Error en Indesign al crear tabla de contenidos

Hola buenos días,

Tengo un catálogo realizado en formato libro de Indesign. Cuando intento realizar un índice de referencias que están dentro de unas tablas concatenadas en varias páginas, no me salen todas las referencias aunque tengan el mismo estilo de párrafo. Solo me salen si copio y pego esa tabla otra vez rompiendo la trazabilidad.  No está como capa oculta y no encuentro el problema para solucionarlo. ¿algna idea? gracias.

Hi @juan28060854ipym ,

 

Thank you for reaching out. It sounds like the problem you're experiencing with your index in InDesign may be related to how the text in your concatenated tables is structured. Here are a few things you can check to try and resolve the issue:

  1. Check that the table text is threaded correctly: Make sure that the text in your concatenated tables is threaded correctly so that InDesign can read it as continuous text. If the text is not threaded correctly, InDesign may miss some references when generating the index.
  2. Check that the paragraph style is consistent: Ensure that the paragraph style used for the references in the concatenated tables is consistent throughout the document. If the paragraph style has been changed in some instances, this may cause InDesign to miss those references when generating the index.
  3. Check that the references are tagged correctly: Ensure that the references in the concatenated tables are tagged correctly using the appropriate character style or paragraph style. If the references are not tagged correctly, InDesign may not be able to pick them up when generating the index.
  4. Check that the index options are set up correctly: Make sure that the index options are set up correctly in InDesign. Check that the correct paragraph style is selected for the references and that the "Include Book Documents" option is selected if your document is set up as a book.

 

Let us know if this helps or if you need any further assistance. I am also leaving this discussion open for expert suggestions.

Hola Rishabh, gracias por contestar y te comento.

El estilo de párrafo está comprobado y es correcto y sólido.

Los textos están bien enlazados dentro de las celdas de la tabla.

El estilo de párrafo está bien seleccionado y marcado lo de incluir documento del libro.

En el mismo capítulo existen tablas creadas igual y si que lee ese código con el mismo estilo de párrafo.

Todo lo que me comentas ya lo había verificado yo.

Es cierto que este documento viene de un sistema semiautomático que genera el indesign y yo no tengo acceso, solo me viene el archivo ya realizado.

Es un catálogo que genera tablas con datos e imágenes

Si os ocurre algo es de agradecer porque son 640 páginas.

Saludos Juan,

Thanks for confirming. Have you also checked for hidden characters or formatting: Sometimes, hidden characters or formatting can cause issues with InDesign's indexing functionality. Try displaying hidden characters and checking for any unusual formatting that could be causing the problem.
