The chapter Table of contents?

I've been away from FrameMaker for awhile, but I am now back, the FM 8.0p277 on Windows. What is the the less painful way to add a table of contents within a chapter (individual file in a book)? Is it use special > Table of contents for each chapter, and then import this TOC in each chapter? I saw mention of an add-on - Systec Toolbox - somewhere, but I can't find a good URL for it.

The company I'm contracting for now manually add ref Cross (title and page no.) in a table. It is so-o-o-o painful. I like the table. Can I safely import the TOC file in a table cell? How could I get formatting and tab set up - in the TOC file or the file of chapter?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and advice.

Gloria,

The only real trap with OCD as a medallion of text is to remember to update it for updating the book. Make a check list and stick to it.

  • Chapter with Figures OCD does not end up in the main table of contents

    At the end of my document. I have a list of numbers. This list of figures has its name in my chapter paragraph Style. At the beginning of my document, I have a main table of contents. When I update the table of contents, list of figures chapter would end up in the main table of contents. Is there something I can do to fix that? I was thinking of a hidden layer with a second title of chapter for a list of Figures, but it's a hack. Is there a better way?

    I was able to get the table of contents to update correctly. I did two things, and I don't know which was the right one, or if you need to do both, but here's what worked:

    Export the list in the history of the figures to tagged text, and then disable Smart Rflow text and remove all executives who are in this thread, so history has completely disappeared from the file (but the pages are left behind). File > Place... and choose the story exported and auto-flow, then select those images and change the number of columns. Now, select and delete the existing text in the history of the table of contents (I left executives), then layout > TOC and regenerate.

  • Adding a button before the button table of contents in a WebHelp Pro navigation bar

    My customer wants to add a "Home" button to the left of the button table of contents in the navigation bar. I can button ad to the right of the 'standard' buttons: table of contents, search, print, and glossary, but even if I go and edit the skn file and add the 'Home' botton before the table of contents one, it always displays to the right. Is that all that I'm missing?

    Hello

    I have HR server, so it's kinda a guess but I think as a method of work.

    Change the order of the toolbar in the whstart.js file.

    1. in the whstart.js file, go to line 184 (RH10), it has the text ElseIf (nMsgId == WH_MSG_TOOLBARORDER).

    2. we will find the opening brace, add the following code:

    oMsg.oParam = "CUSTOM" TOC | GLO | IDX | FTS | blackblock | searchform | banner ";

    Returns false;

    3. open whskin_tbars.htm and go to the bottom of the file to find some calls starting with addButton.

    4 Copyt the id of the button (customxxxx) and replace the CUSTOM in the whstart.js file text.

    Change whskin_tbars.htm

    1. open whskin_tbars.htm

    2. go in the bottom of the file and find some calls starting with addButton.

    3. fix the lines in the order you want the buttons to appear. (Remember the "blankblock" button to push some content to the right of the toolbar.

    4. remove the call to the ReSortToolbarButtons() function in the whskin_tbars.js file.

    If WebHelp always use the buttons, try adding return false; as the first code of the ReSortToolbarButtons() function in the whtbar.js file

    Hope this helps,

  • Hide the items in the menu table of contents

    Hello!

    I'm doing an iPad magazine and I have a question about the menu table of contents.

    So, I wouldn't have the other articles in this section to display in the menu table of contents.

    How can I do? The only way I know to leave items on the menu of the table of contents should mark them as ads.

    Which is the way to do it or there at - it another way to solve my problem?

    Another question about metadata, you must enter. That means "Tags"? What to write here?

  • Unable to translate the text strings in the menu table of contents (Cp5)

    Heyo,

    I am creating the French eLearning with Captivate 5 language. As part of this process had to make a version in French of our existing PlayBar (which was an adaptation of the BlackGlass.fla AS3 playbar file that comes with Captivate 5).

    I was able to update all channels language of Flash CS5 from the video for location (there are instructions in the ActionScript code that indicates where this). However, the table of contents menu that opens doesn't have strings translated, as I yelled at my screen shot below. There are at least four strings that need translation: bookmark (that appears as a ToolTip when you hover over the star in the upper left corner), the slide title, duration and Minutes (bottom).

    As far as I know, this logical problem because the bar read FLA files provided do not appear to contain the menu table of contents, only the button table of contents. However, there is nowhere the Captivate software where I can see the ability to change it. Is - this bug I should report?

  • Adobe Captivate 7 - How to create a custom without the function table of contents table of contents?

    Hello

    I want to create a table of contents in my E-Learning-project because the automatically generated TOC of Adobe Captivate 7 includes all the features I need to check for example chapters which are the groups in the film strip.


    I use master slides in my project.
    The table of contents, I need must be designed and programmed as follows:

    1 intro / title slides

    9 chapters

    The progress of the work - 3 status - all chapters should be moved by symbols in the table of contents

    Symbol 1: chapter has not yet begun (just an empty box)

    Side 2: chapter is work in progress (a square with a green triangle inside)
    Side 3: chapter is finished that means that all of the slides in this chapter are read (the square is filled with a green square)

    All the chapters and Points to the table of contents must be clickable (links) maybe with a mouse over effect (change in colour of mouse) and should start to the first slide of this chapter.

