Simplistic, as stated. Works great for chapters. subheadings and such that have no numbering associated with them. It becomes 5x more difficult when you have, for example, Chapter 1, subchapters 1. x+, subchapter 1. x. x+. The spacing in those numbers is NEVER equal to what is in the actual headings and is NOT easily figured out on how to align them next to the titles. It also should work for figure AND table references numbered as 1. x, 2. x, etc with the first numeral being the chapter number. and the second being the figure in the chapter.

Just to clarify, does this automatically add the hyperlinks to the pages so that when someone clicks on the TOC entry (or page number) they are automatically directed to that page? Thank you.

Hi. I was wondering how to get the style: Heading 1. page # the dots before the page #. So the dots leading from the heading to the page #. I'm not seeing that as an option. Thanks

My first assignment for my online print and web course is taking a table of contents from a magazine and duplicating it through indesign so this was extremely helpful

Thank you for your tutorial but I need help with my page numbers not showing up. I put all the paragraph styles necessary and the page numbers dont show up.

Is the generate table of contents available if I create an indesign file as a new document or must I create the file as a new book?

I'm trying to figure out how to align the numbers to the right using this method, but I'm having trouble.

Literally left out the whole part that explains how to get the text to appear and change on the footer.
