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.

  • 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:

  • Table of contents for the issue of the ePub

    InDesign CS5; Mac OS 10.6.5

    When I export my TOC document to ePub, do not show the table of contents, only the last two pages with text and an image.

    The table of contents defined paragraph styles. I think I have my correct export settings.

    Help to isolate this problem is appreciated.

    Note: Display of other documents in the book via ePub export display correctly, although the book must refine to ePub format.

    Also, when I tried to export the entire book through the book panel, InDesign starts export, but no activity in the progress bar. I have to force quit to get out of the endless loop. Then when I restart InDesign, Untitled files begin to open, 10, 20 and so on. So, I have to manually close each file.

    I suspect that OCD is causing this issue.

    Yes, that's correct. Once I've re-recorded old files "CS" in the new version, including the file book. Everything worked well.

  • How to remove the header and page number when converting to PDF

    I am using Windows 7 and you have Acrobat 8.1 installed. When I right click on a .txt file and choose "Convert to Adobe PDF" in the context menu, it will save a pdf file in the same folder as my file with the same file name .txt. When I open the pdf file, there is a header with the file name and page numbers at the bottom.

    How can I adjust the preferences to omit the header and page numbers? I have a click with the right button on the Adobe PDF printer in the control panel "Printers" and looked through properties and 'Adobe PDF settings' in the preferences, but don't find any options for headers and footers.

    Thanks in advance.

    What you describe is based on the configuration of the running text editor.
    Here, the configuration is such that the content described is part of what is migrated to the PDF file when the PDF is created.

    Modify the appropriate configuration of the text editor and the created PDF will no longer spam.

    Example - using Notepad window:

    Click path = file - layout

    In the presented dialog box, you can adjust the configuration.

    While Acrobat "PDFMaker" allows configure us the interactive "improvements" and others as in a file PDF created, it is always application configuration of creating files creation that sets the 'meat and potatoes' of the content of the PDF created.

    Be well...

  • Table of contents: not positioned wrong page numbers

    When I create my "list of Figures" (A Table of contents item type) I get ugly results such as (p83 and p84):

    Screen Shot 2014-02-05 at 5 February 14.21.49.png

    and (p105)

    Screen Shot 2014-02-05 at 5 February 14.22.13.png

    There is not always a dashed line and page numbers are not always end on the right. Is there a way I can influence it?

    I found a solution, less elegant, but it seemed to work in my little test. Add a GREP style to your paragraph to add a character without pause style tab and the number. (This corrects the independent left-aligned numbers).

    Then do a search and repalce to add a space before the tabs. The result is far from ideal, because it leaves a space between the text and the leader, but it seems to solve the problems of end of line too tight.

  • How do you control the position and size of the images, IE. photo to the printer?

    HP Officejet 8600

    Windows XP

    I'm trying to figure out how to control the position and the size of the photos or photos that are included in an email that I send to my printer via HP ePrint.

    Hello. The process that I mentioned using Word provided that if we were send emails to the printer from a computer. If you just transfer emails from the iPhone to the printer there is no option to control the position of the jpg print. This isn't something that can be handled right now on ePrint.  The attachment will be printed on a separate page. The body of the email will be printed separately of the spare part.

  • How hide the table of contents in the body of an e-book?

    Hey people, I'm kind of a weird request. Do not forget that everything I know about InDesign, I taught myself for a month, so I can miss major somethng.

    As an intern, I am creating ebooks and I have to make sure that those I create the same look as the ebooks previously created for my employer (better yet, I had to do it from scratch!). In their previous ebooks (EPUB file format) the table of contents posted by the ereader clearly indicates a specific style of OCD was used to create (he titles and subtitles, so it is not just the default style that draws from the file names), BUT there is NO table of contents anywhere in the body of the ebook itself. There is also no blank page where a table of contents can be hidden with a hidden layer.

    I created a table of contents to match style to them, but I can't it appears in the drop-down menu Styles TOC when I go to export EPUB book file unless the document of the table of contents is also included in the book file, and as I said, I can't get the table of contents in the body of the ebook itself just in the menu that is displayed by an ereader.

    Any advice?

    Did you use dialogue style of content Table to create a new style of table of contents? If so, then the new table of contents style must appear in the drop-down list TOC Style selected in the dialog box in the Navigation options to export EPUB.

  • Why does my merged project display 2 table of contents for the first project/start?

    I use RH8 and windows 7 and generate Webhelp

    When I generate my merged project I get 2 table of contents of the first project. When I click on other merged projects disappears from the table of contents 2nd and all is well.

    Also, I can't return to my first / start window.

    How stop the TOC 2 on the first page of the project start and how do I display so I can access it later.

    Any help is appreciated.

    The start page is not a topic. This is what opens the three components and the topic you see in that is the default theme.

    By default, HR takes the name of your project and which initially applies the page so if your project is called redrabbit, the start page will be redrabbit.htm.

    Many authors can call the redrabbit of the theme by default as it is the name of the project and it seems logical.

    Problem is when the wizard attempts to use it as the default value for the start page, the name is used for the number 1 is added.

    This means that you end up with redrabbit and redrabbit1. If you look in the wizard, you will see the name of the start page, first on the ground. You do not redirect, that redirect you to the default topic that is longer than down in the page of the wizard. The index is that the field is called the default theme.

  • Several table of contents in the document

    Hello

    I'm new in the FM8. I recently received a document FM8. The structure of the document is:

    Each document file corresponds to a chapter. Each chapter has a table of contents for its secondary headings and paragraphs.

    Table of contents (here is the chapter of 1 to 10, that chapters)

    Is then Chapter 1 includes a table of contents with all subtitles and paragraphs (for example 1.1, 1.1.1 and so on)

    Chapter 2-10 similarly.

