When you create a table of contents, follow these general steps:
1. Create and apply paragraph styles, such as Title, Heading 1, and Heading 2, to paragraphs you
want to include in the table of contents.
2. Create a TOC style that tells InDesign CS2 which paragraph styles mark content to include in
the table of contents. You can also specify formatting options for the table of contents, and you
can sort entries alphabetically.
3. Generate a table of contents story by using the TOC style you defined.
4. Flow the table of contents story.
Before you create a table of contents using the Table Of Contents command (Layout menu),
you must decide which paragraph styles, such as chapter titles and section headings, should
be included. For each paragraph style you plan to include in your table of contents, you should
define an associated paragraph style that you apply to the table of contents entries. Before you
generate your table of contents, make sure you apply paragraph styles to all of the paragraphs in
the document or book that you want to include.
The New Table of Contents Style dialog box (Layout > Table of Contents Styles) lets you create a style for a table
of contents.
A table of contents is like a snapshot of the content in your document or book. If page numbers
change, or if you edit the headings or other elements associated with table of contents entries,
you'll need to regenerate the table of contents to update it.
Creating an index
In InDesign CS2, you create index entries, a topics list, and cross-references by using the Index
palette (Window > Type & Tables > Index). You can view topics in the Index palette in Topic
mode and preview index entries in Reference mode. Reference mode is similar to using the Show
Index command in PageMaker. Topic mode is similar to viewing and adding topics in the Select
Topic dialog box in PageMaker. Commands in the Index palette menu let you add index entries,
create cross-references, and generate an index.
You can create a simple keyword index or a comprehensive, detailed guide to the information in
your book. InDesign CS2 lets you focus on the planning and structure while it does the difficult
work—tracking index entries as pages change, even across all of the documents in a book.
