Update or recreate a TOC?

The table of contents in my InDesign document has been implemented by an editor, and it's really very nice.

Problem is that I did touch up, so the page number are not just more. And they made the table of contents without 'create pdf bookmarks' I really need.

I tried to do another OCD, but it comes out really ugly, nothing quite like one making the editor.

I tried to do another OCD with 'OCD to replace"checked, but it didn't replace the other OCD. Anyway, do not really want to replace the old table of contents, just the update.

Tips for how I can either update the table of existing contents to have appropriate revised page numbers (and create if possible bookmark links).

or

Make a new table of contents which follows the format of a table of contents that are already created (I checked the box for "Styles table of content", there is only by default).

This is the beautiful orignial seeks KNOCK I would like to update or re-create:

GoodTOC.PNG

and here's the really crappy TOC I get when I try to make a new:

BadTOC.PNG

I'm not even sure what all these '4's are at the end of each line.

Your screenshot I think that there is a 3 paragraph to the TOC styles.

Here's a quick example:

1 table of contents Table of contents of the paragraph style with nets of paragraph

2 table of contents chapter style (+ nested style and the "blue color" character style)

3 body

4 - adjustment table of contents (contents & chapter with page number)

Body without page number

  • Retrieve tdx without tdm file data

    Hello

    I have a tdx 3.7 GB containing important data file, but the file TOC is empty. All my other files are fine and I barely noticed it (although it is probably the second most important). I hope that it is of the tdx data recovery?

    I wondererd if I could recreate the TOC file, because I know EXACTLY what process has created it and so could repeat and copy and paste the new file. Anyone know if it works, or have any other ideas? (I ask here as idon't want to spend loads of time to do if it does not work).

    Thank you very much for your help, I could really do with this data,

    James

    Hi James,

    Thank you for your message.

    Unfortunately there is no way to recover the data raw tdx, if the CT file is lost. The tdx file is data binary raw efficiently and without the metadata contained in the file of the tdm, there is no way to determine it's significant. This means also that you cannot create the file TOC the tdx file alone.

    If you are able to recreate exactly the same tdm file initially used with the file tdx concerned, who would be the simplest solution in this scenario and should allow you to view the data.

    Hope this helps, let me know how you go.

  • PSC 2410 photosmart does not print after installation of OX 10.6 & Lion: message "failure to communicate".

    I just installed Snow Leopard and Lion (10.7.2).

    My hp psc 2410 photosmart printer repeatedly gives me the following message in the queue of the printer:

    Failure to communicate: the computer is no longer able to communicate with your printer. Turn off the printer, check your printer connections and look for errors in the printer and turn on the printer.

    I have deleted all the files of hp of the system library (suggested in an Apple forum), ran from the Apple software updates and recreated the printer queue in the printer preferences and Scan.

    What to do before having to run out and get another printer? Everything that I am interested is in the printing industry;

    analysis on this hp didn't happen for several OS updates.

    I appreciate the help.

    Hi again,

    I'm sorry to hear that the problem persists.

    Please, check the following:

    1. The printer is connected directly to a free port on your Mac OS and not via a Usb hub, extention, a port of Mac keyboard or through any airport base?
    2. Make sure that the cable is not more than 2-3 meters of length and directly connected to the Mac as described above.
    3. Try to switch to a different USB port on your Mac.

    If the problem continues without change, I suggest you try using another USB cable and then check for any progress.

    Although the printer worked fine with the previous Mac OS (as far as I can understand your description), any defective USB may react differently on another OS...

    Please let me know any progress,

  • Restoration of the subjects already published to the Publisher

    Hi all

    Back, and I have another question regarding the subjects and management between the project manager and the table of contents of the file...

    As you may or not remember, I was brought aboard an organization to help streamline and develop consistency in the help files for a number of products they manufacture.  The products, well that very similar in appearance and function, have the user interface elements unique and certain functions are specific to a particular product.  Thus, to facilitate the explanation, assume that the product is available under Windows, OS x, iOS and Android.  I have now accordingly organized project files:

    Windows product (folder)

    Topic 1

    Heading 2

    Heading 3

    OSX product (folder)

    Topic 1

    Heading 2

    Heading 3

    etc...

    My problem started with a presumed understanding that:

    1. the project manager Pod will show me all the files associated with my project, whether or not they are published...

    2. the table of contents are a list of all files that are published in the order that they are presented.

    Assuming this is correct, I went ahead and a copy (or so I thought) the topic files I was looking at the table of contents for a product area to another area of product (Windows to OS x for example).  After doing this and the editing screen captures and text to the new OS Help files, I realized that I had not copied, but moved the files.  So now the themes for Windows were crushed with the contents of the Mac.

    I have not published yet internally for the team of the magazine or on the website of the company, if prior theme for Windows files are always available somewhere.

    My question is: what is the best way to restore Windows versions theme files while also maintaining the Mac edition of HR 2015 versions?

