Table of contents using 12.0

• Table of contents using a style/section of the master page

  I'm at the top of my head I think... and probably incorrectly to the top of my document.  I hope I can quickly explain where I am:

  Question 1

  I'd like a Table of contents to use 10 section headers that appear throughout my document.  Here's how I set up:

  • In the master page, a place for the header of section and it gives a paragraph style.
  • Then, throughout the document, I used the "numbering and section options" start each new section and give this article is the unique name.

  When I went to generate the Table of contents, I've specified using this particular paragraph style that I used for the section headers, but nothing appears (except for the title, I asked for the General table of contents).  It's as if this isn't to find the sections - or this style (which applies only to the master page).

  Where am I wrong?

  Question 2

  I wish that my Table of contents, not numbered.  How do I do that?

  Shanell

  I don't know that you understood my post. I was able to do exactly what you did - create a master page with a frame and the section marker character (indicating "section" on the master page) and then add the actual text of the marker in the numbering and section options. The text appears on the page of live document.

  When I tried to do a table of contents, text was not resumed UNTIL I selected and carried this master frame on the page of the document (Ctrl + Shift + click on Windows or Cmd + Shift + click on Mac on the image that you want to replace). After substitution, the text appeared as scheduled in the table of contents.

  You're right about the number of page for this page. You can use another master without a page number, or you can cancel and delete the master page number frame. I assume that you will need to use a different master for the first page and pages in any section to avoid having the marker appear on all pages, or you can replace only the first page so that you don't repeat entries in the table of contents for each page of each section.  If you use the marker as a running header Section, you can learn more about Variables header running in the help files in place. In many ways, the use of a variable can be simpler and more direct.

• 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?

• Captivate 5: Table of contents used with playback control bar

  Hi - I want to have the Table of contents, fixed on the left and the bar under the main screen playback control.

  The question is when I put the reading under the screen, there is a gray area to the left of the bar and under the table of contents.

  I also tried the superposition of the play bar on top of the lower part of the screen so it is aligned with the bottom of the table of contents, but there are still 35 gray pixels below the entire film (see attached screenshots).

  Anyone know how to change the gray color that appears in the table of contents?

  Thank you.

  To my knowledge, this is not possible with the standard features of Captivate TOC.  You will have to live with it.

  In fact, I prefer to use the table of contents in overlay mode because it gives me more screen real estate to devote to the course content.  I train my users to wait for this is how the TOC works via a slide of training unique navigatiion placed to the beginning of the intro module in each course.

• Create a table of contents Interactive

  I'm looking for the instructions for how to create a table of contents interactive which allows you to click on a title/chapter/etc, and he takes them to the location in the document specified. Just like the Adobe Handbook at this link.

  https://helpx.Adobe.com/PDF/acrobat_reference.PDF

  How can I do this?

  It is something that must be done before the file is converted to PDF, if possible. In Acrobat is long and difficult.

  However, if your file already contains bookmarks that point to the various sections in it, then they can be converted into a clickable table of contents, using a script.

• Table of contents faints when you try to update or regenerate in CS6

  I work with InDesign CS6 on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

  It is an old document, legacy. Today, I needed to remove two pages, then of course, I need to update my table of contents and the index. I had no problem with the index - it regenerates very well. The table of contents are another matter. I clicked on page layout > Table of contents of update. I received the message indicating that the content has been updated. However, what really happened was the missing TOC text! And it is actually went because I see two markers of empty paragraph where the table of contents used to be. I tried it regeneration instead of doing the update. Same result - it's gone.

  I'm still pretty new in InDesign, so I don't know what I can do to fix this. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Looks like the IDS don't think that there are some paragraphs with the names of style selected for inclusion.

