Publisher Table of Contents not working - no styles available in list


Recommended Posts

Hi, I wonder if someone can help me... 

It's the first time I'm using table of contents in Publisher. I have the document almost complete with a page set out ready to receive the TOC. I have the document text formatted using Text Styles as appropriate. I've drawn my text box and have then selected to insert the TOC which brings up the TOC control panel box. However, in the 'style name' section,  NO styles are listed. As a result, Publisher tells me that 'no table of contents entries were found'. What am I doing wrong? How do I get the text styles from my document into the TOC control panel such that I can select the relevant ones to be used to determine the TOC?

All thoughts/suggestions gratefully received!

Edward

That seems odd.

Did you create this from scratch, or is it imported from some other application? Is the text directly on document pages, or is it in Placed files (PDF, for example)?

Can you provide a sample .afpub file with the same problem?

Hi Walt, 

Thanks for the reply - it seems that there was some problem with the text/paragraph styles... they were selected in the panel but were not coming through to the drop down menu at the top. I've resaved the styles and reapplied them using the top menu drop-down and now they are appearing in the TOC box so it's all working fine (-ish!)

Thanks for your help.

Edward
