Editing and updating a table of contents
If your table of contents requires editing, edit the actual paragraphs in the documents—
not the table of contents story—and then generate a new table of contents. If you edit
the table of contents story, you'll lose your revisions when you generate a new table
of contents.
Note: It's not a good idea to thread the TOC frame to other text frames in the document.
If you replace the existing TOC, the entire story will be replaced by the updated TOC.
To edit a table of contents:
1 Make any changes to the paragraphs in the documents and the styles used in the table
of contents.
2 Open the document containing the table of contents.
3 Choose Layout > Table of Contents.
4 Select Replace Existing Table of Contents, specify other settings in the dialog box as
needed, and then click OK.
Working with tables of contents and books
When creating a table of contents for documents in a book, do the following:
Before you create a table of contents, verify that the book list is complete, that all
•
documents are listed in the correct order, and that all headings have been formatted
with the appropriate styles. (See
Use styles consistently throughout the book. Avoid creating documents with styles that
•
have identical names but different definitions. If multiple styles have the same name
but different style definitions, InDesign uses the style definition in the current
document (if a definition exists there), or the first occurrence of the style in the book.
If the necessary styles do not appear in the pop-up menus in the Table of Contents
•
dialog box, you may need to synchronize the book so that the styles are copied to the
document containing the table of contents; see
file" on page 169.
For steps in creating a table of contents, see
Saving table of contents styles
Use the Save Style feature in the Table of Contents dialog box to save the current settings
for use in future TOCs that you create. In addition, you can use the Table of Contents Styles
dialog box to edit or delete existing styles, or to create new styles.
When you choose a saved TOC style, all the controls in the Table of Contents dialog box
reflect the settings for that style.
To save table of contents settings as a style:
1 Choose Layout > Table of Contents.
2 Select the settings you want; see
3 Click Save Style, type a name for the style, and then click OK.
To use a table of contents style:
Choose Layout > Table of Contents, and then choose the desired style in the Style pop-
up menu.
