TOC not working at all (osx - m1pro) Affinity Publisher 1.10.5

[hjh88]

I have tryed to Create a TOC.

No luck.

The entire panel is not active at any time. Selecting tea text frame - no, writing in a text frame no. 

I normally use Indesign, and must admit it is a MUCH better program. I do hope affinity will work in the future. It was the same when Id came trying to replace Quark.

No TOC, no index, no auto/flow on placed-linked text when updating the original text aso.

But - please help, I would very much like to use Affinity so small project with students, and hope you will get up to speed at some time in the future.

used : https://affinity.help/publisher/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Advanced/toc.html?title=Table of contents as reference.

best regards

Hans

I Got it to work by redoing and getting the insert TOC on a page.

Then I could reformat the TOC. The manual does not give any hint for that process.

Ill have to retry it / so that I van make notes on how to do it!

The @bookmarks to pdf translats into "make TOC entry link to pages", nice but hard to understand...

 

best regards

I think you'll find that the TOC entries always link to the pages. The Bookmarks option is something else, and creates a separate set of PDF bookmarks that your PDF reader can display as a kind of second TOC, outside of the document TOC you're creating.
