You can either create a standalone table of contents that will appear within your document, or you can create a table of contents for a book. I will go over the standalone table of contents first. Scroll down to learn how to create a table of contents for your book.
How do I add a table of contents that appears inside my document?
This is also called a standalone table of contents. Follow these steps:
- Click on Special --> Table of Contents...
- The following dialog box will appear:
- Click Yes.
- A new dialog box will appear. It will ask which styles you would like to include in your table of contents. (If you have not yet included styles in your document, see the Paragraph Designer page.)
- Choose which styles to include in your table of contents by selecting a style and clicking on the arrow to move the style into the "Include Paragraphs Tagged:" list.
- Click Set.
How do I add a table of contents to my book?
- After opening your book file, or creating a new book, highlight the first chapter (or file) in your book.
- Click on Add --> Table of Contents
- A dialog box will appear. It will ask which styles you would like to include in your table of contents. (If you have not yet included styles in your document, see the Paragraph Designer page.)
- Choose which styles to include in your table of contents by selecting a style and clicking on the arrow to move the style into the "Include Paragraphs Tagged:" list.
- Click Add.
- A new dialog box will appear, and will show more options. The default options are okay for now, so just hit Update.
- Your table of contents will appear in your list of chapters (or files). If you would like to move your table of contents to a different position in the list, simply drag and drop it.
