How do I create a table of content in a Pages Template (lay-out) document?

Dear all,
I recently started designing a brochure in Pages, using a lay-out document. The document counts over 100 pages. Now I need to make a table of contents and I just don´t get how to do this...
Any help is more then welcome!
With warm regards,
Nina

That sounds more like a book than a "brochure".
You can not make a TOC in Layout mode. The TOC only scans the styled text in the default text area (between the margins) of Word Processing documents and ignores everything else.

  • How do I create a Table of Contents in InDesign CS6 for print that easily converts to epub?

    How do I create a Table of Contents in InDesign CS6 for a print book that easily converts to epub? 
    Can anyone point me to a link for a step-by-step (not a video) on setting up all the elements of a print book properly (pages, table of contents and index) so they will convert and reflow perfectly from print to epub in InDesign CS6. This is not about building an ebook from ground up, but taking 50 backlisted print books (converted from old versions of Quark to InDesign) that now need to be converted to epub formats.
    OR could someone point me to the link in the Adobe InDesign CS6 support that explains how to create a Table of Contents for a print book (5.5" x 8.5", 288 pages), one that will convert when the file is converted to ePub (for MAC OSX)?
    Just downloaded the 706 page inDesign CS6 reference manual from Adobe <http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf>  but there's not even a search feature on the pdf file.
    Up until this week, we have only done print books, creating the TOC the old fashioned way, as a fixed page, comprised of two columns: page numbers and chapters/subject. The files I have created are taken by our printer and printed beautifully.
    However, when I convert the same book to epub in CS6, the character and paragraph styles converted beautifully - but everything else is all over the place! The table of contents is on different pages, the columns split apart. That goes for the page contents as well - everything is all over the place. when it's converted to a pdf -- total perfection. Never any problems converting with perfection to pdf format and reading those on the various readers.
    (Thank you so much in advance for any help).

    <http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf> Adobe Digital Reader does have a search feature for reading pdfs. Found the TOC instructions on page 176 of 706 pages.

  • How do I create a Table of Contents page for ePub that link?

    I am new to E-Publishing, I have been able to my overall book but cannot figure out the Table of Contents. I need them to link to the chapter page. I have created a table of contents and they dont link. I tried to create hyperlink within the document but they only work in the pdf version and not the ePub. What can i do so that they link in the ePub version as well ?
    I dont know if this information would be helpful but I also wanted to mention that All the chapter names are set to the same style, and that the Table of content I have created so far was made through the TOC option in InDesign. Also the layout is fixed and I am using InDesign CC 2014

    Make sure the TOC is in the style source document
    Thank you so much! This was the thing I did wrong. There had been another document marked for style source. Now it works perfectly.

  • How do I create a table that breaks for new pages?

    I'm running Pages 5.5.1 on OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and am having difficulty understanding table behavior.
    Scenario 1 - I create a new file and insert a table at the top of the first (blank) page.  It automatically is selected for Object Placement>Move With Text.  If I add rows to this table, Pages automatically adds a new page and breaks the table so that additional cells appear on the new page.  All well and good.  If I change the Object Placement to Stay on Page, the second page and those cells disappear.
    Scenario 2 - I create a file and first add a few lines to the top of the first page.  Then, I insert a table below those lines.  It is also automatically selected for Object Placement>Move With Text.  When I add rows, the table does not break for the second page, but the entire table jumps to the second page.  If I change the Object Placement to Stay on Page, I can then slide the table back onto page one, but as in Scenario 1 the portion of the table which would continue onto page two disappears.
    So, how do I create a table that I can add to a page which is not blank (as in Scenario 2) which will break automatically onto page 2 instead of jumping, and so the rows appear on page two (not disappear as I describe above)?
    Thank you for your help.

    The inline table is supposed to break but like most things Pages 5 it is buggy and erratic in its behavior.
    Use Pages '09.

  • Can anyone tell me how I can create a Table Of Contents, in Pages?

    I'm wanting to create and evolve a document in my iPad, but really need a Table Of Contents.
    I've installed Pages, but can't figure out a table of contents.
    I'm happy to hear suggestions of other apps that may do it too.
    Thanks :)

    Thanks anyway mvimp, was good of you to reply &amp; try to help me.
    Unfortunately, I think you're right JimHdk - I can't find TOC in the iPad version of Pages.
    So does anyone know an app that will let me prepare a document (like an ebook I guess) that has a TOC?

  • How do I create a table of contents with a nested style paragraph?

