Between Entry And Number Specify which characters you want between the table of contents entry and its page
number. The default is ^t, which tells InDesign to insert a tab. You can choose other special characters, such as Right
Indent Tab or Em Space, in the pop-up list.
Select the existing text in the box before you choose a different special character, to make sure that you don’t include
both characters.
You might want to create a character style that formats the space between the entry and the page number. You can then
select this style in the Style pop-up list to the right of Between Entry And Number. (See Add paragraph and character
styles .)
If the entry’s paragraph style includes a tab leader setting, and if the tab character (^t) is selected, a tab leader appears
in the generated table of contents.
Sort Entries in Alphabetical Order Select this option to sort table of contents entries in the selected style alphabetically.
This option is useful for creating simple lists, such as lists of advertisers. Nested entries (Level 2 or 3) sort alphabetically
within their group (Level 1 or 2, respectively).
Note: The sort order for a table of contents is determined by the document’s default language setting. To change the default
language setting, make sure nothing is selected and then choose a language from the Language menu in the Character
panel.
Level By default, each item added to the Include Paragraph Styles box is set one level lower than the item immediately
above it. You can change this hierarchy by specifying a new level number for the selected paragraph style. This option
adjusts only the display in the dialog box. It has no effect on the final table of contents unless the list is alphabetized, in
which case the entries are sorted by level.
Create PDF Bookmarks Select this option if you want the table of contents entries to appear in the Bookmarks panel of
Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader® when the document is exported to PDF.
Run-in Select this option if you want all TOC entries to be run into a single paragraph. A semicolon followed by a space
(; ) separates the entries.
