To create a table of contents:
1 Do one of the following:
If you're creating a table of contents for a single document, you may want to add a new
•
page at the beginning of the document.
If you're creating a table of contents for multiple documents in a book, create or open
•
the document to be used for the table of contents, make sure that it's included in the
book, and then open the book file. For more information, see
contents and books" on page
2 Choose Layout > Table of Contents.
3 For Title, type the text (such as Contents or List of Figures) that will appear at the top
of the table of contents. To determine how the title is formatted, select a style in the
adjacent Style pop-up menu.
4 Select Include Book Documents to create a single table of contents for all documents in
the book list, and to renumber the book's pages. If this option is selected, paragraph styles
in all of the book's documents are available for generating the table of contents. Deselect
this option if you want to generate a table of contents for the current document only. (This
option is dimmed if the book file isn't open.)
5 Under Styles in Table of Contents, double-click paragraph styles in the Other Styles box
to move them into the Include Paragraph Styles box. For information on table of contents
styles, see "Creating styles for a table of contents" on page
6 To format the TOC text, select an item under Include Paragraph Styles, and then select a
style in the Entry Style pop-up menu to format the style in the TOC. For example, an entry
created from paragraphs having the Header 1 style will have the Header 1 paragraph style
in the generated TOC, unless you specify a different entry style.
7 Select the Replace Existing Table of Contents option to replace an existing TOC with the
TOC you are generating. To generate a new TOC story without altering the existing one,
deselect this option. This option is dimmed if you have not previously created a TOC for
this document.
8 To specify advanced options, such as the page number location of each entry, click
More Options; see "Setting formatting options for the table of contents" on page
9 Click OK. If Replace Existing Table of Contents is deselected, a loaded text icon appears.
Place the table of contents story as you would any other text.
If you manually edit entries in the table of contents, these changes are overridden
when you update the table of contents. For best results, edit the actual paragraphs in
the documents, and then update the table of contents. For the same reason, you should
edit the styles used to format the table of contents entries, rather than formatting the
table of contents directly.
