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?

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.

  • 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.

  • When I generate the table of contents from a new .book, I get blank pages between each page of the table of contents

    With FrameMaker 2015. When I generate the table of contents from a new .book, I get blank pages between each page of the table of contents, they are totally blank does not even a block of text. I click on Add> autonomous Create TOC. I keep the default settings. And that's what I'm left with.

    Master Pages are part of each document.

    You can import master pages from another document (i.e. a ' model') in your current document using the file > import > Formats... option and select layout from the list (deselect all others).

    If you have changed the current TOC for the problem of the Page Master on the left, then simply save the file and use the Edit > update book option for that OCD regenerated by using the new page templates.

  • I can't get the page numbers in my table of contents to update when I update the book.


    I use Framemaker 11 and I have two tables of contents in my book: one in English and French. Each table of contents to links to various documents in the same book. The reference page for each table of contents is defined and properly displays the positions 1 and 2, I said that it appears, but numbers not updated when the contents of my document files change to another page. I checked the settings of conditional text in my document files; they are correct. When I update the book, I choose to update the numbers, all the cross-references, all text inserts, OLE links, generate a Table of contents, lists, and indexes. What I am doing wrong? Thank you.

    If they are not knocked down, then they are certainly not generated files. See the example in the help of FM11: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/11.0/Using/images/bk_hier_books.png

    The 'K' is a TOC file that FM recognizes a generated file.

    Because you have created your table of the contents of the French with the help of another structure of the book, you could import reference this TOC file in another file of FM (for example to create an inset text) in the main book you want. However, you need to make updates in two steps. First update the French book to revise the table of contents. Then update the main book to get the rest of the correct pages (and given that the table of french contents are imported by reference, FM always uses the most recent version).

    I prefer to put the clip in the Source monitor Panel, then set the points and exit. From there you can simply drag the section of the element in the sequence.

    Or, you can make a subelement, the section will have a distinct element in the bins in the project Panel. You should always keep the original material, but now you can have real subitems to work if you prefer.

  • Apply the Master Page by using the paragraph Style

    Hi all

    I am a beginner in the script. Learn the script through tutorials cs3 scripts.

    According to the paragraph style it automatically applies the master page.

    For example:

    Paragraph style = "CT".      To apply the Master Page = 'A-Master '.

    Paragraph style = "PT";       To apply the Master Page = "B-Master".

    These are the lines I'm working on:

    myDocument var = app.activeDocument;

    var myPStyles = myDocument.paragraphStyles.everyItem () .getElements ();

    myPage var = myDocument.pages.everyItem () .getElements ();

    for (i = 0; i < myPStyles.length; i ++)

    {

    If (myPStyles [i] .appliedParagraphStyle is "CT")

    {

    .appliedMaster myPStyles [i] = 'A-master. "

    }

    }

    Where I have error. Can someone help me solve this problem.

    Thanks in advance engineering...

    Try this one,

    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    var myParas = myDocument.stories.everyItem().paragraphs.everyItem().getElements();
    var myPage = myDocument.pages;
    for(i=0; i

    How to make scrolling text or twisties work in the footer of a master page section?

    We try to add drop-down text menu / twisties in footer of each topic so that our clients can access company, product, technical support of any subject information. To do this, the most logical is to change the master page and add content in the footer.

    But when I open the master page in the main editing view, the ability to add the drop-down list feature is grayed out inside HR.

    I tried to create the footer drop-down content in a separate test topic and then copy and paste directly into the master page. HR removes such content from the minute I'm trying to save him, leaving only the related topics. Example of text that is deleted:

    <? HR-droptext_start class = "droptext" id = "POPUP542020552" style = "" display: none; '? " >

    < class p = "footerpar" > Readme.pdf | < a href = "#" class = "footerlink" > LINK

    HERE < /a > < /p >

    < class p = "footerpar" > printable manuals | < a href = "#" class = "footerlink" > LINK

    HERE < /a > < /p > <? HR-droptext_end? >

    Are there workarounds to accomplish twisties on a section of the footer of a master page without using an external .js file?

    I may try a road .jquery if I can't get HR to behave, but would like to just use the page master itself without other files.

    I finally got drop downs working inside a .hts which is then inside the .htt footer section.

    I discovered that the problems in the CSS I posted in the pictures above are attributable mainly from my own CSS problems.

    However, when I tried to add images twistie, bad new...

    Twisties are all or nothing in RoboHelp. You apply all the drop Downs or None.

    That won't work for us, since our footer is a background more dark.

    So I created my own downfall personalized stockings with jQuery and CSS.

    And they worked!

    Well well, mostly...

    Long story short: it has been a painful week and the other half, mostly spent trying to get this .hts of footer to the appearance and behavior of the way I want it too in my chm. I had to do a LOT of trial and error and additional testing to figure out something that works.

    Things I've learned:

    • Square pegs can go in the round holes with a lot of hammering and a lot of mess.
    • CHMS are old. They are not easier to work with when it comes to the use of styles. Many things are not taken in charge you can do in a normal browser.
    • Under the hood CHMS use IE 7, so you have to use CSS that matches that version.
    • You can work around some limitations that HR requires using methods and tool parts.
    • Use a repository. If you make a mistake or fall a path that you want to cancel or put on the shelf for later, you can do it easily. (I'm really happy that I did. I could come and go between my revisions and see what the code worked and which did not easily).
    • In a repository, use a test project that mimics your production project, including the folder structure, but on a much smaller scale you can do faster chm builds. (I got my footer to work Monday, but when I moved it into our real project, the footer did not work on CHMS in subfolders. So I had to build a workaround for this. I would have seen previously had I better imitated my directory structure.)
    • Don't get so sucked into approach that you neglect other tools or methods that might be simpler. (I spent a good amount of time trying to get HR drop downs working in HR footer when jQuery, once I figured how to make, provided a simpler approach.)

