Table of Contents: page numbers not showing

[JeffreyWalther]

Hi,

Is there any hidden option to unhide the page numbers in the table of contents?
Though my heading are all found, the page numbers are not displayed. They are missing.
A bug in the beta?

This is probably too obvious, but do your pages actually contain a text frame where you've told Publisher to insert the page numbers?

Yes, I do.

I added a text frame in the master page and inserted the page number.
The page numbers are displayed on the pages itslef, but are not inluded in the TOC (while the headings do).

[walt.farrell]

Interesting. They work for me, so other than suggesting that you attach a copy of your .afpub file here so others can try it, I'm out of suggestions for now.

[JeffreyWalther]

There seems to be something odd if you create your own style and then use this one in the TOC.
Then the numbers are not shown up.

If you use the standard Heading 1 for example, it works. With own styles not.

I notice that if I save a publication and come out of Pub, when I go in again I find I  have to reallocated the master to all the pages before the numbers show up on the pages again.

May be obvious..but have you selected the right checkbox in TOC Panel Style list to activate the numbers?

[JeffreyWalther]

OMG!! That's it!

This checkbox is so hidden due to the short table topic!
Thank you very much to pointing me out.

It' easy to get caught out....you can put TOC's on Master pages...and Style the Number and TOC text independently

Is there a way to define separator dots (..........) to fill out all blanks from the heading up to the set tab (where the number appears),
independent of the character length of each heading?

APPLES.........1
BANANAS.....2
FRIES.............3

[StuartRc]

Yes you can Sorry...managed to crash it!

It's Quite easy really...Edit the Paragraph Style:

Go to Tab Stops and simply add a 'Leader' (.)

Hello Stuart,
Thank you very much. It works!

I've completed an entire camera brochure within 2h hours,
while the same stuff in another crappy application took me days.

Thank you!

Hi, I cannot find any checkbox in the TOC panel to activate the numbers :-(. Am i looking at the wrong place? Can you please tell where to find it?

Found it! I'm going to buy me some glasses:-)

I got stuck with this too. But I am glad there is a solution.
The problem is the column of tick boxes #s  or should I say check boxes?   
It  (#) has so many names Pound, hash, numbers.  
It really is not that obvious.

I also didn't find this important detail looking through all the tiny boxes etc although I watched the otherwise very helpful Tutorial video in the Learn section, it isn't mentioned there. I resolved the problem from reading this post, so perhaps this detail could be added on to the video if it is ever edited?

Thanks for the tip on include page numbers check box.