    I'm having difficulty figuring out how to generate my Table of Contents with a nested style. In this screen shot, "SPECIAL EVENTS" is considered level one and the pink circled "Fittest Firm Challenge" is level 2. Because it is a nested style, it is picking up the entire paragraph. I don't want to put in a paragraph break because that would add too much space in the magazine since there are a lot of other listings like this. I've tried reading through other people's discussions but I'm totally lost with the explanations. Is there a simple workaround or solution to this?

    You're asking InDesign to do something it's not designed to do, namely, to treat a nested-style section of a paragraph as an independent paragraph. That's called a "run-in paragraph" in Adobe FrameMaker, and it's been a beloved feature there since FrameMaker was introduced in '89, about ten years before InDesign.
    You can make a formal feature enhancement request here: Wishform Many InDesign features have come into being from user requests, so lend your voice, and be patient. Explain why you think a run-in paragraph feature would be useful.
    Others have asked about this, and there are a number of workarounds that may or may not be suitable for you. Let's hope that some of the more-intense forum folks can help you with a useful search term for this forum, so that you can review what's been suggested and tried in the past, and what results you can expect.
    In the meantime, you might consider inserting the second-level heading in an inline anchored text frame in the paragraph. It will be an independent paragraph but you can adjust appear on the same line as following paragraph. Then you can extract it for the TOC.
    Here's an example:

  • How do i create a table of contents?

    I need clear, step-by-step directions. The help section is not well-written, and the video tutorial was useless for me.  My project is a recipe booklet with about seven section headings, each with about five recipes. None of the Apple people, not on the phone nor in the store, have been able to help me.  The best the tech at the store came up with was a TOC listing ingredients or random words (within some of the recipes) with page numbers. 

    1. The text you want to index must be in the main text area (between the margins) of a Word Processing document. It can not be in floating text boxes, Layout documents have only floating text boxes so can not be indexed.
    2. You must apply named Styles to the text you want to index, from the Styles Drawer:
    Menu > View > Show Styles Drawer
    You can make your own, they don't have to be Apple's ready named styles.
    3. Click in the front of the document before the text you want to index:
    Menu > Insert > Table of Contents
    4. Select from the list of styles in Inspector > Document > TOC that you want indexed

  • How to indent second line in a very long heading when creating a table of contents?

    I need to make a table of contents.
    Some of the chapter headings are very long and fill more than a single line.
    When I create my table of contents, I want the second lines to be 'pushed in' in the table.
    Like this
    1 chaper one xxxxxxxxxxx
    2 Chapter two xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    3 Chapter three x xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
         xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx
    4 Charpter four xxxxx xxxxx
    5 Chapter five xxxxxxxxxx xxx xxxxx xx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
         xxxxxxxxx xxxx xxxxx
    I thought I had solved it by having the actual chapter headings indented like this, but the table of contents overlooks this/overrules this.

    See also my reply to the duplicate thread:

  • How to Create a Table of Contents From an Imported PDF File?

    I have imported a 150 page PDF file into inDesign 5. I want to create a Table of Contents for my document, but there are no paragraph or heading styles in the document. If I built the document in inDesign, I would have labeled each chapter "Heading 1" and then instructed inDesign to collect up all the Heading 1s and make a TOC automatically.
    But I didn't create this PDF, it has no formatting at all. Its just been placed in the inDesign document space.
    Anyone have any tips of how I can pick out all the Chapter headings.....they are in a distinctive format (14 point bold) from the rest of the document text.
    Anyone?

    InDesign cannot read *anything* out of a PDF file.
    Open in Acrobat, copy heading, paste in InDesign. Repeat until done.

  • How to create a table of contents in a PDF

    I was wondering if anyone knew how to use preview in order to create a table of contents. This would make it easier for me to find my way around my PDF files.
    Thanks

    Preview cannot do this - it is not a PDF editing utility. If you have the original document in an editable format (eg a Pages, or Word document) then you can edit it, print it, and from the print dialogue, save as a PDF. Otherwise you'll need the full Adobe product or similar to acheive what you want.

  • How to create a Table of content in pages?

    I am using iPad pages, and figuring out how to create a table of content.

    I would say: Try and Error. Create a copy of your document and unmark in the copied document in the document inspector all boxes for the TOC. Then mark them again. Maybe you should also delete the paragraph styles and mark them again. If that doesn't work, try to copy the complete text of your document to a new created one. Maybe that works.
    Good luck!
    P.S.: If that doesn't work look here. Maybe this helps.
