Formatting the Table of Contents

How do I format my table of contents?
  1. Open up the TOC.fm file. Click anywhere on the page and then go to View -> Reference Pages.
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the reference page. You will see the following text:
 <$paratext> <$pagenum>
 (You might see more than one instance of this text.
Repeat the steps for each additional one.)
  1. Replace the space between these two entities with a tab. (Delete the space, and then hit the tab key on your keyboard.) It will now look like this: 
  1. Go to View -> Body Pages. Then click on your first table-of-contents entry. 
  2. In the paragraph designer, click on the paragraph button. Hit the edit button under the list of tab stops. Type in "5.5" (or whatever you want) as your new tab position. Choose your leader. Click continue.
  3. In the paragraph designer, click Update All.
  4. Perform steps 5 and 6 for all additional table-of-contents styles (if you have additional styles).
  5. To make your formatting appear, update your entire book by clicking the button as shown in the screenshot below:


Similar formatting can be performed for the index by going the index reference page and placing a tab just before this text:

<$pagenum>

Then of course you must add a tab while in the body page and apply it to all.

You can also reformat the index layout so it has two columns by clicking Format -> Page Layout -> Column Layout
