Hi All, Thanks again for your help. Frame 7 on Vista Enterprise Yes, I did take a small sample and used the table in Frame to sort by columns, that looks okay, but will this retain the links like a regular TOC, can I make this a generated list and remove the table borders? The titles of the Work Instructions do have a paragraph tag and currently presented as shown below on the first page of the Work Instruction. This generates fine as a Table of Contents. Current Set Up: (only in the order as presented in each chapter, no alpha or numeric order) Gone With the Wind (023) StarTrek (012) The L.A. Story (063) Want to be Set Up: (a new generated list to put all 60+ titles in numeric order) I have the alpha order to work with, I can move the WI number to the front of the title, just need to make it with links. I can place them in a table and do the sort by column -- then what? 012 StarTrek 023 Gone With the Wind 063 The L.A. Story
This new arrangement would provide the users (floor technicians and trainers) a faster way to locate the Work Instruction in the Runbook. With a generated list, then in the PDF file, they can point and click, just like in the TOC. Finally, I want to name this list as a Quick Index and place it at the end of the book. Can I do that as an appendix, or leave it as a generated file and simply move it to the end of the book file? Thanks, Sue ________________________________ From: Art Campbell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wed 5/27/2009 6:10 AM To: Susan Curtzwiler Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: New Topic: Sort by number Assuming the "work instructions" are controlled by a unique paragraph tag, that would be the default order if you generate a TOC for the book or file and only specify that type of tag. The links are generated automatically when you generate a PDF for the book if you activate the Acrobat functions from the Print dialog box. Art Art Campbell [email protected] "...
