• 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.

• How to reorder the Table of contents?

  Hi all

  In Adobe Captivate 8 I'll create a Table of contents for my introduction to e-Learning. I found the tutorial on Adobe on how to create it.  I know I can you rearrange slides easily in Captivate. My question is this. The Table of contents will revamp the as well as slides or I have to do separately?

  Thank you for your help.

  You need to just reset the TOC, there is a tiny button at the bottom which allows to reset. At least if you have best practices:

  1. to name the slides with the name that you want to appear in the table of contents
  2. the slides that you want to have a higher level and the name of the Group of groups with the name that you want to appear in the table of contents

  In addition I always recommend during training, waiting, with the creation of the table of contents, until the project is completed. Then you can do more editing in the table of contents, such as the creation of more than two levels (groups + slides will be paid the flimstrip, not more levels).

• Table of contents chapter-level and book

  I have a book that is a reference book which becomes large enough, over 1 k pages. For clarity, I'll call you every file INDD support a 'chapter '. What I would like is to have a table of contents of the book-level which has just the chapter titles and their page indicated from the start numbers then each chapter table of contents chapter-level that goes into the details of the level of the page. Do all this from the outset makes for a massive TOC. I want my readers to be able to access a chapter and then discern the pages they need there.

  The table of contents to the book level is quite easy. It's the chapters that give me bad.

  The only way I was able to do this is to generate the detailed table of contents and then copy/paste the tips in each chapter. As you can imagine this is tedious and error-prone.

  Is it possible to have the table of contents chapter-level generated automatically, but limited only to pages in the current INDD file?

  My apologies if this was asked before. Have read many articles here, but have not found the answer, I am looking. Looking.

  InDesign CC 2015.2 on Win10.

  You can create a table of contents for each chapter. For example:

  • Opened Chapter 1
  • Add a new page 1 (or more if necessary.)
  • On the 1st page again, choose page layout > Table of contents
  • Add paragraph Styles
  • Uncheck include book Documents to only pick up the styles in this file

  

  Repeat for each chapter.

• Added a link to an external file in the table of contents

  I would like to be able to have a link in the table of contents in an external file (such as a pdf or doc Excel file) that can reside on the same server as the online help project, without having to add the external file to the project in a baggage file. Basically, I put in the address of the file, just as you would for a URL, but RoboHelp does not allow me to do. I can add a link of this type on a topic page, but I don't see how to do this in the table of contents. The idea is that this file could be maintained outside the project to online help, and the online help will always be a link to the most recent version (without having to update anything in the online help). Someone at - it ideas?
  Thank you!
  Lynn

  Nevermind, I figured it. I just need to add the following at the beginning of the URL address...

  file://

  I also need to remember that there may be no space anywhere in the folder names and file name when the link in the table of contents.

• Question about subjects, books and tables of contents

  I have a question about the subjects, books and tocs. I have a project that someone else created, and my task is to create a new topic and add it to the table of contents. I created the topic, but when I generate CHM project it does not appear in the table of contents. I tried to update the table of contents. What I think (I guess) could be the problem, is the 'links to the topics', when I see the links to the topics in other areas (old) they seem to have a link to the main book, but the new one is not mine. Could you help me? Thank you!!!

  It seems that you have a manual table of contents page, rather than using the table of contents of CHM.

  The toc.htm topic that you see in your list of topics is probably where you will need to add your new topic.

  If the table of contents was already populated when you inherited the project, I suspect the previous author was using it just to keep track of the topics they had added manually to the topic toc.htm - added the CHM topic in summary you did mark the column of the table of contents in the list of topics like '' Yes. '' then add to the toc.htm manual is not. Hope that makes sense.

  P.S. Just guess that it is installing what I can see in the screenshot. It is quite unusual, so I hope I'm right.

• How can I get the action to hide the table of contents to work as part of a conditional Action?

  GOAL: when a user takes the Quiz and fails, I wish they were able to get back underway and reviewing the materials before taking the quiz. As noted in other discussions, I have created actions advanced conditional and standard to achieve this:

  • Quiz results Slide Property executes the standard action "ResultsSlideVisitedAction", affecting a variable (AssessmentVisited) to 1, an indicator that the result slide has been visited.