  But I'm not a fan of direct conversion of files inherited because these kinds of things, or worse, happen quite a lot. Try this: remove the corruption of minor exporting

• Should I Debenu PDF aerobatic 12 as a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat to make a Table of contents to an existing PDF

  Colleagues at the forum,

  This is my question, I have a big PDF, 341 pages, another 500 pages, I want to make a table of contents, and I read this Debenu PDF aerobatic 12 program as a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat does not this solution, which allows to quickly create a table of contents, however, the program is expensive at nearly five hundred dollars I wonder why doesn't have Acrobat Professional this service included in the program, if we can get a solution of Table of contents and Index, that would be great. Acrobat has this feature already or do you think I should buy this program. Yes, we can do a table of contents using the word program and then go to the PDF file and the link between that each line of the table of contents to the page, but it would take a lot of time and the solution provided by Debenu sounds like good. I'm looking for your advice because I do not know much in this area.

  Best regards

  Bahri

  Acrobat has this built. Normally, the table of contents is prepared at the same time as the document, possibly in the word, which will use heading styles to do it automatically. It is then converted to PDF. It is very rare to make this work with a PDF file, I guess that's why he isn't a main function of Acrobat.

• 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.

• What is the best way to list the numbers of page and page number ranges in my table of contents?

  I use the feature book to create a catalog.

  Thus, it consists of several files.

  Each file is a 'different' Section that Indesign is concerned.

  Here's my table of contents now:

  

  All page numbers are static.

  Each rounded rectangle, color corresponds to a section (which is a separate file). Some sections have subsections, some don't.

  The catalog changes over time, I would like that all page numbers in the table of contents of auto-update. Less work and less chance of human error.

  I noticed the text variable and tools of text to anchor, but so far have failed.

  What do you recommend?

  I decided to use text Variables.

  -J' I first define the header of each category as a Destination of the hyperlink text.

  - Then I insert a text Variable in the mounting spot in the table of contents, using my simplified page number text variable definition:

  Takes two text Variables with a hyphen between them to express a range of pages. It works well enough.

  A small tip is necessary to the last page of page number. I use a text in the large box in the mount table as a Destination of the hyperlink. He is never seen, but as long as he stays on the right page, it will always give me the page that I need - the last in this section:

  

• Tables of contents, not the substitution of character styles applied in chapters

  My table of contents uses not the style of input I select words in the paragraphs that have styles of characters that are applied in the chapter, so some letters, more precisely the parameters, displayed in green, which is well in the chapter but not in the table of contents. I can manually fix this in the table of contents by changing the character to any style after the table of contents was generated, but I don't want to do that. I think it has to happen automatically.

  This should do it:

  (?<=\()[\w, \w)]*(?="">

  It searches the text in parentheses without selecting them.

• Is it possible to have multiple tables of contents in webhelp output that can be chosen according to the role of the user/client?

  Our product is composed of several modules, for example, the modules-1 thru 8 - module.  We sold all 8 modules or some of them - in different combinations to different customers. I've developed help online in the same direction, that is, in the modules, help-1 to ' help-8. Each help module has its own table of contents.  According to the requirement for a particular client, I integrate the required modules, build the main table of contents using the mini-table of existing materials for each assistance, generate the sequence to browse and compile. This has been my routine until now.

  Now, the product development team would like to automate this process: for example, they want to give me the help of output for the 8 modules in integrated form, as well as tables of contents separate for a combination of different modules for different customers like, assistance, modules 1 to 8, 1-2-3, 1-5-6, etc..  They feel the moment this TOC fell in the output of aid, it should automatically start functioning - without compiling!

  I explained the process used to develop Robohelp projects, how TOCs are built, etc., but they want to know if there is a work around, so that when a customer asks for modules 3, 7 and 8, immediately, they can go down the table of contents (for 3-7-8) at the end of the project, and it should work - without compiling , or anything of that kind. I tried Google and Adobe Forum, but couldn't find something suitable.

  Do you have a solution? A solution to this problem?

  What you need is merged help.

  You generate a parent and all the child projects. You always install the parent and then any child projects, you need. OCD, search and index adjusts automatically. See the pages on my site.