    There were only a dozen pages, so it was easier to edit topics manually one by one.

    The best information I've learned from this experience is that what content was updated, never go by TOC file references because they do not meet their parent folders - always make changes/updates of the project files pod!

    Small suggestion to developers of Adobe which extinguished Robohelp:

    1. learn the concept of intuitive design and apply!

    2. never release a new product without the files/documents in support!

    It is absolutely amazing to me that together Robohelp 2015, they were unable to produce any content for... I don't know, maybe a resource of help file explaining what each component and best practices for the use...

    After all, is not first of all as one of the basic features of Robohelp?

    For William, thanks for the link to "Oct 2004 - ban witchcraft."  With all respect, referring to a person using HR 2015 in an article that is more than ten years that speaks to an iteration of HR which is more than five iterations obsolete legacy, and a 3rd party paid solution seems to be not much of a reference to everything... the problem, it is the lack of native support for doing something as simple as duplication of a project.  I don't have to go in my operating system for it - the PRODUCT must have this feature.  Is that small audience where Adobe decided to Polish a piece about and call it 'new' and the target demographic just accept this?

    If RH was a really useful solution for Tech writers, it should be addressed long time... but then again, I should have known better than to expect that Adobe.

  • Triggers and alarms Weirdness

    Hello

    Environment:

    vCenter 4.0.0 build 208111

    When you edit a trigger type on the already existing alarm triggers tab, I get the following error:

    "An alarm with the specified name already exists. Specify a different name.

    It is surely not good?

    Did anyone else get this?

    More information:

    IM changing the alarm 'use of data on the disk store. "

    I also see two of each alarm?

    Same problem here.  I applied vSphere 4 Update 1 and I saw triggered alarms on my use of the data store that were not already there.

    I had customized the alarm 'Use of data to drive store' in the past.  My thought is to update 1 recreates alarms custom for some reason any?  So now, there are 2 that appear in the list with the same name: one with my settings and the other with the original settings.

    I was able to delete that I didn't and the other taking effect immediately.  AND I was able to make changes to the settings.

  • Materialized view Questions PLZ HELP!

    Hi all

    How to check the time required for a materialized view to run at a given time.
    My point of view materialized is a full refresh that runs automatically at 03:00.

    (a) I interviewed dba_jobs and dba_mview_refresh_times and matched the last_date and last_refresh to find the total time. How can I know that 80 JOBS matches my opinion MVIEW_UNION in a much easier way?

    SQL > select job, last_date, order dba_jobs total_time in last_date;
    WORK LAST_DATE TOTAL_TIME
    ---------- ----------------- ----------
    80 05/05/10 03:00:02 5255

    SQL > select name, last_refresh from dba_mview_refresh_times where owner
    NAME LAST_REFRESH
    ------------------------------ -----------------
    MVIEW_UNION 05/05/10 03:00:02



    (b) also is total_time time it took the request to run today at 03:00, that is to say he started at 03:00 and ended at all about 4:45(3+5255_msec) or is it the time it has taken since the day wherever it has been planned in dba_jobs (IE back of 1 week)

    (c) also my dosent table source contain all indexes and I created indexes on the materialized view, I want to know if the full update will recreate the indxes.

    Thanks in advance,
    Kind regards

    Index on the MV are independent of indexes on the tables in the source.

    The "container" for a MV is a table. Therefore, indexes can be created on this topic.
    A FULL refreshment made with ATOMIC_REFRESH set to FALSE would be a TRUNCATE and INSERT APPEND. The index may be updated at the end.
    A FULL refreshment made with ATOMIC_REFRESH set to TRUE would be a DELETE and INSERT. This, as it is, has notable requirements of Undo (and redo). Index, if any, would also add many more requirements Undo (and redo) and updating.
    A QUICK update is an UPDATE or INSERT. Again, the presence of indexes can have an impact. If the discount is small (ie. the proportion of the updates/news lines is low compared with the lines already present in the MV), then the index can be kept because they are (the overhead of recreating the index i would exceed overload time and undo/redo of the DML with the present indices). However, if the QUICK updates/inserts many rows update, a strategy of DROP and CREATE better index.

  • TOC copied from another document, can not update

    Hello

    I copied a table of contents of another document and when I try to update the new book, the table of contents do not appear as an option to update. I am using Framemaker 8 and I named the file the same name as the book (MASWTOC.fm and MASW.book) file.

    I tried to create a new table of contents and then import another table of Contents formatting, but it did not work. I only got a list of titles and numbers page directly behind them. So, I hope that there is an easy way to update the table of contents of another book.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Michael Randall

    You can not just copy in a table of contents because it is a system generated unique to the book - if you copy, the system may not have generated it.

    What you need to do is to complete the first method you have started. Delete the copy in the file, if it is still in the book.

    Add > TOC and choose the paragraph tags that you want to include. Generate the table of contents. As you have noted, it will not be formatted, but it must contain the correct tags and page numbers.