  • On the Master Page of the page style to add changes

    Hello

    I have a question about adding Page Mater in my list of topics, styles of change topic (page)

    I followed ongoing measures are here:

    1: create a project by importing a word doc.

    2: set the Master Page by file > new > Master Page.

    3, select all or a topic in the list of topics > right click > select Properties, and then add the master page

    Do more high style of the steps in the topic in which I added some changes of master page

    Please help

    Thank you

    Hello

    It would seem that the Master Page has an associated Style sheet (CSS file) that differs from the first page you associate with that.

    Fortunately, this is a fairly simple process to re - associate a style sheet given with one or more subjects. Just open the pod of the list of subjects, select all, right click and choose Properties. Click on the appearance tab, and then choose the CSS file.

    You can also change your Master Page so that it references the CSS file. In this way, when you associate it with the subjects, it should carry along the desired reference of the Style sheet.

    See you soon... Rick

  • Using the Master Page

    I am new to Firworks, but hope to get it sorted.

    I created a model of website multi layers in photoshop cs4. By to turn off the layers and I can show the State of the nav system and the resultant page page layouts. I want to use Fireworks to turn this into a model of interactive website with flip, and then click customer through and etc.

    I imported this file .psd FW CS4. Then I put only the ordinary layers like logo, header background, basic nav elements, etc. to be turned on, hide other layers so that designate as a Master Page. So far so good.

    I then create a new page called Home and it is automatically linked to the Master Page (minor confusion: Although the link to the left of the page icon is not active?)

    Now, I want to turn on a few layers to display the homepage of nav in its selected state and display content specific to the Home Page. I can't seem to find a way to get these layers (that I already created) copied from the master page in the new Home Page, so I can show them.

    Maybe I should make use of layer for this State?

    I hope this makes sense. I read all of the help and etc I could find, but it seems to be stuck here.

    DRM for any help!

    You'e welcome. I'm glad that you guessed it sorted. However, next time, put right in FW. Nothing in this prototype

    that FW might not have done as well and in terms of vectors, maybe better. :-)

  • Clear fields on the master page when fluid table goes to the second page

    Good then this is quite annoying, because I have no idea why this is happening.  In my form, I have 5 text fields that users are required to conclude the data personal (name, address, city, State and zip).  These 5 areas are on the master page 1.  I also have a master page 2, which was designed strictly for the flow on the text for a table of expenditure.  The expenditure table drains properly and I have no problems with the calculations but I noticed today that when the expenditure table throw on the second page, the data that the user entered in the 5 text fields clear when the table runs.

    Is this something I need to write code that said once the user leaves the field lock.  This does not seem as if it were necessary, given that many users who also make the fluid fields.

    I'm stumped, any help would be great.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Make sure that the binding for the five fields on the Master Page are set to Global (see object > range of liaison, when objects are selected).

    Hope that helps,

  • Table of contents using 12.0

    I have word documents (.) RTF) who has OCD (with the help of field codes).
    I want to implemented in Documaker after importation in the FAP.

    12.0 release notes claims "* now when you import RTF, DOC or DOCX to Word files, the Studio converts everything."
    * level of orders in these files in bookmarks of Studio. You can then use these *.
    "* bookmarks to create a table of contents for the FAP file."

    Have any of you done this? Thanks in advance!

    Thank you
    Navin.

    While the V12 is the table of contents, it imports it as text, which is not what I want.

    Table of contents feature has existed for some time and works very well for dyanamic documents. Mark you each article/FAP with a table of contents object, mark the level, and then create an object Table of contents or Index at the beginning or at the end of the form if necessary. The update of the system will be autimatically page numbers running, depending on what is included (each section/FAP). If you do not need the dynamic assembly, then you can simply import the RTF/DOC/DCOX as is.

  • Table of contents of decorative Style - extend outward

    Hi all

    I have a class in which I am using the Table of contents (TOC). I try to maintain the maximum screen real estate and have chosen the style of layering (so that the user can show/hide the TOC using the buttons in the top left and bottom right of the screen).

    When appears in the Table of contents, it expands on the content of the slide. Is there a widget or another way to force the Table of contents to expand outwards, and not cover the content of slide?

    I know that I can partially achieve my goal by choosing the distinct style. However, I still want to give to the learner the possibility to show/hide the table of contents. It is difficult for me to say, the resolution of the project decreases when the table of contents with the distinct style are used?

    Thanks for your time and your answers.

    When you use the table of contents separate the total width of the project is increased to account for the width of the table of contents.

    There is no option to drag or move the table of contents, unless you use Overlay OCD.

    As the space allocated to the screen for a separate table of contents would be empty anyway, you might as well get the advantage of having the table of contents is available at all times.

    I generally use Overlay OCD because I need the extra screen real estate.  But a separate table of contents are very desirable, especially for learners who are not all in computer science.