    The chapter which is open must be written in bold with one blue color, others who are not open to be written in the normal font with a black color

    I think it's a little complex, but solutionable.

    I think I need to create three symbols of the buttons form, advanced actions that tend to fade and fade out named symbols.

    Is there someone who can describe the process of creation? Where should I place all the functions, actions and so on? On the slide master?

    Thank you for the answers!

    The only thing I can say about it is that I build it in Flash, so it could be dynamic and reusable.

    If you take the time to build a PC inside it only works for one project. Certainly you would have a base to work from, but for a another edition project wouldn't be fun.

    If you need HTML5, I think it would be much more difficult to build a dynamic table of contents.

  • How to prevent the blades to move forward in the automatic table of contents?

  • Creating hyperlink in the generated table of contents

    Hello

    I use InDesign CS4 and the difficulty to create hyperlinks in my automatically generated by Table of contents. I can create the destination in the document, but then the opportunity to create the new hyperlink (from Interactive menu drop-down) in the table of contents has disappeared. Option is not visible anywhere elsewhere in the document, or if I create manually the table of contents, just doesn't seem to work with generated automatically a.  Does anyone know if this is a known problem in CS4?

  • Chapter number on the same line as the title of chapter in the Table of contents

    How can I get the chapter number on the same line as the title of chapter in the automatic table of contents (page layout: Table of contents)? I want to have the number followed by a period, like this: "1. the chapter title" with the page number on the right (no problem with the page number). See the picture of what has gone wrong. I wonder if I put chapter numbers in a separate text box in the document without a paragraph break after the number. I know I can change at the end, but do not want to lose the settings with the updates.

  • Table of contents chapter-level and book

    I have a book that is a reference book which becomes large enough, over 1 k pages. For clarity, I'll call you every file INDD support a 'chapter '. What I would like is to have a table of contents of the book-level which has just the chapter titles and their page indicated from the start numbers then each chapter table of contents chapter-level that goes into the details of the level of the page. Do all this from the outset makes for a massive TOC. I want my readers to be able to access a chapter and then discern the pages they need there.

    The table of contents to the book level is quite easy. It's the chapters that give me bad.

    The only way I was able to do this is to generate the detailed table of contents and then copy/paste the tips in each chapter. As you can imagine this is tedious and error-prone.

    Is it possible to have the table of contents chapter-level generated automatically, but limited only to pages in the current INDD file?

    My apologies if this was asked before. Have read many articles here, but have not found the answer, I am looking. Looking.

    InDesign CC 2015.2 on Win10.

    You can create a table of contents for each chapter. For example:

    • Opened Chapter 1
    • Add a new page 1 (or more if necessary.)
    • On the 1st page again, choose page layout > Table of contents
    • Add paragraph Styles
    • Uncheck include book Documents to only pick up the styles in this file

    Repeat for each chapter.

  • Table of contents for the edition of ePub paragraph style

    I am trying to figure if InDesign can allow us to the editor the dynamic table of contents. What we have is essentially the following:

    Chapter number (single paragraph style)

    Chapter title (single paragraph style)

    First paragraph (single paragraph style)

    We want that the ToC that gets pulled up in an eBook reader to show this:

    Chapter 1: Chapter title

    Chapter 2: Chapter title

    At present, only InDesign appears to export each as a specific paragraph style, without setting them on the same line side by side. We're stuck with:

    Chapter 1

    Chapter title

    Chapter 2

    Chapter title

    Does anyone know of a way to export the ePub is what we want rather than this broken hirarchically way?

    There is no good way to do it. We must either go to the ePub after export, or change the style, so there's a return between the chapter number and chapter title instead of a return. The second option will involve completely restyling, and get in there colon will be delicate.

  • Why the names of my chapters are not displayed in the table of contents?

    Hello. I use Indesign & DPS simple editing to make an application. In Indesign, I created several different documents that I used to make items that I put together in a Folio.  I saw it using the tool preview Adobe & on the iPad using Adobe Content Viewer. When I select the button table of contents I see thumbnail screenshots of the first page of each chapter, but no text chapter name.  For each of the documents that I used to make items that I named them after the chapter they represent, which is what I thought each chapter name defined.

    The strange thing is that before I did a couple of test folios and they do not have the name of chapter text. So what can I do to display the chapter name in the table of contents?

    Also, is there a way to change change the thumbnail used by the table of contents?

    Thank you

    The answer to both questions is in the Article Properties dialog box. Select the item in the Folio Builder Panel and choose Properties from the context menu. Specify the name of the chapter of "Title" - which is probably empty now. (There is a difference between an article name and a title of the article. The name is used for internal purposes, such as the binding, and the title appears in the application).

    At the bottom of this dialog box, you see a preview of the Table of contents. Click the folder icon and specify a PNG of 70 x 70 that you design.

  • 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

    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.