    Then, open the table of contents in the format already in the other book. In your table of contents new, file > import Formats and bring everything except the Document properties to.

    Save the file. The book was updated. The table of contents should now contain the correct information so the correct formats.  If the subjects and page numbers are always grouped together, 1.) Check the reference page for the TOC file to make sure that there is a tab stop between the variables that control the info. (and 2.) check the paragraph tag (for example, Heading1TOC) in the Designer section to make sure that there is a tab stop. This is where you place the page number, leadering and so on.

    If you need to make changes, SAVE THE FILE, and then update the book again once.

    Another method that may work for you, but is not as reliable as the one above:

    Close the FM.

    In Windows, delete the TOC file generated in your new book dirctory. (You must already have a TOC that is generated it for this work.)

    Then copy to your table of old contents to exactly the same name as the generated file, you just deleted. It must be exactly the same name.

    Start FM, open the book and update.

  • InDesign CS6: update of TOC makes unusable InDesign?

    Hello

    I use InDesign CS6 on 64 Bit Windows 10 right now to create a school report. At some point, I created a table of contents of the entire book. As I restyled content in one of the documents in the book, I had to update the table of contents.

    For the moment I clicked on "Layout" > "Update Table of contents", I heard a notification sound (for the dialog box "Table of contents has been updated"). But the dialog box that combines this noise ("Table of contents has been updated") does not!

    As a result, any screen that is filled with InDesign area becomes unclickabe (I hear sound error every time I click on it). Furthermore, I can't perform any action, like save the documents/book. I think this is due to the fact that the "Table of contents was updated correctly-" dialogue does not appear, but it is hidden somewhere in any case. Now my InDesign window is blocked and I can't save my documents more...

    Can someone help me? I would at least save my progress unregistered, or be able to get it back if I have to force - quit InDesign to operate again.

    Thank you!

    Jeroen

    Well, I looked a little more and found out that InDesign retrieves files not saved at startup (link). It turns out that, InDesign saves the changes in its cache of recovery every minute. For me, it was quite safe to just force-close it and restart InDesign.

    So whenever this kind of weird error happens, there is a great chance you can just force - close and restart InDesign, as he will take care of any change of / / / Unsave, which will apply to your documents/books then opened.

  • Source material can be updated without having to recreate the entire form?

    Just create a form of 17 page with hundreds of boxes and other editable for the end user. Unfortunately, the form may have to be updated quarterly. I wonder if there is a way to update the data source of the form (i.e. Add/Remove questions) without having to create a whole new form.

    Thanks in advance!

    Yes. Once you have the new file open former and use the replacement Pages

    possibility to replace the underlying pages with the new ones. This will keep

    all the form fields in place (of course, if the layout of the modified file

  • How to assign several TOC to correct the text?

    I work in InDesign CC2014 on a Windows 7 PC. I have a document with TOC - one three styles to the content of the chapter, one for a list of figures (LOF) and one for a list of tables (LOT). In each, I have assigned different paragraph styles to use - chapter heading styles, figure caption for the LOF and legend of table for the BATCH. The text for each is an area of unique text not moved on.

    Using the option to update Table of contents in the menu layout, the table of contents chapter works. The LOF is using the BATCH. And the LOT is grayed out and will not be updated the content at all. Each of them occurs with the cursor in the correct discreet text box.

    I can get everyone to work if I use the Table of contents, choose one I want, flow the text into a new text box and replace the existing text by the new box. Next time, I must do the same, because the Update Table of contents will not work in the new text boxes.

    I hope I'm missing just something simple. Any help would be really appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Peter,

    I placed a figure and a table in the document, recreated it in the model from scratch, and everything seems to work. I realized the original had the text placeholder, in the correct style, but if it has not been generated, this could be the reason why it did not work.

    I saved the model as a indt file and will use later today or early this week next to the 17 other documents. This will be the text - if they work in the documents created from the template.

    I will mark this answer as being correct, and if I have questions after I tried to use it, I'll post them in this thread as well.

    Thank you!!

  • Update the table of contents [JS, CS3]

    Hi all

    In the InDesign interface, you can select your table of contents and simply click on the TOC of layout update page to update.  Is this possible with a script or what I need to recreate table of contents by using the document.createTOC () method?  It's that I don't see in the object model.

    I have a book with 33 chapters, and each has its own table of contents.  All tables have been set up, I just need to be updated so that they have the correct page number.

    Thank you

    Mike

    You looked in the right place, but may have overlooked this:

    CreateTOC history painting (using the: TOCStyle [, replacing: boolean = false] [, fromBook:Book] [, included: table of number] [, includeOverset:bool = false] [, destinationLayer: Layer])

    ...
    replacement (bool) If true, replaces the existing table of contents. (Optional) (default: false)

    Sounds like you just need to add is

    document.createTOC ([your table of contents style], true);
