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

  • Has anyone who has worked with doc us MIL - STD and generated with the success of the page numbers in the table of contents?

    I'm creating a template using FrameMaker 7.2.

    MIL - STD dictates works package (such as chapters) page numbers in the format: 0001-1, 2-0001, 0002-1 and 2-0002, etc.

    The problem I encounter draws in this format of the page number in the table of contents generated.

    I used a variable on the Master Page, and generate page numbers in each package to work properly.

    I know that in point 7.2 of the FM, you cannot include a variable in a table of contents generated.

    So I tried changing the variable on the Master Page to text using a paragraph tag (WPnumber), but have not gotten it either works.

    Tried all the other stuff I could think of, too.

    In my view, a part of the problem is that FM cannot have leading zeros when you set the page number or chapter (understandable 99.9% of the time).

    If anyone has suggestions or solutions, I am very interested to hear.

    Thank you.

    1Editor - and puzzled

    I already manually put the zeros.

    I just want to be clear that strikes the zeros directly on the master page does NOT have to include in the table of contents. You then type in the context of the reference to the table of contents also. In addition, you must have separate template and reference pages for chapters 10, 11, etc., in order to obtain the number of zeros correctly.

    With my method, the zeros are introduced as part of the chapternumber itself, in the chapter number of the TEXT. You still have to type but only once for each file.

  • Page numbering and the Table of contents

    I have a book containing 23 document files. Document files contain the page numbers in the footer.

    One of the document file is a generated table of contents (TOC). Unfortunately, the generated page

    the number in the table of contents do not match the numbering of the pages in the files. Here are the details:

    • The title page, in a file by itself, is not numbered
    • The frontmatter, distributed in five cases use lowercase Roman (i - xvi)
    • The body of the text in the remaining 17 files is digital (1-243)
    • The generated TOC uses cardinal numbers of the book as a whole. For example,.
      Chapter I is numbered correctly in the footer from page 1. However, he is listed in the table of contents
      as starting on page 19, because this is the file real 19th in the book. I put the document numbering
      This file from 1 properties and properties of Page numbering for the book as a whole to
      be "continue."
    • The style of the table of contents entries is correct. In other words, the frontmatter uses a tiny Roman and the
      chapters use Numeric

    I tried to regenerate the table of contents, but this did not help.

    Does anyone have suggestions on what is the way prescribed to do?

    OK, I continued to read and this is what I found:

    Set the numbering style in the document, and not in the book that we told you. Format > Document > numbering. Choose Arabic or digital. Repeat for the various chapters.

    Save and close the chapters. In the book file, click with the right button on each chapter and choose Configure XXX. This is where tell you the book to continue the page numbering or restart at the 1.

    Once this is done, update your address. From there, if there are issues, we rely on the logic of the Fm we use every day, and each of us can help you solve.

  • Pages is wrapping the row number in the table of contents

    So, I have a document with two paragraph styles I want to include in the table of contents.  A style with page numbers and the other without.  So I insert a table of contents (it's in its own section, because I want the table of contents to be their own style page numbers) and I get the table of contents, but instead of text that is labeled with the style of the paragraph to the left and right page numbers, I get the text containing the tag with the style of the paragraph to the left and then click the line below (no paragraph don't symbols even if it's on the next line) a blue arrow pointing to the right in the middle of the table of contents box, then on the next line (once more no paragraph symbol), to the left I get the page number.

    Anyone know what is happening or how to get the right page number on the same line as the text?

    The problem of termination of the link could be avoided by using a Unicode open license text font which is similar to your favorite title font and adding glyphs to icon for private use. Then there is no change of character format in the relevant TOC entries. Of course, turning your icons in glyph police presume you have vector art for them which is easily converted to outlines, otherwise it will be a great effort.

  • In the table of content design

    Can anyone help please?

    I have a problem with the creation of table of contents and change the order of the paragraph styles. For example, in the document, I have the title and the author defined as style. I want the author to come first, followed by the title with a page number in the table of contents. I get almost work, but page numbers are disabled.

    Thank you

    In the table of contents, you have two options for the order, pages or alphabetical order. If you use the command page, ID goes to the things on the list in the order that he finds them on the page, and he starts the search in the upper left corner and works down before moving to the right.

    You may be able to solve your problem ensuring that the name of the author is in a framework that extends to the left that part of the chapter title. A screenshot of the page in question would be a big help, with the contours of the block and the display invisible characters. Use the camera icon on the edit page of the Web site to integrate the image.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Problem with the implementation of the page number in the BATCH and LOF

    I did a lot of books with table of contents, the LOT and LOF all work fine.  They look all pretty normal:

    Table 123 - table... name < page number >

    or

    Figure 123 - name Figure... < page number >

    But now I have a case where the «...» ' is not the case, and the <>page number is just crushed against the table name without a space between the name and the page number.  This happens only to the BATCH and LOF.  The table of contents looks very good.

    I guess it's something in the Pages of reference that I messed up, but I can't understand what happened so I can fix it.

    Any ideas?

    FOUND!  Thanks Bob for pointing me in the right direction.  It was exactly this tab stop setting.  The editor is in Europe (narrow pages).  So, while our records (with the size of the American page) and their corresponding files, I found that the framework does not KNOW a tab stop that pushes the text beyond the right margin.  When I reduced the tab stop it as magically started working.

    The silence of the tab stop ignorant was the confusing part.  He was there when you looked into the source files, it just never appeared in the finished product, and there is NOTHING to indicate why!
