two instances of numbering in Table of contents
Hello
Whenever I place OCD I get two instances of numbering (1, 1.1, 1.2. 3.1, 3.2) in my table of contents:
Lee is the "content" section:
Lee is the parameters of the table of contents:
I tried to work with the different style settings to avoid 2 instances of several levels of numbering without result.
appreciate your help.
Thank you
You can use a second, dedicated, style for TOC ads themselves, rather than "same style." If this style is NOT a numbered list, you can keep the choice of full paragraph for what to include in numbered paragraphs.

How to choose chapter numbers in table of contents headers?
Each new chapter title is in a table of one row and two columns. Column 1 contains only a large number (numbered style called ChapNum) against a shaded background and column 2 (shaded) contains the title of the chapter (Heading1 - which is NOT numbered; only the style of column 1 contains numbering.)
The only exceptions are the Preface (a title 1) chapter and the table of contents itself (which uses TOCTitle so it will not appear in the table of contents). For both, the shaded column 1 uses a style called ChapNoNum.
Layout a sideheads. first page of each numbered chapter looks like this:
|-----|--------------------------|
| | |
| 1 | Heading1.
|-----|--------------------------|
| | text text text text text |
| | text text text text text |

----------------------------------I want the table of contents to pick up numbers chapter as follows:

| | TABLE OF CONTENTS |
|-----|--------------------------|
| | Preface... 1.
| | 1 getting started... 3.
| | 2. more things... 5.
| | 3 troubleshooting... 9.----------------------------------
But the table of contents contains only the Heading1s, which are not numbered. How to include the ChapNum in front of the title 1 in the table of contents? (I tried to use graphical boxes on master pages, instead of the rows in the table on the page body, but have not found the answer it.)
Any help is welcome.

Table of contents specified only captures paragraph formats. Chapter numbers are not specified in the table of contents, so they are not captured. To capture the number and paragraphs of title, you must specify both formats in implementing TOC. For race number in the title, you must assign a paragraph format in the entrance of the number in the table of contents; This will cause the title to the number on the same line.

How to make my table of contents interactive to publish online?
I have produced a Table of contents for my document in InDesign and checked the box 'Add the page anchor' in the options. But when I export to publish online, the table of contents are not linked to pages in the document.
Then, I tried to make the page numbers in table of contents converted into hyperlinks leading to page numbers, but that no longer works.
What I'm missing here? Looks like I should be able to do this easily, but... Thanks for the hints!
Hi Christy,
During the generation of the TOC, check "Make text anchor in paragraph Source" in the dialog Table of contents the table of contents clickable links in the document to publish online.

Table of contents separate chapters page numbers.
I am trying to understand the lay-out of national geographic for purposes of personal training. When I try to separate the page numbers of the chapters the in the table of contents, the text does ' t align correctly. I tried almost all tab combinations in all possible ways, but it does not work. Could someone help me?
I want to lay out the following in the table of contents:
Page number - chapter
1 Omega chapter of
the Galaxy
Seaweed in Chapter 12 of the
Netherlands
Is it also possible to make an entry in the table of contents? As:

Seaweed in the Netherlands
You must configure left intent intent and front-line negative in your paragraph style.

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 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:

are consecutively numbered table of contents and headlines
Hello Adobe community.
I have two questions about RoboHelp HTML (RoboHelp 9).
1st issue)
It is possible titles are numbered consecutively as in this example (a lower heading level always has the number on the upper level in front of it.):
- Title ABC
- Headline DEF
2.1 title YES
2.2 title POI
2.2.1 title ZUI
3. the title XYZ
The example is as a numbering system is possible in microsoft word.
And the important thing is that the titles are linked to another in a way that fade "2. Headline DEF"2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1 becomes 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1.
2nd question)
Is it possible, the table of contents consecutively regardless of the books, pages and bookmarks of numbering?
Example:
- Book 1
1.1 page 1
1.2 page 2
1.2.1 Bookmarked_Headline 1
1.2.2 Bookmarked_Headline 2
1.3 page 3
1.4 Bookmarked_Headline 3
The numbers that are used in the table of contents must be the same as titles on the pages there.
I hope you understand my English and can help me.
Kind regards
Denis
What you use in the topics is a multilevel list. See my site for more information on the use of lists.
They may not apply to the content of the table of contents, and now there's a way around what I know, other than manually numbering the books and topics.
Many people move away from the numbering otherwise than in specialized areas.