  

  • If a user clicks the Retake Quiz button, instead of going to a "knowledge management", a quiz question classified early in the race with zero points, it goes to the first real quiz question. The slide to check knowledge runs the 'ExcludeKCAction', a conditional, looking to see if the result slide has been visited, which means that the quiz taken. If so, he jumps at the 1st question of the quiz slide.

  

  • I changed my Quiz message fail to tell the user to click the button Retake (which works fine) or navigate using the table of contents to review topics and then resume the quiz. The problem with this is that if a user uses the table of contents and gets to go to the slide to verify the knowledge to conditional action, they are sent directly to the Quiz.
  • So, I took a different tact and decided to ask the user to use a "Back in the race" button to review the course and then resume the quiz. Because you cannot add buttons to the slide of results, I created an invisible button to reset the AssessmentVisited variable to 0, so when the GET to the verification of knowledge, they are not sent for the quiz. I did this by adding the image on a button, and then by superimposing an invisible rectangular shape on top of the button image. This allowed me to add advanced invisible form actions. It worked!
  • The last thing I want to do is to hide the table of contents, so there is no chance of the user to return without resetting the variable. I tried to add the action to hide the table of contents, but it doesn't seem to work. Is this possible?  I tried to move the TOC to hide as actions of 1st, 2nd and 3rd and sill does not. Here is a screenshot of the conditional action that runs when a user clicks on my return to the button a course:
  • 

  I appreciate any thoughts on a solution to hide the table of contents as well. Thank you.

  Hide the TOC works only for OCD in overlay, you use a table of contents separate?

• 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.

• How to choose half of a title to appear as title 1 in the Table of contents?

  I am creating a document containing several job descriptions and want to have a hyperlink in a Table of contents description of each individual work. The way securities are in the format looks like this: "profile Description: President. The only part of the title I want to appear in the Table of contents is '' President. '' How can I select the part of the title to post a link in the table of contents? I've highlighted the portion of the line I want to appear as the title 1 but Word (2010) insists on the selection of the entire line and not just the part that I chose to be Heading 1. I know that I could drop the word 'Président' to another line, but it's not the look I want. I think I should perhaps use a bookmark or do something with the field but am way over my head on this one. I only know some of the basics and the terms bookmark and the field are new for me and quite mysterious. Any help would be appreciated, but I am a novice and must be crossed it work with no baby.

• Duplicate sections throughout the table of contents after generating the HTML5 multiscreen output

  Use: RoboHelp 10, version 10.0.0.287

  Steps to reproduce the problem:

  1. click on file > create > main layout (Multiscreen_HTML5)

  2 al ' Generate window click on [Save and Generate]

  3. wait

  4. click on [view results]

  5 results show swathes of the table of contents reproduced in other sections.  10 more times to repeat the generation before that the entire table of contents points are correct and I can publish.  This is not preventing me from doing the job, but it's certainly a time killer.

  Background: I inherited a working version.  I did not create it.  I have more knowledge of the HTML language, but I'm not a developer.  I didn't upgrade beyond RH10 option.  I have studied this many times, but have not been able to find a solution.  The only other thing I've seen sometimes are error messages related to the toctree.js file, but I still don't understand those.  Even when I have not, this past yet, but I have included this error just in case it may be related, although I suspect that it is a separate issue.  I don't currently have the line in the js file because this sample is old and I have not seen the question at least a month.

  Other Notes: I've seen a few posts on a similar question in the printed version, but, I do not have a printed version.  I don't know if that makes a difference, and do I know if anyone in the past that put in place or even where to go to watch.

