Chapter 12 Printing, Sharing, and Exporting Your Document to Other Formats 259
To prepare an existing Pages document for export to ePub format:
Documents exported to the ePub format automatically appear with page breaks
before every chapter. A table of contents is automatically generated, which allows
readers to jump quickly to any chapter title, heading, or subheading in the book. In
order to create a meaningful table of contents, it’s important to apply appropriate
styles within your document. The ePub reader uses the paragraph styles to determine
which items should appear in the table of contents for your book.
Note: The Pages document must have been created using a word-processing template.
1 Review your document to be certain that appropriate paragraph styles are applied to
all chapter titles, headings, and subheadings in your document.
If you want additional items to appear in the table of contents generated by the ePub
file, make sure they are also styled with the correct paragraph style. Then open the
Document inspector and click TOC. Select all of the paragraph styles that you want to
appear in the TOC, and then click Update. For more information about creating a table
of contents, see “Creating and Updating a Table of Contents” on page 64.
2 Generate a table of contents in the current document, to verify that it lists only what
you expect it to (for example, chapter titles, headings, and subheadings). Correct any
errors by selecting or deselecting paragraph styles in the TOC view of the Document
inspector (as described, above).
3 Reformat any images, shapes, or other objects in your document to make them
inline objects.
To learn about inline objects, see “What Are Floating and Inline Objects?.”
To export your document to ePub format:
If you have tracked changes in the document you want to export, accept or reject
any changes and stop tracking changes before you export. Tracked changes are
automatically accepted if no specific action is taken. (See “Accepting and Rejecting
Changes.”)