  Note, however, that many people take another view for the development of your product. See all assistance and people then view information about something and realize that they need!

• Table of contents links keep current zoom level do not zoom to full page

  When Indesign creates tables of contents, they automatically connect the paragraphs, links point to, so that in an interactive PDF, clicks and prods take the user to this page. Large.

  Is what is not so great that hypertext links / references / jump-links / whatever born behind the scenes within the table of contents seem to be:

  1. .. .be is automatically set to reset the zoom to width full page
  2. .. .not be changed somehow

  Normal cross references keep the level of zoom that the user chose and normal hyperlinks that point to a page in the document have a range of settings on this change of zoom level (if any) must be imposed on the user, which can be set to "inherit zoom".

  How can I set up a table of contents bothering users by resetting their chosen artitrary default zoom level when using the interactive table of content?

  I really hope that I don't have a gap table of content feature Indesign and create all the cross-references manually.

  (edited) So it turns out that you can "expand" a table of contents by copying and pasting - it fills the hyperlinks with links that can be edited (as above), but the auto-update breaks - there are a table of contents, they are just one block from text full of links. (I got different copies mixed up when I thought that the framework that the editable links was also-automatic update)

  Aging out of the links is a red herring, just something to do with the fact that they were on a master page.

  This means that a possible OCD workflow is:

  • Create a table of contents on the pasteboard somewhere.
  • Before finalizing the document, to update the table of contents and alt-do drag the table of contents 'live' creates an editable of 'dead' copy in a suitable place in the document
  • Change the properties of the links links in the 'dead' copy (remember that you can select several hyperlinks at once by holding down the SHIFT key and change things like the Zoom all at once with the hyperlink Options setting from the context menu of hyperlinks).

  Then if you make further changes to the document later, remove the copy dead, update and re - copy the live original and redo the changes to the new copy

  This isn't a bad way - it adds just on the work of a minute, each time you export a PDF file (delete and update TOC, alt drag, shift-select the new batch of.) XXXX links at the bottom of the hyperlinks Panel, > hyperlink, Zoom setting Options > Inherit Zoom, actually).

  Otherwise, you may build manually to a table of contents using cross references, if you want the links to the exact position on the page, not just the top of the appropriate page.

• How can I include the header of the table of contents in the table of contents?

  I prepare a table of contents in InDesign CS3 (Macintosh OSX 10.5.8)

  I added all the paragraph styles to the list of paragraph styles, I have want to appear in my Table of contents.

  However, I would also like the table of contents itself appear in the table of contents:

  In the case of the table of contents is placed on page 3, he want it looks like this

  Table of contents:

  Title page... page 1

  Thanks... page 2

  Table of contents... .page 3

  Table of figure... page 6

  Chapter 1... page 10

  and so on...

  I have included the paragraph style in the list of paragraph styles, I want to have in my table of contents. But this does not have an entry in my table of contents that is named "table of contents".

  I would be grateful for any advice.

  Thanks in advance

  To do this add a nonprinting frame to Page 3 and add the words Table of contents using one of your styles that is picked up.

• Update or create a new table of contents

  Here a strange-

  Attempt to create a table of contents for a catalog-57pages... I created a specific paragraph style I used to categories of label on the top of each page of the catalogue. Then, I created a table of contents using the style of paragraph worked as advertised... Well I went through an edition almost all categories on each page I want to make it a little more accurate. I clicked on "update the table of contents" and I get: "the destination you have chosen is a hidden and already used by a different hyperlink." A hidden destination cannot be shared by multiple hyperlinks... I checked ALL categories and ensured that all text fit in the frames. I've removed the table of contents and has tried to create a new one and got the same error. Really don't know what I'm missing here as it was the ONLY thing that I did edit the categories some... In addition, I don't know of any other information that I provide here to show you the whole. I thank in advance for any help, you may be able to provide!

  Try to move pages (without the table of contents) in a new document.
