Creating styles for a table of contents
InDesign uses the paragraph styles available in the current document or book to generate
the table of contents entries. In addition, you can select a built-in InDesign table of
contents style (TOC Body Style). If you select this style to format the TOC, the style appears
in the Paragraph Styles palette after a table of contents is created. You can then edit
this style.
By default, TOC entries are formatted using the paragraph styles of the source
document(s). However, you can create separate paragraph styles for formatting the TOC.
For example, if you generate a table of contents based on Head 1 and Head 2 styles, you
can create corresponding TOC Head 1 and TOC Head 2 styles that include different fonts,
first line indents, and tab leaders. You can then select these separate TOC styles when you
create the table of contents.

Before and after editing table of contents entry styles
In addition, you can create character styles to format the TOC entries and page numbers.
For example, if you want the page numbers to be in bold, create a character style that
includes the bold attribute, and then select that character style when you create the table
of contents.
For information on creating paragraph and character styles for the TOC, see
on page 146.
Creating a table of contents
Before you create a table of contents, decide which paragraphs, such as chapter titles and
section headings, should be included, and then define paragraph styles for each. Make
sure that these styles are applied to all appropriate paragraphs in the document or
booked documents. (See
After you specify which styles you want to use in the table of contents, you can format the
entries in the Style: <Paragraph Style Name> section of the Table of Contents dialog box.
