• 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!

• InDesign CS5 (Mac) document is on strike (crashes for .idml, creation of table of contents)...

  1. document A: attempted to create a Table of contents to replace the one I already have. INDD beachball.

  2 force quit INDD and restarted. On the re-creation of table of contents with the new model, same result. Force quit again.

  3 restarted Mac

  4. the same result as 1. Set up a new style of table of contents, with or without PDF hyperlinks. Same result.

  5 reset preferences INDD. Document reopened attempted to create the table of contents. Same result.

  6 document B: have tried to create a table of contents in another document. No problem, should be document, rather INDD as a whole.

  7. the document A: Reopened document original buggy, attempted to create IDML, but it froze at 57%. Force quit again...

  What can I do to get a non-buggy working paper, has? It has variables and references, but the fact of B documents.

  Thanks Jongware for your suggestion.

  Open as copy didn't work so I decided to go back to the previous version (I always do a new document when the customer sends the next set of amendments) and re-done about 5 hours of work, but now I have an updated version that does not keep crashing and with cross-reference works really well. Thought it would be better that send on you because I assumed that no one would be able to determine what was causing the document crashing to the point 57 percent of idml creation or when you click the mark button table of contents.

  I guess that the 57% point INDD works on the table of contents, or cross-references or those dratted variables that cause any document down if the text that contains is selected. This is a bug that I wish Adobe would fix pronto. Only occurs on Mac not PC of CS5 version apparently computers.

• InDesign CS4 table of contents (TOC)

  Hello

  I created a table of contents in Indesign CS4 by configure headers and styles of subtitles in the paragraph style. In a section of the book, I would exclude the subtitle, but include it in the table of contents. I don't know if it's possible, know the behavior of TOC recognizes only the content of the page.

  We can include subtitle in the table of contents the same when it is not visible on the page?

  Thank you

  Put on a nonprinting layer visible, is a good idea - I'll probably end up doing it by the departure, instead of just leaving a random text box.

  Another useful technique is to put your table of contents entry in an area of anchor text and anchor text you want in the table of contents entry to designate, so if your doc is redéroule, the table of contents with it input stream and the page number in the table of contents will be updated correctly.

  Unfortunately, that is not compatible with the technique of the separate layer

  Anchored objects must be on the same layer, but you can assign not printable.

• How can I get Indesign Table of contents gap filler?

  I will have no problem getting my table of contents to come out exactly as I expect to see - BUT -

  How can I get periods just to fill the space between the word/chapter title and page number?

  All the tutorials I see show them already in place. Mine come out blank or if I place in the model, it comes out with just how much I place - not plus-pas less. The chapter titles are words of different length and I want to the table of contents to finish in two columns justified.

  I know it's simple, no doubt, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere Please help!

  If you want the traditional Chief, open your box of paragraph TOC style dialogueOptions legends and move on to the screen. This is when you set the position of the tab and the leader.

  I prefer to use the underline myself.  Note that the field Style drop-down menu beside where you have your ^ t.?  In this area, select 'New Style' (in CS4, for earlier versions, you must exit the dialog Table of contents and first to define the character style) and create a style of character called underlined tab or something equally as descriptive. The only attribute of the style should add the underline. In the example below, I put the underscore for pt.5 Japanese points which are faces that the leader is created with a period or style of ordinary dotted outline. Ihaven can't included any offset, underscore appears on the baseline. You can change what you want, make sure the check box is on, not gray.

  

  Another thing that I would change, if you use the feature of underscores, is to replace your tab (which is a fixed position) with a tabulation of withdrawal right (metacharacter is ^, but you can select it from the drop-down list). A tabulation of withdrawal right is always on the far right in a column, even if you change the column width to a later date. Ordinary tabs do not move if you change the column. Using this method you would not a tab located in the paragraph style.

  

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• How can I add a caption to a table of contents?

  I was assigned the role of building a model Indesign to eventually replace the Word MS one that we currently use, but I have never touched this software before. With a lot of Googling, I groped my way through it a little, but I can't seem to understand this one.

  If I just add, it is deleted on update, so... I am at a loss. The only option is to stay another text box there? I was trying to avoid this.

  

  I just frome background coding so I'm not dodge this option if possible.

  Don't know what it is you are trying to do here.

  A table of contents are based on the paragraph styles you include, and it should be in its own frame, do not put on other stories. Do you mean, perhaps you want a column on page numbers?

  You can add that the insertion of a paragraph above the first listing in the generated table of contents (when it is placed, you can edit it normally like any other story), but you have to do every time the table of contents are updated. You can also change the 'content' line to read the content ^ n ^ yPage and then create a GREP search in find/replace to Find \^n\^y and change it to \n~y and it will add the linebreak and a withdrawal to the right tab. The ^ n ^ y is not a code required in this case - you can use what you want as long as it appears nowhere else - and you can use any sort of tab you like after the break, too. If you save the query, find/replace, it will be slightly faster that back manually after an update of the table of contents.

