Table of contents, Page number on the left if the tab is too short

Sorry about the title of coplex, couldn't happen to a better.

Is there a solution to the table of contents of style then the page number never ends on the left side? Everything works fine if the topics listed in the TOC spans on one or more lines.

But if the listed topic ends exactly at the end of a line (in the table of contents), the page number appears on the left side of the next line. (I have a ^ t between the entrance and the number in the table of contents style.) If a single word in flows in the line below, the table of contents correctly adds the... (dotted) and place the pagenumber to the right.

Can I modify the paragraph Style from table of contents or TOC Style so that the number is right-aligned, even if there is no prior entry (which is on the line above).

Example of the problem:

Correct / Normal... 1
This title is exact a row of table of contents
2

I would also put the option "Balance unbalanced lines.

  • Cannot change the table of Contents Page icons in RH10

    I adapted successfully table of Contents Page icons in the previous versions, but in RH10, option seems to be missing. After past the method as well as help boards & Forums, I have pod TOC page right-click, choose Properties, Advanced tab, but once there all I see are the image and comment options. There is no option to change the icon of the automobile to a different style in a drop-down list (because I expected to see under Advanced). My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. Either by the way, I used this feature in the past to indicate a subject that has new features or topics of a different nature.

    Hello

    I have RH10 in front of me at the moment, so I paint entirely from memory on this.

    When you look at your single Source Layouts pod, which is the main provision on?

    If it is not configured for Microsoft HTML Help, find this layout and right click. Then propose that it be the main provision. Once you do this, I'd be willing to bet a dollar against a doughnut that you will now see the option to change the icons.

    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 does not on the page

    Hello

    I'm working on single-level TOC. I created a table of contents style.

    However, after inserting the table of contents (by clicking 'Ok'), I get the following message:

    1.PNG

    I'm not sure what this means. And if I click on 'Yes', I get the following message:

    2.PNG

    Yet once again, im not sure why I see this message, because there is no existing table of contents. When you click on 'OK' I do not see a busy cursor and there is no visible TOC on the page.

    ID appreciate your help.

    Thank you

    Overset text indicates that you have a text in one or several images which does not appear anywhere in a document. Double-click the red light at the bottom of the document window to open the preflight Panel. Click on the triangles to expose problems. This file has two instances of overset text. Click on the page number on the far right access to one of the examples of problem:

    Overset text icon is one more red in the lower right of the frame.

    There was no place to make this framework any longer, so I've added columns and now all the text fits. A port to clear signals the end of the document. The preflight panel shows now only remaining error, I would set the same way.

    The table of contents can generate very well with overset text, both positions are visible. But you're not finished with the layout until you have solved all the problems of overset text, InDesign tries to help by alerting you of the situation.

  • Table of contents, problems in applying the character style

    Hi all

    This is my first post, I checked if there was already something similar, but I can't find anything so I'm asking here.

    I work with Indesign 9.3 and I created a book of 80 pages and there are 20 + chapters.

    I wanted to create a table of contents, so I made an and I put my paragraph for her style, but I had problems to set the character style (he set only to the number of the page, but not to the number and the name of the chapter).

    When I create my summary style I have no problem to indicate the paragraph style that you want to use (and then it automatically applies it properly when I generate my list).

    The problem I want to solve, is that I need that my table of contents automatically the value of the character style, cause, for the moment, I have to apply it after its generation.

    Sorry for my bad English, I hope you understood

    In this case you must use the character for numers style nested within the paragraph style

    I'm usually two independent sparagraph styles (primary materials) chapters and sections (toc details). In this way, you can add a different same nested character style to stand them.

  • Table of contents - do not enter the table header overflow

    Hey,.

    In my table of contents, I listed two styles:

    1 table of contents Title Page

    2 - the ToC table header

    I also have my table set up correctly - headers, so when a Table flows to a second page - table headers appear in this second page as it should. The tables are large - and not the way to avoid overflow. I think that the principle is called "Text Threading" - but it also works with the tables.

    In the majority of cases - the implementation works perfectly.

    HOWEVER when the table flows to a second page - TocTable header does not appear in the Table of contents regenerated.

    For example, the table of contents looks like this:

    Electric Page 6

    Machine X - Y - Z Page 6

    Electric Page 7

    Electric Page 8

    When it SHOULD look like this:

    Electric Page 6

    Machine X - Y - Z Page 6

    Electric Page 7

    Machine X - Y - Z Page 7

    Electric Page 8

    Machine X - Y - Z Page 8

    Is this possible? I have looked at all - and cannot find all the options.

    Thank you!

    Clarify: X-Y-Z Machine is the title of the table, and he appears in a header row (repetition) over a several page table? And you want each occurrence of table header appear in the table of contents and not only the first occurrence?

    I don't think it will work this way. Header lines is modified on the first page of a table: other pages just repeat the info, but it is not accessible. It would work if you put the title of table above the table (not inside) and it repeated manually at the top of the pages. It's more work, but it will get the desired result. You mentioned that it doesn't happen that often, so maybe that's a doable "workflow" for you.

    That said, most of the TOCs brings you to the first page of a chapter, section, paragraph, and table and do not repeat the entry when the chapter, section, paragraph or a table contains more than one page. If I have sought to your table of contents and wanted to see the section on electricity, I have to stop and wonder what page to go to the first. I think that eventually, I would choose the premiera.

  • How to Master Page page number (and the title of the book) appear on the top?

    Hello

    I tried a long time ago and didn't, but I would try again.

    I've got about seven pages of intro to chapter in my book.  Each of them uses a Master Page that has the title of my book and the page number at the bottom.

    But in each case, I added a content text and background color, and background color covers the number of title and page book down.  I see again the page number and the title, but they are not separate.

    Is there an easy way to keep whatever it is, but have the title and the page number appear ' on top ' (without getting rid of the background color)?

    Best regards, Malcolm

    On your master page, make a new layer and move it to the top of the palette layers. Put your page numbering and title on this layer and then lock the layer so nothing else can be put there.

  • Table of contents does not include the Section prefix

    The pages of this document in particular has a section prefix 'A', so the pages are numbered as well: a-1, A-2, A-3, etc.

    When I run a Table of contents, the table of contents is generated without the prefix, as the following section:

    Section 1... 1

    Section 2... 5

    Section 3... 9


    Is there a way, or something I'm missing from the table of contents is generated as follows:

    ... Section 1 a-1

    Section 2... A-5

    Section 3... A-9


    CS6, TIA


    Discovered the problem. When the numbering, I thought that I had actually created a section prefix. I have not, I just typed in the 'A' before the current Page marker.

    It is not possible to write in a.

    Even I try for the same, but didn't find any solution.

    We ave only two options to display the page number;

    1.) reports under construction Page number option: string will be: page & to &

    2.), we can take 2 text field that displays the page number and the total number of pages with 'from' lable inside the two text fields.

  • Reset the page number for the new RTF (not group data) section

    I am working on a set of maritime documents - Pick and Pack Slip briefs. RTF model has 2 sections for the same group of data (delivery). The waybill is a customer oriented document and sheet of choice is used in the warehouse to fulfill the order. The intention is to print the slip to pick and pack slip together, while the selector may include the packing slip in the package that is shipped. I want that each air waybill to start its page number to 1, but it always starts at the current page number - i.e. If the pick slip is 2 pages long, the leaf pack starts at 3. I tried to use the page number of the RTF/MS Word formatting, but it doesn't seem to work? Is there a way to reset the page number for a new RTF section?

    Can I store the current page number in a variable and use a formula to reset the page number for the waybill?
