walt.farrell Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. More info, please. What do your headings look like, specifically. A screenshot would help.

Old Bruce Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 If there are only two numbers (1.1 ... 1.19 ) that you need you could set up the ToC text style for that level to use a Character style for Initial words and have the text colour transparent. Set the number of words to one and set the End Character to a space. Should work with the caveat that the ToC Paragraph and Character styles are a right royal pain to set up and edit.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Thanks for the example. How is the chapter number (1.1, etc.) getting into the chapter title? Are you doing that with a numbering setup in your paragraph style, or adding it manually?

walt.farrell Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I think @Old Bruce's approach is the only way to do it. Once you have generated the TOC, if you put the text cursor in the TOC you'll be able to see the text styles in the Text Styles panel. You can then double-click on the style to edit it, and watch the changes in real-time.

Kleig Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 Ok thx to both of you. I saw than i can remove the number by hands directly in the TOC, but at each update numbers come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Changing the text style used by the TOC as Bruce suggested will avoid that problem. Change it once, and unless you actually delete the toc and recreate it the numbers will be removed automatically.