• RoboHelp 2015 (12.0.2.384): The search returns topics do not are included in the table of contents

  ENVIRONMENT: Windows 7 Enterprise SP1, 8.00 GB of RAM, 64 - bit OS, Office 2010, Adobe Acrobat X Pro, Acrobat Reader DC 2015.017.20050

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT:

  • A single RoboHelp HTML project with three exits. One of the outputs is a 'validation' reference that has its own Table of contents.
  • Validation reference Table of contents contains a subset of the subjects in the main help system. For example, the help system main table of contents contains a folder named 'Administration '. This folder is not in the table of contents of reference for Validation.
  • The reference of Validation is displayed on a public web site. Therefore, we applied the tag "Non_public_info" contained in the topics shared that we do not want to appear on the public website.
  • WebHelp parameters are:
    • Validation reference TOC
    • No map file, no sequence to browse
    • Conditional compilation expression: NOT_Non_public_info_AND_NOT_StyleGuidelines_AND_NOT_TRP (we keep our Style rules in the project to facilitate access during development. TRP content must be rejected because it was not released.)
    • Exclude non referenced topics of output is selected.
    • Search options. Only 'Show Total number of search results' and 'View AND search Option in outputs' are selected.
  • After generating the WebHelp, we remove the files that we don't want (RoboHelp generates empty folders, even if the files are not in the table of contents.)

  PROBLEM: A search in the help of Validation reference reveals the topics that we think should not be included because the subjects themselves are not in the table of contents of Validation reference. For example, the section "Data quality analysis" is in the main table of contents help, but not in the table of contents of reference for Validation. Therefore, we do not expect the topic appears in the search results pane at all. But he does. When the user clicks on the subject, the "Resource not found" message appears.

  Nothing shows the topic Style_Guidelines because the StyleGuidelines label conditional construction applies to the entire folder and the "Style guidelines" book in the main table of contents. (Same thing for the TRP folder).

  QUESTION: Why are topics which are not in the table of contents and whose records are not in the project at all appearing in the WebHelp during a search? We need to rewrite the expression of conditional compilation or establish conditions differently. We assume not have topics in the table of contents, not including the topics not referenced in the output, and remove empty folders would be the way to go. Any help is welcome!

  Thank you very much.

  Carol Levie

  The table of contents does not control what ends up in the output for output online. All content tagged and tagged content which is not excluded by the expression of construction will be included. The parameter 'Exclude topics not referenced output' more exclude all subjects which are not in the table of contents AND are not related to any topic which is included in the output.

  On the other hand, for the print output the table of contents control which is found in the output. I think that it will fire a lot of people.

  If you generate the help and that you do not remove the unwanted files, do you still have the error? If this isn't the case, you know that the topic is referenced somewhere in the content of the reference of the Validation.

  Here is the help of RH11. I can't imagine it would have changed, but you could do a search to verify a second time for RH2015.

  Exclude output not referenced topics

  Select this option to exclude any topic that exists in the project, but is not the default theme in page layout or is not referenced table of selected contents, index or sequence to browse, or any referenced subject.

  Note: RoboHelp shows the topics not referenced that are excluded from the output in the output view module.

• 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.

• Can I create a hierarchy of topic on the project manager pod or I must rely on the table of contents?

  Hello

  Can I create a hierarchy of topic on the project manager pod or I must rely on the table of contents? I use RoboHelp 9 (although I doubt that the version of the questions).

  Thank you

  Mary

  Hi Mary

  As you do this is by creating folders in the project manager, then create new topics in the files or move the existing entries in the records.

  If you work exclusively in the project manager, you are only able to move a single topic at a time. If you want to move a swarm of topics, open the pod of the list of topics and you can select as many as you want. Then drag the subjects selected to the folder on the project manager pod. Be a little careful when you drag. Often the mouse will pass over a tab at the bottom of the basket, and this can change their minds about you.

  See you soon... Rick

• Unlocking of the Table of contents

  Hello

  My project includes a few questions in Quiz mode.

  When you navigate to the Table of contents, the learner cannot go beyond the question until it fills the question.

  Is there anyway to unlock the table of contents so that the learner can freely navigate through the table of contents?

  I'm guessing that your answer might be "change the questions in survey mode." The problem is that mode of inquiry does not feedback 'OK!' and 'Wrong' when replying to questions.

  Is it possible to get the best of both worlds?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  THX!

  Also check what setting you have under Quiz > settings > required.  If you want the user to be able to go anywhere, then you should probably have it set to optional, as some of these settings may force the user to answer all questions or even getting them correct before being able to navigate elsewhere.
