Personal books : Table of contents

Johan said:

I want to add a personal book consisting out of several files.  Is there a way to create a table of contents so that the hyperlink or name of file displays in table of contents.  I wanna click on a name to navigate to that file and not wanna scroll down all the way.

The names of the files are meaningless to Logos (and rightly so!). You will want to employ Heading styles in Word, which will auto-populate the Logos ToC running along the resource text on the lefthand side.

There's also the possibility of using milestones (see the wiki page on Personal books on how to create these) within the PB and building a manual ToC jumping to those milestones wherever you like. 

Or use the special PB sermon builder table to let Logos generate indexes for you, one potentially functioning as an automated ToC at the end of the PB.

I use Heading styles and sermon index stuff to gradually build a multi-file PB of relevant writings by Martin Luther from the Luther reading challenge website, looks like this:

I thought of using headings.  The only thing is that the book is in several files so not sure how to create the ToC if i use several files.

Logos will treat them as if they were in one large file. So just make sure you have all on the same level that should be, you're fine.

Are you able to post extracts of the documents so we can have a look at them - assuming that doesn't go against any privacy or confidentiality constraints?

 I want it to display a table of contents in Logos 6.

And what you describe should do what you are looking for.

Are you able to post a couple of these files?

Thanks for posting.

The issue is that you haven't set the headings to "Heading 1" in Word.

If you do you will get the ToC entries you are looking for.

When I do that I get the book structured as shown

I've uploaded the modified documents

0172.1300.Mattheus 17 1-13 preek.docx

7028.1004.Genesis 3 1-24 Teks 8-11b (1).docx

2313.6204.Romeine 14 HK 1.docx

 Is there a setting that i must tick in Logos 6 under build books that i miss

No - there is no setting needed for this

Johan said:

 If i build the book it don't give me the ToC

Do you mean that when the build the book with the new files you still don't get the ToC?

 I'm battling to set up a ToC when i'm using multiple files.  

I set it up as shown on the left - with the results on the right

How does yours compare?

Can you upload a screenshot (use the paperclip icon)?
