Introduction

This is what we'll create in this episode: a magazine-style table of contents page, automatically generated from article titles, complete with photos and editorial notes. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Magazine tables of contents are usually more visual than those in books. Nevertheless, entries and page numbers can still be automatically generated from paragraph styles.

Step 1: Article title style

Open the magazine rasa. Pages 4, 6, and 8 contain articles whose titles use the paragraph style for titles. This is the source for the automatic table of contents.

4 | Step 2: Table of Contents page

Go to page 2, the left page after the cover. Place the spice photo in the lower half as a visual touch.

" | — Step 3: Table of Contents

Select layout, table of contents. Fill in title with the table of contents. Insert the title style into include paragraph style, and select the entry style that has a right-aligned tab with a dotted leader. Click OK and drag it to the top of the page. Compare the entries with the pages panel, tracking spice on page 4, morning in the traditional market on page 6, and recipe on page 8.

Numbers are taken from the actual article positions.

In the right column, add a small editorial title and one introductory paragraph. Editorial notes add a personal touch to the table of contents page.

! 4 | — Step 6: Spread view

View the spread of pages 2 and 3. The table of contents, photo, and editorial notes are arranged following the same 6-column grid as the other pages.

Done. We've checked the styled titles, prepared the table of contents page, created the table of contents, checked the page numbers,
