8. Click OK.
A loaded text cursor appears. Before you click or drag, you can move to a different page or create a new page without losing the loaded
text.
9. Click or drag the loaded text cursor on a page to place the new table of contents story.
Avoid threading the TOC frame to other text frames in the document. If you replace the existing TOC, the entire story will be replaced by
the updated TOC.
Create TOC styles for multiple lists
Use TOC styles if you need to create different tables of contents in your document or book. For example, you can use one TOC style for a list of
contents and another for a list of advertisers, illustrations, or photo credits. Create a TOC style for each type of list.
Creating TOC styles are also useful if you want to use the same TOC formatting in another document.
Don’t confuse TOC styles with paragraph styles that have a “TOC” prefix. TOC-prefixed paragraph styles (for example “TOC title”) are used
to format the table of contents entries themselves. In contrast, a TOC style is a collection of settings used to automatically create a table of
contents.
Create a TOC style
1. Choose Layout > Table Of Contents Styles.
2. Click New.
3. Type a name for the TOC style you are creating.
4. In the Title box, type a title for your TOC (such as Contents or List of Figures). This title will appear at the top of the table of contents. To
specify a title style, choose a style from the Style menu.
5. From the Other Styles list, select the paragraph styles that represent content you want to include in the table of contents, then click Add to
add them to the Include Paragraph Styles list.
6. Specify options to determine how each paragraph style is formatted. (See Options for formatting a table of contents .)
Import TOC styles from another document
1. Choose Layout > Table Of Contents Styles.
2. Click Load, select the InDesign file containing the TOC styles you want to copy, and then click Open.
3. Click OK.
If the paragraph styles in your document do not match the paragraph styles in the TOC style you import, you’ll need to edit the TOC style
before generating a table of contents.
