Affinity Publisher: Table of Contents, Paragraph Styles, Leading resets on ToC Update.

[Davey.Monk]

Hi all!!

I have recently switched over from Adobe InDesign to Affinity, and am currently setting up a template which includes a table of contents, but have one last issue before I'm finished.

I have the ToC looking at a couple of variations of Heading 1, and Heading 2.

I have the ToC Paragraph Styles set how I want them, yet when I hit the button to update the ToC, it resets the Leading from A to B (screenshots attached).

I've tried messing with the Leading in the ToC Paragraph styles to default to 14pts, and included overrides as well, but nothing I do seems to make the Leading want to play ball. Manually typing 14pts in the leading panel manually corrects this, but I don't want to have to do this every time I (or others) want to update the ToC.

Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated, and am happy to answer any question about how I have this set up to further assist.

Thanks again!

Hi @Davey.Monk and welcome to the forums.

Hi, is the issue paragraph leading or leading override? I assume it's leading override and if so this is a known bug. It's logged as AF-1003 and AF-1233. The workarounds are:

• Define your TOC styles with leading override set to 0 and not No Change.
• Draw a blank text frame on the TOC page. If you update the TOC and the Leading Override changes, click in the empty frame and set Leading Override to 0 and then update the TOC again.

Apologies to revive this but it completely slipped my mind to respond. This solution works fine for me until the bug gets resolved.

Thank you very much @MikeTO for your assistance!!