• Table of contents, separating the positions and Page numbers

  Hello

  I work with a table of contents in InDesign CC. Some of the titles that appear in the table will be very long and the next line. I want to wrap up before it hits the right hanging tab so that there is a visual separation between the page numbers and text. I understand that I can do it manually, but I want to do it consistently because it is a model for a large number of documents.

  Here's what I want it to look, the important thing is that the long position:

  1. regular position... 5

  1.1 regular subheading... 6

  2. long title that I hope

  a smart person would reduce

  down anyway............................................................ 8

  As opposed to:

  1.      Regular Heading...................................................... 5

  1.1 regular subheading... 6

  2. long title this person smart hopefullya would be

  cut down anyway..................................................... 8

  Any ideas? Is it possible to have an active table of content in a table? Or maybe something else? Expand on a second column?

  Well, looks like you know how to a negative indent on the left margin; you know, apply a few dash to the left margin, then some Indent first line. Look carefully at your dash controls in your toolbar: apply some indent right margin, then a few negative withdrawal of last line, and you can get your table of contents behaves exactly as you wish.

  I can take a few screenshots for you later if my description is not obvious.

• Automated Table of contents using incorrect styles

  Hello

  I got the InDesign to generate the table of contents for me based on the styles that I created. In most cases, this works very well except for a few cases where some of the generated elements have the applied incorrect character style.

  For example, I have a paragraph called Sub header style. In the settings Table of contents window, I have subheader put in place for the TOC entry under heading style. Each time the Sub header entry appears, it theoretically should use the table of contents under heading style in the table of contents. Unfortunately, for reasons I cannot quite understand, this isn't happening. Most of the entries under the header appear correctly, using the Sub TOC header, but some of them are filling in the table of contents with adaptations of the character style that have been used in the body.

  Does anyone know a way around this? If my example was not clear enough, let me know what I need to study in detail, and I'll do it.

  Dr Mitchell says:

  some of them are filling in the table of contents with adaptations of the character style that have been used in the body.

  It is a normal behavior. Local Overides and character styles are preserved when points are awarded to a new style. You can avoid this by using nested styles or styles built GREP style intothe defintion to apply special formatting (because they are part of the definition of paragraph style that they are not substitutions and will not be kept), or if this is not possible, you can make a topic non-printable to use instead and apply the paragraph style and then make a copy of the style and give a new name (just the base on the other model and nothing else than the name change) and apply it to one with character style replacements, so it does not appear in the table of contents.

  Which was all clear?

• Update the table of contents [JS, CS3]

  Hi all

  In the InDesign interface, you can select your table of contents and simply click on the TOC of layout update page to update.  Is this possible with a script or what I need to recreate table of contents by using the document.createTOC () method?  It's that I don't see in the object model.

  I have a book with 33 chapters, and each has its own table of contents.  All tables have been set up, I just need to be updated so that they have the correct page number.

  Thank you

  Mike

  You looked in the right place, but may have overlooked this:

  CreateTOC history painting (using the: TOCStyle [, replacing: boolean = false] [, fromBook:Book] [, included: table of number] [, includeOverset:bool = false] [, destinationLayer: Layer])

  ...
  replacement (bool) If true, replaces the existing table of contents. (Optional) (default: false)

  Sounds like you just need to add is

  document.createTOC ([your table of contents style], true);

• Table of contents - power of the text box

  Hello

  I recently started using Adobe InDesign and love it! I have a question around the table of contents. At the beginning of each chapter, we have a simple page with a box in it. (each chapter has about 10 pages). The intention is to have the content of the text become the title of the chapter box and have it displayed in the Table of content. The text box itself has several characters of new line in. When I generate the table of contents, InDesign creates several entries in the Table of contents (one per each new line in the text box). So my question is... Is there a way to specify that the content of the entire text box appears as an entry in the Table of contents. (I'd like to update the table of contents by hand to avoid any errors).

  I appreciate any help in this matter.

  Thank you!!

  So, you say that, break forced line and you want that all the rows in the table of contents? I think that I misunderstood.

  If this is the case you're going to the trouble of formatting of the table of contents, as the forced line break will carry you through to the table of contents (you can change the colours using styles or nested GREP and those will not set if you use a different style in the table of contents list itself).

  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.

  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.

  All,

  Managed to find the error. I used the option field to insert available in word. Copy the tag instead of the field option and then build the table of contents.

• Table of contents order

  I'm working on a Table of contents of a training manual, and I'm a little confused on how to manage the order of the items in my table of contents.

  In my page, I have two styles of different paragraph I want to show in the table of contents - the subheader (section headings), and the Sub Headers (definitions). There are two under headings on the page and 12 Sub-Sub-Headers (all of which are anchored text boxes because I wanted them on the same line as the definitions). Here is the order in which they appear:

  

  When I update the Table of contents, InDesign puts sub two headings at the top of this page and the all following definitions. I would have preferred that the various definitions appear under the secondary heading in the table of contents, as they appear in the actual page.

  

  Is it possible that I can have in the actual page order rather than having the two are senior level automatically fill on top? Here are my parameters, in which case it is useful. I'm on a Mac of InDesign CC version.

  

  Thank you!

  Just like that:
