Introduction
This is what we'll create in this episode, an automatic table of contents that takes the BAP titles and page numbers directly from the document, complete with dotted leaders. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe InDesign series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Manual tables of contents are easy to get wrong when pages change. InDesign automatically creates a table of contents from paragraphs that use specific paragraph styles.
Step 1: Chapter Title Style
Open the guide book file. Each BAP title uses a title paragraph style. This is the main requirement for an automatic table of contents. InDesign searches for paragraphs based on style, not appearance.
Step 2: Table of Contents Page
Insert one blank page after the cover for the table of contents. Double-click the page to activate it.
Step 3: Table of Contents Dialog
Select layout, table of contents. Fill in the title with table of contents and select the TOC title style. In the other style section, select title and click add so it enters the include paragraph style.
Step 4: Entry Style and Page Number
Select the entry style entry TOC, which already has a right-aligned tab stop with dotted leaders. Set page number after entry and bet when entry and number with the tab character. Click OK. The cursor changes to a loaded text cursor.
Step 5: Placing the Table of Contents
Text in the marine area of the table of contents page. BAP titles and their page numbers appear, separated by right-aligned dotted leaders.
Step 6: Update Table of Contents
If the text changes and the BAP moves to another page, click on the table of contents and select layout, update table of contents. Page numbers are automatically updated and InDesign displays a confirmation.
Done!
Done. We have ensured that titles use styles, prepared the page, set up the table of contents dialog, selected the entry style with leaders, placed the table of contents, and updated it. In the next episode, we create hyperlinks and bookmarks for interactive PDFs. Need a layout design for a magazine, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report?
