Can't insert a Table of Contents

I'm trying to create a new document using one of Pages built in templates (Page Layout - Newsletters - Sailing Newsletter) and I can't seem to add a Table of Contents no matter what I do. It's just "grayed out" and wont let me do anything. Can someone please help? I've been using Pages for a while now, but this is my first real attempt at adding a table of contents. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jesse

  • How can I generate a table of contents from bookmarks

    How can I generate a Table of Contents from bookmarks in Adobe Acrobat XI?

    Something to try.
    Rick Bostein  provided a "Create Bookmark Report" Acrobat Action.
    With this report as a PDF you could insert it at the start of your PDF document to serve as a "TOC".

  • In creating a fillable PDF in XI Pro, can I insert a table which can be tabbed through?

    In creating a fillable PDF in XI Pro, can I insert a table which can be tabbed through?

    You're in luck. Create the first field and then right-click it (in Form Edit mode) and select Create Multiple Copies. You'll be able to specify how many copies of the fields to generate, and at what intervals. The nice thing is that although the properties of the new fields will be identical to the source one, they'll each have a unique name, so you'll get an instant "table" of fields.

  • How can I insert a table in the header?

    The question is easy: How can I insert a table of one row in the header.
    Thanks in advance.

    There are multiple versions of Pages in circulation on Mavericks and Yosemite. Telling us which one helps with a more accurate answer.
    If you are referring to Pages v5, then you cannot insert a table into the header or footer, because implicitly, these are table cells too. The discontinued Pages ’09 v4.3 would allow table insertion in the document header/footer fields.

  • How can I insert a table in headnote so it will show on each page?

    Thank you much

    It isn't possible to do. Maybe can make the tables as an backround image. http://help.apple.com/pages/mac/5.0/?lang=en#/tan9fdc65243

  • Can you create a table of contents for the documents within a PDF Portfolio?

    If I create a pdf portfolio that contains multiple documents (e.g. Word, multiple PDFs and Excel documents), is there a way to create a table of contents at the beginning of the portfolio to help navigate to the individual documents?

    Hi,
    The Files list displays a list of files, so the user can quickly see all the files in the portfolio with any information you want to share; title, description, file type, size etc.
    Or, you can also use a different layout, for example, the Linear and use the space next to each file to describe it.
    Hope this helps.......

  • Can I create a Table of Contents (CS6) in a separate document of book file?

    I'm helping someone create an ebook. He has three separate sections of his book so there are three files that make up the Indesign book. I currently have a table of contents at the beginning of each of the three sections and when I pdf the book, it works great. But when I export it as a Kindle ebok, only the TOC for the very first section works. I don't know how to fix it so that I can have multiple TOCs so if anyone knows, I would welcome advice on that! Otherwise I was thinking of just having one TOC in a separate file so my book would be made of a TOC and then the three sections of the book. But when I create a new document and try to add a TOC, it won't do it because the doc is blank. I'm sure there must be a way to have a separate document for a TOC that is actually functional when the book is exported.
    I hope this makes sense!

    Hi,
    If you need TOC for each file in itself then while creating TOC, select 'Make text anchor in source paragraph' and it will make TOC as hyperlinks in exported epub.
    If you need TOC in a separate document, then add a new document to book and while creating TOC in this document select 'Include Book Documents' and it will bring styles from all documents in the book in this document and then you can create a TOC for all the document. Also select 'Make text anchor in source paragraph' so that it will work as hyperlink in exported epub.
    And if you do not even want to place TOC in your document and need it in exported epub then create a TOC style in source document of book which is a TOC for all documents in book. When exporting to EPUB, select 'TOC Style' in Navigation drop down and then select your created TOC style in next drop down.
    Thanks

  • Adobe PDF Pack - Can I create a Table of Contents in combined PDF files I am creating?

    Can I create in Adobe PDF Pack a table of contents for PDF files I am combining? 
    If the answer is YES do I name each of the PDF documents name the name I want the page to be named in the Table of Contents?
    Thank  you.
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    When you combine files into a single PDF, each file you include will have a bookmark in the Bookmarks panel in Acrobat/Reader. So, I suppose you could treat that as a Table of Contents. (It doesn't, however, create a separate TOC and append it to the file.) The bookmark names reflect the filename of each file you combined.
    I hope that answers your question.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Can you generate a Table of Contents using bookmarks?

