Question

RH10: why isn't my TOC being imported with my TOC headings

TCS3/RH9/FM10

Windows XP

In RH7 when you copied (link is now the term in RH9) a book including the TOC, the TOC was automatically created with a pod that contained lovely books and topics that just required minor tweeks.

In RH9, it appears that you cannot link the TOC, and instead you have to import it.  I have imported a properly created FM TOC (complete with headings and sub-headings) and all I have ended up with is an empty TOC pod.

Do I have to map my TOC heading styles to an RH style? (Please tell me no. The thought of having to wrestle with the css is really more than I can bear.)

This seems like a real step backward to me in RH development, but I'm really starting to feel that way about the whole TCS3 (read frustration).

As usual, the Help is really deficient in this area.  I followed what little there was, but to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

Mary

Hi Mary - the FM ToC should come over. On the first screen of the import it asks you if you want to bring in the ToC, Index and Glossary into RH. Check out some of the videos that RJ Jacquez did on his blog (former Tech Comm Evangelist with Adobe) or some webinars that Matt Sullivan did at Roundpeg.com on his blog. They may give you a better idea of how the integration works in the TCS.

Jeff,

Yes, I'm familiar with how it operated in RH7 which is what you described below, but at that point when you imported, the entire book was imported.  Now it appears that only the chapters come over.  Now you have to import the TOC and Index separately and then you don't get fully formed TOCs and Indexes.

Matt,

Thanks for explaining this. Why couldn't they explain that in the Help or in the notes to users.


Feel free to update the help and submit it to Adobe through the commenting feature in the Community Help file.
