Hello, I have successfully generated a standard table of contents by using a CHAPTER HEADING text style. It correctly generates the pages number. Following that table, I want to create a Table of Figures. I have added a small text frame underneath each image containing the caption text and use a text style of Caption.

When I generate the Table of Figures it does list the captions, but there no corresponding page numbers!!! 

I tried the following:

1) Added the Caption text style to the Table of Contents TOC where the page numbers are correctly shown for CHAPTER HEADINGS - still no page numbers for Captions.

2) Deleted the Table of Figures and recreated it from scratch - still no page numbers for Captions.

3) Copied and pasted the working Table of Contents to a new page, renamed it Table of Figures and added Caption text style - still no page numbers for Captions.

I am getting very  frustrated with this which should be a straightforward task. Why does AP make it so hard?

Can anyone help me please?

There is the option to show/hide page numbers in the ToC panel. It is the little 'hamburger' menu to the right of the Style name.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Bruce, thank you very much. That worked a treat! I have to wonder, though, why is this optional? Why would anyone want to generate a table of contents and not show the page numbers? I think at least that checkbox option to show page numbers should be defaulted to on, not off.

I may have three section names that I want included in the ToC yet have the ToC would look like

Chapter 6 ....................... 114

                  Section 2

Chapter 7 ....................... 129

 

instead of 

 

Chapter 6 ....................... 114

                  Section 2        129

Chapter 7 ....................... 129

 

And yes I agree that Page numbers on by default would be best and expected.