Right align page numbers which is found to the left of the table of contents entries
I posted a similar question a while ago I think that substances or Peter replied, but darn if I can find the thread. At that time, they provided a script that does a GREP search, find a sentence that starts with a number and its replacement by a tab. I still have the script, but for some reason, it does not properly with my new table of contents page layout. It must insert a tab on the left page number (page numbers are to the left table of contents entries) and force the numbers right aligned so that a single-digit right page number aligns with the right edge of a two-digit page number.
Find: ^ (\d+)
Change to the: \t$1What is happening in the new table of contents, this is the script is a figure and inserts a tab to the left of the page number. Page numbers are moving to the right, but they do not align right. They are further to the right, but they themselves numbers correspond to the left.
I'm puzzled as to why the script does not work on this new layout. Now I use CS4 and it still works on the former route. Nothing terribly different about the new layout except that the column is much closer, and there are several columns threaded in the TOC instead of a long column and the chapter titles do not have page numbers (but all other entries have page numbers.)
We should probably set the tabulator in your paragraph style: a tab aligned right for the numbers, followed by a tab stop that is aligned to the left to the text that follows this number. (I guess that there is a tab after the number.)

Is it possible to have two or more tables of contents in a long document?
I wrote a book in which I created a table of contents listing the sections in the book part i, part two e.g. etc..
Can I now creates the TOC for each part?
If so, please advise procedure.
Thank you
You can have a table of contents preceding each section. So, for your Part One article, you place your insertion point before the text in the section first and apply Insert menu: Table of contents: Section. A new page containing the table of contents will be inserted before each article that you apply it too.
Tested with Pages v5.6.2 on OS X 10.11.5.

Title chapter works on numbered list, but does not redial in Table of contents
I'm doing a long document and put each chapter in a separate file.
I use the chapter number variable in the title of the chapter and bullet styles is used in the heading and numbered lists set to ^ h ^ #^ t. It works very well in all the chapters.
For example:
Chapter 1
1.0 header of a zero with the numbered list style
Copy copy copy
1.1 header a numbered list style
Copy copy copy
1.2 header a numbered list style
and so on
Chapter 2
2.0 header with zero style
Copy copy copy
2.1 header a numbered list style
Copy copy copy
2.2 header a numbered list style
and so on
BUT when I create the table of contents and want the header of those who are listed, they appear like this
1.0 header of... 1
1.1 header... 5
1.2 header of... 7
1.3 header of... 9 (this should be the 2.0 header)
1.4 header of... 12 (it should be 2.1 header)
1.5 header of... 13 (this should be the heading 2.2)
How to make the table of contents list the correct numbering, using the chapter title variable that is used in each file in the book?
Thank you
Maryann
Okay, I think that I have now.
- Open the table of contents
- Layout > Table of contents
- Changing the shape of paragraphs numbered to include the full paragraph, OK
- If it does not, you will have duplicate numbers, but the new set is correct.
- If so, window > Styles
- Edit the table of contents and change the Type of list to none.
- Update the table of contents once more
Looking forward to hear words that's it.

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.

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.

Chapter numbers will appear in the table of contents with page numbers...
First of all, thank you all so much for the display of the answers. This forum is wonderful.
I have a doc that needs to have chapter numbers appear with the page numbers in the table of contents.
I insert the < $chapnum > and < $currentpagenum > in the footer and I get 1-1 appears.
To include 1-1 in the table of contents, do I have to edit the referring Page, or is there another way.
Thank you very much for your help!
Change the reference to the table of contents page to use the building block as well as the first page, which is <$chapnum>chapnum.<$pagenum>
$pagenum>$chapnum>

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: 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):
and (p105)
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.
