Include Text On Hidden Layers
When generating or editing a table of contents, use these options to determine the appearance of the generated table of contents text. Some of
these options are available only when you click More Options in the dialog box.
The settings in the Style section apply only to the style currently selected under Include Paragraph Styles. You can specify different
formatting options for each style.
For each style in Include Paragraph Styles, choose a paragraph style to apply to the associated table of contents entries.
You might want to create a character style that formats the page number. You can then select this style in the Style pop-up list to
the right of Page Number. (See Add paragraph and character styles.)
If you want the page numbers of the TOC to include prefixes, or to use a different numbering convention, see Define section numbering.
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. For a complete
list of special characters and how to work with them, see
Insert glyphs and special characters.
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. For more information, see
Create TOC entries with tab leaders .
You can specify a character that separates an entry and page number, as well as a style to apply to a character.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
Select this option only if you want the paragraphs on hidden layers to be included in your table of contents. This
