If the styles you select are not used anywhere in the document, you will see a message
that your table of contents is empty when you create the table of contents. If you select
styles that are used very frequently in the document, your table of contents might be
longer than you want.
3
In the #’s column, select the checkboxes of those styles whose entries you want to
include a page number.
4
Place the insertion point at the beginning of the line where you want the table of
contents to appear, and then choose Insert > Table of Contents.
If the Word Processing template you’re working with has a table of contents predefined
for it, click in the page preceding where you want to insert the table of contents, click
Sections in the toolbar, and then choose Table of Contents.
To update the TOC after editing a document, click any entry in the table of contents, or
click Update Now in the TOC pane of the Document Inspector. If you don’t update the
table of contents after changing a document, it updates automatically when you close
the document.
Styling a Table of Contents
You can change the look of text in the table of contents as you would any other text in
a word processing document. You can also add a leader line between an entry and its
associated page number, and you can create new TOC styles.
To change the look of a table of contents entry:
1
In the table of contents, select the entry type that you want to format, such as a first-
level heading. All entries of the same type are automatically selected. They cannot be
individually selected.
2
To open the Styles drawer, click the Styles drawer button in the Format Bar. Notice that
the Styles drawer now displays a list of table of contents styles. The TOC style that
corresponds to the selected entry is also selected.
Click the arrow and choose
whether to redefine the
selected style, create a new
style, or just rename it.
When a table of contents
entry is selected, the Styles
drawer displays table of
contents styles.
