TOC Problem

Hi people

I am experiencing a big problem at the moment with Table of Contents on 76 page document. The document was redesigned from a previous version of this job using the same paragraph styles but revised to suit the new (document version). When I go to create a new TOC the hole Text disappears and yet the preflight shows no Errors.

I can copy text from this document into a new document and I can create a new TOC no problems. Can this problem be fixed without having to recreate the document as this would be quite time consuming.

Iam using InDesign 2017 and OS Sierra 10.12.1

Is there anyone out there with any advice please.

thanks

Angelos

Look at it in Story Editor view to see if the text is still there.

Display hidden characters.Look for a break character.

See if a style has a break assigned.

Is your TOC going into its own frame?

Thanks Jane we did go through a lot of troubleshooting and the Adobe technician brought it down to a corrupt file

Is it solved yet, then?

Steve's suggestion of saving to idml usually works.

It could be a font or something on one page, such as an image. So sometimes copying the pages to a new document works. Do half, if that fails, do half of that, and so on. Use the pages panel menu.

The document may be corrupted. Try saving as an IDML (File > Save As > InDesign CS4 or later (IDML)). Reopen.

Thanks Steve, I did reply to you earlier but didn’t Add Reply to my comments so they were not posted. See what we did as a solution above.
