Update and edit a table of contents
The table of contents is like a snapshot of content in your document. If page numbers in your document change, or if you edit headings or other
elements associated with table of contents entries, you’ll need to regenerate the table of contents to update it.
Update a table of contents
1. Open the document containing the table of contents.
2. Do any of the following:
To make changes to table of contents entries, edit your document or booked documents, not the table of contents story itself.
To change the formatting applied to the table of contents title, entries, or page numbers, edit the paragraph or character styles
associated with these elements.
To change how pages are numbered (for example, 1, 2, 3 or i, ii, iii), change section numbering in the document or book. (See Number
pages, chapters, and paragraphs in a book.)
To specify a new title, include other paragraph styles in the table of contents, or further format table of contents entries, edit the TOC
style.
3. Select or place the insertion point in the text frame containing the table of contents, and then choose Layout > Update Table Of Contents.
4. If you have multiple tables of contents in your document, such as a list of figures and a list of advertisers, select the text frame containing a
different list, and then choose Layout > Update Table Of Contents.
Editing a table of contents
If your table of contents requires editing, edit the actual paragraphs in the document—not the table of contents story—and then generate a new
table of contents. If you edit the table of contents story, you’ll lose your revisions when you generate a new table of contents. For the same reason,
you should edit the styles used to format the table of contents entries, rather than formatting the table of contents directly.
