58 Chapter 3 Working with Document Parts
Using a Table of Contents
Using a Word Processing template, Pages can automatically generate a table of
contents for your document. Many Word Processing templates come with a
preformatted table of contents that you can add to your document.
In order to create a table of contents in a word processing document, you need to
consistently use paragraph styles for headings in your document. To learn about styles,
see “About Styles” on page 119 and “Applying Styles” on page 120.
After you create a table of contents, you can format it to change its appearance.
Creating and Updating a Table of Contents
Each table of contents you create using a Word Processing template lists only the
content that follows it, up until the next table of contents. If you want a master table of
contents for the entire document, it must be the only table of contents, and it must be
at the beginning of the document.
To create a table of contents:
1 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Document Inspector button, and then click TOC.
2 Select the checkboxes next to the paragraph styles whose text you want to appear in
the table of contents. For example, if you want all the first-level headings and
subheadings to appear in the table of contents, select the paragraph style that you
used for first-level headings and subheadings.
Click to update the table
of contents after making
changes to your document.
Select the checkbox in
the #’s column if you want
page numbers to appear
with each entry.
Select the paragraph
styles whose text you
want to appear in the
table of contents.
