soulburn Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hey there! So I have setup a table of contents for my book project, however, many chapters begin not with the chapter title, but instead with a picture on the left hand page. So the page number in the TOC is the page that has the chapter title on the right page, not the picture that's on the left page. Is there any way to use the table of contents generator to create the table of contents, but then edit it after the fact to give it the correct page numbers? Thanks! - Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted November 20, 2020 Staff Share Posted November 20, 2020 Once the TOC has been generated you can manually edit the page numbers and text but if you need to update the TOC you will loose all of the edits as the TOC will use the original information.

walt.farrell Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Assuming that the chapter title is in a text style named "Chapter Title", this would work for those chapters that start with a picture: Add a text frame to the page with the picture. Add a duplicte copy of the chapter title to that text frame, using the Chapter Title text style. Hide the text frame in the Layers panel. It will be invisible to the reader, but will appear in the TOC because it has the right text style. On the next page, with the visible chapter title, change the text style of the chapter title to one that is not included in the TOC. Generate the TOC. sfriedberg 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Martin Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 For reasons that I cannot fathom, the page numbers for my table of contents are not appearing. (I would prefer them to the right of the text.) This has happened before, but I can't recall what affects the page number display. I would be grateful for a steer.

In the TOC panel, in the area where you select the text styles to include in the TOC: to the right of the style name there's a spot to indicate whether you want page numbers.