    This isn't everything.

    Chapter 7, 8, 9 and 10 are placed in different folders, corresponding with the title of chapters. The rest of them (Chapter 1 to 6) are placed in the same folder.

    For chapters 7, 8, 9 and 10, I managed to update the second table of contents (which contains subtitles and subsections - for example 1.1, 1.1.1 etc..)

    There is in the main folder that contains the rest of the chapters of the files of table of contents for the main Table of contents and the contents of subeahds and paragraohs corresponding to each chapter. Here, I have problems with their updated because when I opened the book and update only the main table of contents will be updated. The problem appears when I create a PDF file. Because after the creation of PDF when I click on a chapter name in the table of contents it will bring me to the chapter I want to but when I click on the table of contents for subtitles/paragraphs that has nothing happened, except for chapters 7, 8, 9 and 10.

    So, to be more explicit.

    When I click on Chapter 7 in format pdf, acrobat will send me to Chapter 7 where I find another OCD where if I click subead 7.3 that he send me to the page that includes the chapter 7.3. On the contrary if I click on Chapter 4 it will bring me to the page corresponding to Chapter 4, but if I click subtitle 4.3 that nothing will happen.

    I will attach an example of this PDF.

    The structure of the file looks like this:

    Chapter 7 the folder:

    -Book

    -The TOC file Chapter 7

    -Chapter 7 (same goes for Chapter 8, 9 and 10)

    The project folder

    -Book (it contains all files from Chapter 1 to 10)

    -File table of contents (the main table of contents)

    -Files table of contents of the chapters

    -files of the chapters

    Thank you. Any help will be appreciated.

  • Table of contents of the printed Documentation

    How can I specify the location of the table of contents in the printed documentation? I would like it to appear after the title page, but it still appears before her.

    It's true. The title page which is created by the printed documentation is a default start page that you have little control over. If you imported a word document that already contains a title page that does not appear before the table of contents because the HR doesn't recognize it as such. Those of us who create print usually do as you describe. We create a generic title page that is stored in a separate word file. Then we generate the output and copy the frontispiece. You need to remove the title page of the printed good documentation process, otherwise you'll end up with both of them! I hope this helps.

  • 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?

    What is the version of iBooks that you speak? There is an online version here: https://help.apple.com/ipod-touch/9/ Aha, I see the table of contents on the left disappears if you zoom before or make the narrow window and reappears if zoom you out or make it larger.

  • Dynamic content on the 2nd landing page (confirmation page)

    I read a few posts, but the explanations were not very clear to me, so looking for direct help.

    I have an email which redirects the customer to a landing with a form page.  The dynamic content on this page works as expected.

    By submitting the form, the client is redirected to a 2nd Eloqua landing page (a 'Thank you' page).  On this page, dynamic content does not work.

    First of all... WHY HE JUST DOESN'T WORK?  They are two Eloqua landing pages, if the cookie is there and the first form could easily pass the visitor/contact/email info, so that the content of the 2nd landing page works as expected.  This should be a built-in feature that shouldn't need of extra effort.

    As it is, I tried to implement a population form Cloud Connector (so far unsuccessfully), add a form hidden on the 2nd page of launch.

    It seems that people have got it works, but the complete set of steps is not clear.  Help!

    Thank you

    Jim

    You need:

    1. A form to the email address field
    2. A processing step "Contact - Form Data Update" that maps Email address Source field-to-field target E-mail address
    3. The bottom of treatment in the left panel is a button '@'.  It must be mapped form field Email Address to the address Email of Contact field
  • Indented in the table of contents is not retained in the table of contents of the document

    Hi all

    I use RH7 on a Windows XP Professional platform.

    I am generating documentation and indentation in the table of contents generated in the document is not the same, not even close, as the project.

    I tried to use HTML heading levels maintain checkbox, but while titles fonts are better, indentation in the table of contents for the document is getting worse.

    When I disable this checkbox, it will give me a decent indentation in the table of contents, however the fonts used for headings in the document are sometimes more small then one used for normal text.

    Does anyone has an idea how I could fix it? I don't want to do too much formatting in the Word document either, because it takes a long time.

    Thank you

    Thus in the document that you want to book either title 1 and 2 book 2 and in the table of contents you want this?

    As you can see, this is what I have in the TOC and the body is as described above.

    If you select HTML to maintain levels, you will always get the above with the titles of books but third topic will become a heading 1, as it should with this option checked.

    I maps to a Word template where the TOC styles are defined to be indented as above. Maybe you have to match to a Word template, or if you are, you just need to tweek styles in it.

  • How insert/edit a table of contents in the Bookmap?

    Hi all

    I am quite puzzled, how to use a bookmap to create a full PDF with table of contents to FM9? Everyone (well almost...) wants to OCD but I found nothing in the help and did not try it myself. It seems that I would need to insert a table of contents in the frontmatter section.

    Please excuse if there is already a thread, a link would be useful I have search but can't find this problem in the forum. Maybe it's so simple that I'm the only guy to have problems.

    I also read in FM10 help but found nothing there either. All information is available from adobe at all? Update to FM10 would be an option if needed.

    Hi Robert...

    FM-DITA (any version) does not support the automatic generation of a table of contents, Index, etc. a bookmap book lists entry. To create a generated list, you must manually add this element in the generated directory file and regenerate your book. You'll want to do it anyway so that you can assign paging and numbering and apply special models. This procedure is still the best way to manage the map of generating the address of the DITA standard FM...

    Other hand (here is the sales pitch)... If you use DITA-FMx, it is provided automatically. Once you have set up the INI file of book-building with the properties and characteristics in the book, lists of books that add you to the bookmap will become good listings and all your pagination and numbering is applied correctly (in addition to loads of other features).
