to take care of the management of the transaction.

    In the master tab / form

    1)

    Here, I would put a button to remove the master record.

    When I delete a record in the primary table an automatism in the database (MS SQL Server) will automatically delete any registration which are linked to it in the detail tables.

    Could the automated system as this causes problems?

    In the Details tabs / tables

    2)

    I would put a button in each row to delete the line delivering. Can I just drag-and - drop, like button, af line: table the operation "Delete" of the VO istance detail used to create the af: table?

    3)

    If Yes, by clicking on the button performs the default delete operation. But if need to perform some actions before you run the deletion (or, in General, any other operation), how can I do?

    4)

    To create a folder that I use Create or CreateInsert? And what are the differences between them?

    5)

    When I create a new record I need set the value of a field of the VO on which is based the af: table. He filed, let's call it RowDetNumber, is not displayed in the af: table, because it doesn't have be filled in by the user. Mut value is calculated and set "secretly" before posting the new line to the database table. In particular, its value must be calculated as

    Select max (RowDetNumber) + 1

    of table_on_which_VO_is_based

    where some_conditions_on_fields_of_the_same_VO


    For example

    The VO selects all of the records that have FkId =: value. If value = 3, VO selection records:

    ID RowDetNumber OtherFields FkId

    1   3     1             ...

    2   3     2             ...

    3   3     3             ...

    4   3     4             ...

    The new record must be RowDetNumber = 5.

    I would like to know how permorm this.

    In general

    6)

    If the database tables have 1 or more triggers I have to take care of something?

    7)

    On the book "development of Web Applications with Oracle ADF Essentials - Sten E. Vesterli", I have read it could be problems when you use tables of database non-Oracle with auto-increment fields.

    The advice of author uncheck the 'Required' box in the model.

    All tables in my database have a primary keys that are auto-increment... so I uncheck the "mandatory"?

    8)

    In general how do I set these fields? I have to put in OT, VO or both?

    Thank you

    Hello

    (1) you will need to re - question child iterators so that they do not look stale data

    (2) Yes. Ensure that the table is PPRed after deleting the line (should happen automatically if ChangeEventPolicy on iterator is set to ppr)

    (3) double click on the button and it creates a bean managed for you. It allows you to check a box to generate the code he would run to remove the line. Everything you put in front of the generated code is your code before

    (4) in the case of tables, use createInsert as it adds the new line to the rowset (transaction)

    (5) suggest to do this use a database trigger and the data attribute value DBSequence VO type

    (6) do not 'drop table' issue in SQL (sorry, couldn't resist ;-))

    (7) If you follow the advice of the author, Yes. What it does, I have it does not throw an exception if a value is missing in the validation of the line

    (8) usually you set whatever it is at the level of the OS and put only things on VO if you want to override the default value for a specific behavior

  • Table of contents to highlight the problem

    Hello

    I use RH8.0.2.

    When I click on the text of the hyperlink it navigate to the correct page, but in the content of the table of contents section that appears is not highlighted. Then there's the page where he was selected remains highlighted.

    For example: as in Fig1, if I click on the "TMD PDU" it navigate to the page on the right as in Fig. 2, but fake 'E - UTRA RLC Messages Overview' remains enabled. Ideally in TOC "TDG PDU" page should be highlighted.

    Hi Rahul

    There are a few things you need to check here. I will assume from the images, you create the CHM files.

    First, open the project set-up pod and expand the Windows folder. Change the properties of your CHM window, and then make sure that the option to synchronize the table of contents has been activated.

    Once you've done that, change the properties of single Source available and click the change... button. This should open another dialog box where you must click on the Styles tab OCD make sure you check the option always show selection .

    See you soon... Rick

  • Table of contents with tabs

    I have my TOC formatting problems in CS4. The headers in my document include tabs, so I can't create a paragraph style for these headers with a leader of the tab it will affect my headers. What I am looking for is the following:

    1 [pg tab number] Summary [dot leader]

    When I create a paragraph style with a leader of the dowry to apply to my OCD, what I'm left with is this:

    1. [dot Chief] Summary [dot leader] pg number

    Who is? I know there must be an easy fix for this, but I can't quite understand it...

    Instead of a leader, you can use a dash of custom underline and apply it as a character style. I would do it using a nested - style none up to 2 tablets, style undeline by 1 tablet - as part of the style definition for a list of the table of contents.

    Thank you.

    No need to change the titre3 paragraphs. Look at the reference to the table of contents page. There is probably a page containing the TOC tag that defines the format of the entries in the table of contents. There the paragraphs which badges are derived from paragraphs in the main document that generate entries by adding OCD to the original label. Thus, registrations for titre3 paragraphs are marked Heading3TOC. The reference page has a Heading3TOC which looks like point something lke:

    <$paranumonly>  <$paratext>.........................<$pagenum>

    When there is a tab between <$paranumonly>character and <$paratext>that moves from the left side of the <$paratext>2.0 cm, and another tab between <$paratext>and <$pagenum>that moves to the right of the <$pagenum>-12.0 cm.

    I mean put a space before the second tab. You can also add an additional tab before the <$pagenum>.

    Hello

    I use MS Word 2003 and Acrobat 9 in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

    It seems as expected. There are titles, subtitles and subtle (3rd level).

    Table of contents in Word works very well. No problem.

    In the PDFMaker options on the Bookmarks tab, I put 1 TOC with 3 levels.
    However, after you convert the entire document in PDF, bookmarks seem very strange.

    They contain only the titles (no subtitles at all), each bookmarked line ends with some number 3, 4 or 5 that I have not idea what it is and these bollmarks point to page table of contents no to the page, they should have.
