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.

  • Control the order of citation in the table of contents

    Hi, I created a table of contents that resembles the style of one paragraph for a newsletter. On the first page of the newsletter, there are two articles, and I would like to be able to control what article shows first. Is it possible to do this?

    toc.jpg

    If you look at the picture, I would 'Welcome' appears in front of "Managing your Performance."

    Thank you

    InDesign will index the table of contents, from left to right first, then from top to bottom. If you cannot use multiple paragraph styles to index the table of contents you can cheat InDesign to think that a text is still left one another.

    First, create a text box outside the page on the left side of the page, and bind this text box to the text box of welcome, then Indesign indexes this text box.

    This little thing of course only works if you don't not "entered sort in alphabetical order" enabled (Advanced settings) in the Table of contents dialog box.

  • You order your topics TOC for the automatic creation of table of contents



    I recently inherited a help file. Our COMPUTER service complete updates of the application and generates content for the help file, I include in the file, generate the JAR file and transfer to programmers to integrate into the final product.

    I have OCD instructions to 'Automatic Creation' whenever I finish my updates. It all works well, except that the client has the hope that the table of contents will be in a specific order. The routine of automatic creation of guard placing books and pages in alphabetical order. I have to use them whenever I generate.

    Does anyone know how to force the books and pages in one order other than alphabetical?

    I appreciate your help! This task is a bit tedious.

    Very nice answer. We have not neet to autocreate every time. Perfect.

  • table of contents printed documentation has elements out of order

    When I print a pdf document by using the printed Documentation option, some of the elements in the table of contents are out of use; the list of projects and the Table of contents are identical.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to customize the sensitive presentation - sequence of the table of contents, Index, tabs filter?

    Hello

    I use RoboHelp 2015 and reactive production layout, I need to rearrange these tabs. I want the tab of filtering of dynamic content to be displayed before the table of contents.

    Is it possible to re - sequence tab filters before tab table of contents by making some backend work in CSS or code?

    forum post.png

    Or the other way improved - if we select filters say - sales, then sales related subjects should be displayed (rather extended below - just like the expansion of text).

    Is it possible to customize the sensitive provision in this way?

    Thank you

    It is possible through the HTML code. In Notepad, open the file "Topic.slp". On line 35, you will see a list of links:

    You can cut and paste the link to get the correct order. The first tag appears on the left side. Please be sure to cut and paste the entire link ''.

  • 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.

  • Manual large editions with sensitive html setting. Is there a way to determine how the entries appear in the table of contents?

    I publish major textbooks with sensitive html setting. Is there a way to determine how the entries appear in the table of contents? If I publish a small section of the manual then 2nd level entries appear as eruptions under the chapter name, but if I publish the manual in its entirety then level 2 headings are not at all.

    Please help someone

    Kind regards

    Stevie

    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.

  • Missing entries in Table of contents

    I am working on a long document (550 pages...) in InDesign CC 2014 and has created a style of table of contents in order to generate it.

    But for some strange reason some entries are left behind not taken at the table of contents are generated...

    The styles are applied and included in the table of contents style...

    Someone has encountered this problem before?

    I've seen this when the style names are duplicated with capital letter, or there are two copies in groups of different styles (or in a style group), and both have been applied to different parts of the text.

  • 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.

  • Table of contents disorder

    Hello

    Can someone help me with this problem? I have a table of contents set up here, but subtitles are displayed above instead of below chapter headings.

    I gave them the subtitles appropriate levels-Units (level1), Chapters (level2), (niveau3). So I don't know why they are appearing in the wrong order. For example, 4.1 should be good under Chapter 4 before 4.2.

    Please advise,

    Thank you!

    FAKE ads are built pages from the top left corner and down before going to the right, so this kind of problem is generally the result of how the paragraphs are organized on the page your void topics are more to the left than the main titles.

  • Table of contents not be created properly

    Levels does not actually get used to sort the table of contents, unless you sort alphabetically. If sorting by page, the usual cause of things ouot of order is implemented. ID search for images containing paragraphs to be included from the upper left, then down, then up opt to move to the right and down again once, so a framework that is more to the left, even if low on the page, is first.

  • How to export diferent two tables of contents to epub?

    I have been reseraching french forum of responses to the question I have but could ' t find anything for my case. I am a book of plants convert epub. The layout that gave me was the printed version of the book, I use Indesign 5.5 to convert the epub book. For the results of the tests, I use Calibre and a Kindle.

    I was n style texts and images and everything is great except for the table of contents. The author needs to a content page with all the main chapters (h1 title) and an index at the end of the book with all the names of the plants: this has two titles an eglish followed by the Latin version (h2-h3-Latin and English).

    I've created two different styles of toc, one with only the chapter headings, would be at the table of contents at the beginning and the second style is for the index of plants: with the h2 and h3 titles (I checked the alphabetical button in both to have the section index correctly).

    I have two questions: the first is when I try to place each table of contents at the beginning and at the end of the book. On the page, it looks fine, but when I export to epub, I can choose only in the export Panel, one table of contents. The resulting epub has the same table at the beginning and at the end I tried several times to change the position of the tables, export settings, but I never managed to have two different tables on the same epub.

    The second question is when I had expoorted one of these tests using the style 2 for the index, I get an epub with the two tables of the same material, the index is in alphabetical order, but instead of ordering all the plants of a to z he ordered their "pairs" as they appear on the texts (first English title plants the latin equivalent of a second). How can I do to make this index order alphabetically all the h2 and h3? I need all the a, b, c,... indendently of their position in the page.

    Hope the above makes sense.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your offer of Ariel, I'm sure is a good script, but I can't affford it right now.
