Publisher Table Of Content Styling

[LarsK1]

Hey there,

how is it possible to assign different styles to an toc depending on what styles it had before. Like headings get one, and subtitles another one?

Thanks for your help,

Lars

Welcome to the forums.

I’m not quite sure what you mean by “what styles it had before” but if you are asking “Can the styles used by the TOC entries be linked to the styles used in the rest of the document so that a change to the non-TOC style will automatically be reflected in the TOC style?” the answer is, unfortunately, no. If you need the TOC styles to be the same as in the rest of the document then you need to manually set them up the same way.

Does this answer your question, or have I misunderstood?

Hey Harry,

 you misunterstood me. See the image attached (https://cloud.lars-kusch.de/index.php/s/Kx2BojciS3PQtYf), I wanted to know, how to create different font styles, depending on what style it was before. So my heading should be bold, and my subtitle normal.

Ah, sorry.
You can format each TOC level differently by changing the relevant TOC styles.
Double-click in the TOC frame and then click on a TOC entry.
You will see which TOC style has been used for that sort of entry in the Text Styles Panel.
Change the formatting for the TOC styles as you want them.
(If you are not editing a TOC frame you will not see the TOC styles.)

Extra: I’ve attached a simple example document that shows different formatting for different TOC entries.
