Selecting custom TOC icons

When you create a table of contents, the following standard icons are applied to books and pages:

Books:

Pages:

In addition to these standard icons, you have access to a collection of unique icons that you can assign to TOC items. For example, you can assign URL icons to Web site links and folder icons to books.

To assign a custom icon:

  1. Click the TOC tab.

  2. Select the book or page to modify.

  3. From the right-click menu, select Properties.

  4. Click the Advanced tab.

    In Image Index, Auto is displayed to indicate that the book or page is currently using the standard icon.

  5. To use a custom icon, click and select the one you want to use from the list. A sample of the icon is displayed after you select its corresponding ID number.

 

Notes:

  • Select Mark as new to display a standard book or page icon with a red star in the upper-left corner. This provides users with a visual clue that the TOC item contains new information.

  • The TOC Composer displays all books and pages with the standard icons regardless of the selection you make at the Advanced tab. After you generate your project, you can view these icons from the Contents tab in the viewer.

  • If you have your own icons that you want to use, you can assign them to books and pages after you add the bitmap file (.BMP) to your project. For information, see Customizing tables of contents.
