Pix Images Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Help .. I've got three main styles right through a book.. Pagenumbers, Post text and post header... When I try to create a TOC, my created styles vanish and are replaced by a bunch of new default looking ones with Header 1 and Header 2 ticked.. no sign of my styles anywhere.. as soon as I delete the TOC, my styles reappear in the drop down bar along the top. Must be something dumb I've done in creating the styles maybe? Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murfee Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Hi @chrism@pix.co.nz, welcome to the forums. First thing pease change your forum display name, at the moment it is your email and makes it available to spammers, so you might want to change it to something else. You can do that at https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/settings/username/ You are not doing anything dumb 😀 TOC styles are different from your main text styles, when you select a line in your TOC a new set of styles appears. You need to edit them in the Text Styles panel. You can select the style and base it on your heading style from the main document, I have attached a screenshot that might help.

GarryP Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Just to add a little to what Murfee said above, the TOC styles are only available to modify when you are editing a TOC text frame. They are only applicable there so you can only find them there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Images Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 Thanks very much for that .. I watched the tutorial vid again and it looks as though it makes up the TOC from the Paragraph styles, not Text styles.. silly me .. Thanks again.
