Table of contents in Pages

I am writing my master thesis right now and the structure is as follows: two cover pages, acknowledgments, abstracts and then i would like to put a table of contents. previous pages are done with the appropriate style (heading 1) but when i insert the TOC, it's empty. Is there a way it can include the previous headings? I hope this is clear enough! Thank you very much!

and 8 lines under you will read:
*Creating and Updating a Table of Contents*
Each table of contents (TOC) you create using a Word Processing template lists only the content that follows it, up until the next table of contents. If you want a master table of contents for the entire document, it must be the only table of contents, and it must be at the beginning of the document.
To update the TOC after editing a document, click any entry in the table of contents, or click Update Now in the TOC pane of the Document inspector. If you don’t update the table of contents after changing a document, it updates automatically when you close the document.
You are hitting the result of the use of common resources for the Help and for the User Guide.
In the Help, the part which you reproduced is really page different of the referenced one.
It seems that the draft of the User Guide was made from the Help with a piece of code replacing the links between Help 'pages' by references to paper pages.
Sometimes the result is effectively funny but not sufficient for "a good laugh" .

How to create a Table of Contents using Pages 09?

Hi guys,
I have little problems creating a Table of Contents in Pages, though it seems quite simple. I'm working with the template 'Term Paper' and I use paragraph styles (Title, Heading I, II, etc.). I have some very long documents (about 80 pages long) so I wanted to create a TOC (using sections) but it says:
The table of contents is empty because none of the paragraph styles selected in the Document Inspector are used in the document.
When I compare the paragraph styles I do use and the paragraph styles in the Document Inspector, they match. So I'm a bit upset about this because I really need to use this great feature!
Thanks for you answers guys!

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.

Linking table of contents with pages 5.0

I write some help-books for friends and the family.
I wrote down everything I need and I've created a table of contents with page numbers.
Now you can push the numbers behind the headings and you are automatically on the right page for reading the text. (In Pages document)
In pages 5.0 these things are still working fine, but....
When I export the document into a pdf, you can't push/touch the headings and the numbers behind there headings.
With the old pages, after exporting the document into a pdf, you could import it into iBooks on the iPad. In iBooks now you can touch a heading and you'll get on the right page.
That was realy helpfull, 1 click and you could read the text on which you're interested.
But with the new pages 5.0 this feature is deleted... or I do something wrong.
Could anyone of you help me for getting this feature back, if I do something wrong?

Well there is a standard body for EPUB - http://idpf.org/epub
And, Apple furnishes the TEMPLATE - the Pages 09 TEMPLATE - automatically (supposedily) makes the TOC links which - then - you can export to EPUB.
Again, the problem I'm daling with is that the Kindle for the iPad, does not see the TOC. It des see it in the Kindle Softward for the Mac - which is different - for some reason. I have authored two books on Pages but Amazon converts my EPUB file to fit the Kindle device itself.

Table of Content with page number for entire pdf

Hi
We need to merge dynamic pdf with n number of static pdf.
The output of the generated pdf has one of the page called Table Of Content with page number.
For this we have created following process
We created a form using Adobe livecycle form designer to populates input data(xml).
We created process to generate dynamic pdf .
We have static pdf's in some folder location(Eg:C:\temp)
We created xsl to generate DDX to merge Dynamic pdf with static pdf's by using an assembler operation in the Process
There are number of static specification pdf's inserted in between of dynamic pdf using logic in xsl.
We used bookmark option in xsl for creating table of content .
While invoking the process we are able to generate the correct merged pdf with some unformatted page of table of content
We can explain better in the following way where we are actually facing a challenge:
We need a table of content in the below mentioned format:
                                                                                                             PAGE
MAIN DESCRIPTION                                                                                    n
ID1             NAME1            DESCRIPTION   1                                              m
ID2POK      NAME2            DESCRIPTION   2                                              m

MAIN DESCRIPTION2                                                                              n
ID3            NAME3            DESCRIPTION   5                                               m
ID4            NAME4            DESCRIPTION   4                                               m