    Hi,
    I am a newbie to InDesign and am probably missing the obvious but...
    I am creating a document in InDesign and want to generate a Table of Contents. I have just created a de facto ToC with Bookmarks for the exported PDF version of the file, but there seems to be no way to take this information and use it to creat an actual ToC in the ID file itself. My bookmark list contains the information for all the chapter and sub headings along with the page locations, all the data I need to create my ToC, but I can't find a way to do this. I don't understand why I have to use paragraph styles to set this up? It is overly complicated for my needs, added to that it is duplicating my work. If I have to set up paragraph styles for the print version and bookmarks for the PDF version, why can't one set of information be used to generate both version of a Toc?

    You don't consider 100 pages a long doc? Ouch. If it needs a TOC, I'd say that's pretty definitive for it being long.
    I know users who set up styles for even one-page projects. I figure it's worth setting up a style for any formatting that will repeat more than twice, regardless of document length. It's pretty fast using the format/select/define style method  of formatting text the way you want, then selecting it and choosing "New Style" from the appropriate panel.

  • Can I delete the Table of Contents?

    I am making a book that will not require a Table of Contents. Can I delete it? None of the options (Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Duplicate) will work (They come up grey and will not let me click them).

    No. But you can minimize it. Show Inspector, Click on Documents (leftmost icon), select TOC, highlight each item in the list and click – (minus) for each. - Fabe

  • How can I edit the table of contents?

    I'm unable to do anything to the table of content. I don't want numbers, 1.2 for Chapter 1, Section 2
    Is there a way to cjange this or do I just eliminate chapters and sections.

    If you choose none and your book isn't complying, you have other issues, such as maybe a corrupted book, or maybe a template that is locked for that attribute.
    Try making another, fresh book and then see if it obeys page numbering as you need there.

  • Table of contents in Pages - can't get it to work

    Tried creating a Table of Contents in pages
    Marked my headlines, changed them into title, heading and subheading.
    When everything needed was changed into proper format, I wanted to insert the table of contents from the menu. I get the error message, that no text is formatted in the correct way and therefore my table of contents can't be created.
    I previously used MS Office - and creating a table of contents works in the same way. I have read the users guide for Pages, trying to figure out what I've done wrong - but it didn't work out.
    If anybody could solve this peace of mystery I'll be very thankful
    Maria

    Hi Terry,
    you helped Maria so well. Maybe you can help me aswell ... I just started using Pages (trial version) and have used MS Office before that. I want to create a TOC based on styles that are numbered as follows: 1. heading 1
    1.1. heading 2
    1.1.1. heading 3
    1.1.1.1. heading 4 asf.
    If I create a numbered style it will only have 1. and no further level (is that the right word? I'm German, sorry!). If I create a style from a numbered list (where it is possible to have different levels) I can create a TOC but have to format that completely aswell (the TOC doesn't have the format of the headings, in particular the numbers are gone and also the format). In MS Word it seems to be much easier. Here I create a style (heading 1, 2, 3, etc.) and can asign numbers and levels to the headings. The TOC shows the exact same format as the headings in the document. How can this be achieved in Pages? Apple should actually do better then MS, shouldn't it?!

  • Insert Table of Contents?

    Is there a way to insert a table of contents into a PDF (by marking sections, or some other way)? If so, how? Also, if I PDF 2 seperate Word documents, and then combine them into one PDF, is there a way to update the ToC?

    I know, but b/c of certain circumstances, the first part of the document requires a lot of preparation in PDF (inserting many many sound files) and the second part of the document may not be ready for PDFing until right before the deadline. So, is there a way to do it?

  • Can't insert Table

    I can't insert a table into my file.  What am I missing?  The options are grayed out. 

    Tables behave as inline objects (in text). You must have a live insertion point (blinking cursor) to insert a table. So if you draw out a text frame, then click in it to set an insertion point, the Insert Table command should become available.

  • Problem with Sections and Table of Contents

    I have just purchased pages. Both my iMac and MacBook have Lion. I do not have the "sections" button on the toolbar. When I open the "inspector" and try to insert a Table of Contents, the "paragraph styles" pane is empty. How can I correct these problems as I would like to use pages for a family story

    You have started your document with a Page Layout template. TOC doesn't work with text boxes. You need to use a Word Processing document and have the text in the main text layer.
    In the New from Template Chooser you can see the types in the left side bar.
