Spacing of table of contents

Is there a way to adjust, to increase, the minimum spacing between a table of contents entry and its page number for paragraphs of the single line? I know that I can insert nonbreaking spaces in long paragraphs, but if a paragraph fits on one line, it does not help.

The screenshot below shows an entry on the first line which is too close to the page number. The second line is the way I want it to look, but I have to do a return forced to implement. Of couse, when I re - generate the table of contents the forced return disappears, so I hope that there is another technique.

If editing the frame.ini file would control the spacing, how woiuld that be implemented?

I swap this in the forum script in the case where there is a way to script it.

If anyone can tell me if this is NOT possible, I understand that too (so that I don't know is not to keep trying to think of workarounds).

Jay,

The method I use is not obvious but work because of how FrameMaker seems to work.

For EACH paragraph format used in your table of contents, those ending in KNOCK, open the paragraph Designer. One of the tabs (do not remember which) has a place to specify the spacing settings. There are three boxes: minimum, optimum, and maximum. The minimum is generally defined 75%, the optimum 100% and up to 125%. Add 100, or 200 or 300% for the minimum AND maximum, BUT NOT optimum, which is set at 100%. For example, the minimum would be 175%, the OPTIMA 100% and the maximum of 225 percent. Click Refresh all. I do this in the template file and then import the paragraph formats in all the files in your book. Then update the book.

I think FrameMaker tests to adjust the spacing using minimum and maximum, determines where the line break and then sets the optimum spacing of 100%. The result is a line break shortly before the end of the line. You can experiment. The more you add to minimum and maximum, more space between the line break and the end of the line.

  • I'd like to produce consistent spacing before and after the section headings in the table of contents

    Hello

    I am trying to create a style for the entries of table of contents for the titles of the books section. I would have a little more vertical space between these securities and two other section titles or sub-section titles, like so:

    Section 1

    Paragraph 1 a

    Paragraph 1(b)

    Section 2

    Section 3

    and so on. To do this, I can easily add a space before and after the space for the section title style. The problem comes when there are two titles with no intermediaries paragraphs, such as 2 and 3 in the example above. Then, the space between these titles is double. If I set is a nonzero value space before or after the space, but not both, then the titles won't be correctly spaced in areas where it has paragraphs either below or above a section title. Does anyone know how to get a uniform spacing?

    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Make a third style for the case where there are two titles of section together.

    Glenn,

    I have developed a fix for this. It has been published several times in this forum, the search engine does not work, so I can't. I'll try to repeat it as much as I can remember.

    You need to redefine your TOC paragraph tags. In the paragraph Designer, select a tag table of contents. Select the Advanced tab. In the section on the wee, the Minimum value 275%, Maximum of 375% and Optimum 100%; CLEAR (uncheck) allow automatic tracking. Click Refresh all.

    REPEAT the above for each TOC paragraph tag.

    Then update your address.

    Normally, must be less than the Optimum, which should be less than Maximum. I have no idea what FrameMaker is no, but it seems trying to set between minimum and maximum word spacing; This allows to determine where the line breaks. Sets optimal spacing, which is 100%. The result is a line break characters to the left of the edge of the image. If the above settings do not enough give you pause, add 100% at a minimum and maximum, but NOT optimal; Optimum must always be 100%. If the break is too heavy, attempts to subtract 100% of the minimum and maximum.

    By programming your tags to TOC paragraph with these changes, the line break is automatic.

    Hope this helps,

  • 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

  • Table of contents for several sheet file...?

    It is possible to:

    1. Create a Table of contents listing all sheets in a file?
    2. Have these hyperlink worksheet titles to the sheets themselves?

    I build what will eventually be a fairly large file (read: 75 + leaves). Rather than scrolling all the leaves one by one by one manually to locate the correct table, it would be useful to have a table of contents or an Index that lists the in order... Ideally, allowing the connection of hypertext link to the leaves they reference. (I swear that this was part of a way-back-when number...)

    Instead, is it possible to auto-trier worksheets in alphabetical order? He would not give me the project view as a table of contents or an Index of 35,000 feet, but at least it would be a little easier to find what it takes.

    Looking forward to sharing the wisdom...

    HI stephanie,.

    The numbers 2 (' 09) and 3 support not the hyperlinks to locations within the current document. Both take in charge of hyperlinks that open a Web page in your default browser or which will open and send a new e-mail message.

    Command-F can be your friend here.

    Place an array of single cell on each sheet (or use a cell on the existing table). Enter a short text string that identifies the table or sheet. Each string must be unique in the document.

    To access the card containing one of the following strings:

    Press Control + F to open the Find dialog.

    Enough chain to identify the worksheet type.

    Number will draw this roadmap forward as soon as it can determine which table contains the cell containing this string.

    Tested with four sheets containing:

    able, baker, charlie and delta

    With this limit together (and any other tables in the document - quite an artificial situation!), type c or d was enough to bring me to sheet 3 or 4, sheets 1 and 2 required two letters (ab or ba) to identify the good sheet and bring it forward.

    With a document containing several tables (and more leaves), create (and remembering) a separate channel for each becomes more complicated.

    You can place a second copy of each in a table of Index or table of contents on a separate sheet. From the index table,

    Copy the entry for the table/worksheet you want to go.

    Open the dialog to find (command-V)

    Paste the entry in the search box. (What it will find and highlight the entry that you have copied to the index table)

    Click on the > button on the dialog to find the occurrence FOLLOWING this string (on your target table.

    I forgot to mention that my document consists of many sections. While my other document that has its main contents in a cot, a great section working very well in this regard, for example, I am able to go to any title by clicking an appropriate fake (the pointer is active as opposed to the doc above).

    Much appreciate any input on this.

  • How can I display the table of contents for the iPod Touch to 6

    When I opened first of all iPod Touch Users' Guide, I used the table of contents (TOC) to locate and access sections in the manual. But, after looking through the manual for awhile, I tried to return to the table of contents, but it wasn't there! I have tried various things to see if the table of contents are being hidden, or if in some way, it has been deleted. Anyone can shed light on this mysterious event?

  • Table of contents: linking the titles and page numbers

    Hi all

    In my paper, I created a table of contents.

    Like most books, I want to link titles and paragraphs to their pages by a dotted or dashed, just like that:

    Title - P2

    subtitle - P3

    etc...

    I also use these links in checklists to connect the left side of the list to the right side.

    And this isn't something wrong: this faclity Visual really helps you recognize what's on poles on the right with the correct item on the left.

    Is there a way or a function in Pages to automatically create these links instead of typing for each item in the Table of contents (which can be very long, little time)?

    Thanks for your time.

    Lopez.

    With your table of contents is generated, click each item in the table of contents (for example, title, subtitle, title 1, etc.) so that it appears highlighted. Your right in v5.6.2 Pages panel will show the Table of contents and a text label.

    Further down in the text tab, there will be an area of tabs. If it is not expanded, click the word ▸ tabs. Click any selector in the column Leader and the choice of your choice for your boss to fill. There is no provision to set a color of head. Here is an example:

    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.

    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.

    Hello

    I am writing a scientific assignment and I have some titles that contain italic characters such as: Importance of Bacillus cereus

    When you build a Table of contents, Pages v5.6.2 uses a brush regular Helvetica on all text in the generated TOC. He made his farewell to all the attributes of fonts can set up for your titles and headings. We can not selectively reapply text attributes to a part of a table of contents entry.

    If I use the degree symbol in the title or the title paragraph style, she survives as baseline Exhibitor in the generated table of contents. My degree symbol is entered as shift + option + 8 (on a U.S. keyboard).