Since the pdf merging and numbering is done using ddx at runtime, page number tag is not there in xml and therefore the toc page cannot be populated at the time of form design.
The issue we are facing is that, by using ddx script we are not able to align id,name,description in table of content in proper manner. We want to wrap particular id ,name and description in their respective columns.
Currently, we are getting the below mentioned result which is not in a proper format.
                                                                                                           PAGE
MAIN DESCRIPTION                                                                               n

ID3            NAME3            DESCRIPTION   3                                             m
Note: Page numbering has been done only after merging all the pdf(Dynamic and static) using ddx instead of the adobe livecycle form designer.
Is there any solution to resolve the formatting issue or any other option to create table of content dynamically ?

Hi SaCvP,
According to your description, you want to display the table of contents with page number in SSRS 2014.
In Reporting Services, the global variable PageNumber or Totalpages can be only used in the page header and page footer. In your scenario, you can create a table of content using document map, but we can’t specify the expression with PageNumber or Totalpages.
So your requirement can’t be achieved currently.

Create a Document Map (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

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?!
Greetings, diescholzens

Table of content in Pages for iPad 2

Hi,
I can not find how to create a Table of Content in Pages. Do you know how?

Nearly one year later....
The iOS version of Pages does not include an automatic Table of Contents feature. Which unfortunately makes Pages pretty much useless for my purposes. A TOC functions amongst others as a dynamic outline of a book and is as essential to me as page numbering. Why something so important and basic is not included in ios Pages is a mystery to me.

Microsoft Word-Table of Contents-Update Page Numbers

I am having trouble updating my page numbers within the Table of Contents in a Microsoft Word document. On a Windows machine, I would click to the left of the table and then click F9. On an Apple, that adjusts the brightness of the screen or modifies the screen if I accompany the F9 with the Apple or Function button. Does anyone know how to update the page numbers without creating a new Table of Contents?
Lisa

In Mac OSX it is possible to change or create keyboard shortcuts for all applications as well as the system itself.
Go to +System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse > Keyboard shortcuts+
Select the menu item for whatever application, in this case Dock, Exposé and Dashboard, click on the keyboard shortcut and change it to whatever you would like.
It will then work the next time you launch the application. If it is a menu item the name of the shortcut must match the menu name exactly.

Creating a Kindle-friendly table of contents with pages

I'm trying to figure out how in Pages (I just recently bought it and want to use it instead of Word) to create a Kindle-friendly table of contents, so readers can click on a chapter title and go straight to that chapter, for the fiction I want to publish on Kindle. In Word I right click on Heading 1 while the chapter title is highlighted then click Update to Match Selection. Then I create a hyperlink to that chapter title to its corresponding title in the table of contents. This does not work in Pages. Do I need to use the hyperlink option in Inspector? If so I don't know how.
And does anyone know how I can create what Kindle calls "Guide Items", where Kindle users can go to from anywhere within the book?
I suppose I can write everything in Pages and then set up the table of contents and guide items in Word but it would be nice to be able to do it in Pages, thanks.

How do I add a title to my table of contents in Pages?

I am attempting to write a research paper using the paragraph styles and headings features. I have also added a table of contents, which looks great and allows me to jump to each section of the paper. HOWEVER, I can't seem to be able to title that table of contents page. All I want it to say is "Table of Contents", which should be simple, right? I don't want to put it in the header because APA formatting is very particular about how all of this stuff should look, so this title needs to really be in the body of the page. How do I make this happen?
Many thanks.

The TOC is a block of text.
Get your cursor in front of it by clicking or using your arrow keys, then hit return to make a new paragraph before the TOC and type your Head in that.

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 & 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?

Is there a way to generate table of contents into page links?

I have created a PDF document from a data modeling tool. After the document is created I am looking to generate page links en masse from the table of contents to the appropriate referenced page. I know I can add links one at a time, but that is too time consuming. Please give me a clue, this is driving me crazy. Thanks for any help.
