Include Text On Hidden Layers
Select this option only if you want the paragraphs on hidden layers to be included in
your table of contents. This is useful when creating a list of advertisers or illustrations that may not appear as visible
text in the document itself. Deselect this option when you’ve used layers to store various versions or translations of the
same text.
Numbered Paragraphs
If your table of contents includes a paragraph style that uses numbering, specify whether the
TOC entry includes the full paragraph (both number and text), only the numbers, or only the paragraph.
Frame Orientation
Specify the writing direction for the text frame you will use to create a table of contents.
