I love you for this... almost started to cry while trying to do this on my own

Thank you - your video saved me a great deal of time and frustration :)

Much appreciated... Maybe we should request the the sub-numbering automation feature. Everything is so streamlined it would be the perfect addition.

Thanks for the vid, really appreciate it.

Very helpful- 😊 thank you

Hmm I can't figure out how to get past the first step! I click Insert, then Table of Contents, and those three options are all greyed out. Not sure what I'm missing. Each of my chapters has a Heading.

So happy I found you! Can you tell me why my contents page is non responsive and the page numbers appear on the next line instead of across from the titles?

Good exposé!

Thanks so much, Gary. How can we do chapters for a novel without having a table of contents?

How do you mean? Without a Table of Contents there is nothing to do. Just start a new page (if you want) and write "Chapter X" or whatever you want in whatever style you want.

@@macmost My novel has 100 chapters but now that I have manually added them I can’t add or subtract a chapter in between without messing up the whole order (as you said in your video). I want to have chapters without the table of contents visible at the start of the book. Is there any way to do that?

Thank you. I want to design a magazine and your video "Basic Newsletter Layout in Pages" helped me a lot. Do you think there is a big difference between the open source software "scribus" and pages?

Great trick! Any hints on how to create a Table of "tables" where the table name to appear in the Table of tables is the name of the table in the first row (for example). Thanks in advance.

Sorry, not following you there. Are you talking about a Table of Contents, or a regular table?

hey Gary! I am inserting a TOC after my book has been created and now about to upload in epub. Can I get the newly revised TOC to click to certain pages in my epub?

Thank you.

Good to know.. but the fact that you can't auto number in a custom format like "Chapter X" is kinda disapointing

How would I do this on my iPad which doesn’t have an F1 key?

Hi! is it possible to do the same but replace the number of the page with the number of the chapter?? Thank you!

No, but you don't need this special function for that. Just create your own table of contents with regular text as you like. Chapter numbers don't shift like page numbers do as you edit your document.

Help please ....I'm stuck and frustrated trying to create TOC in pages...I don't want numbers and when I click on title in content table, it doesn't take me to the article?

I'm making a Table of Contents with 2 columns and a dotted line from column 1 to column 2 where I place the page number. The page numbers will not align. Could you point me to your video that explains this? Thank you

I don't have a video that deals with that exact problem. This is probably the closest one. Just keep working with the formatting to get it like you want. Experiment. Play around. That's all I would be doing if I had the same problem.

how do you get it to recognize the word or words as what you want it to be a title? I keep trying to highlight and then click "Title" under paragraph styles but it's ignoring that and keeps giving me an error message that it can't generate a table of contents because I'm not using the paragraph style set to appear in it. What step am I missing?

Watch from 1:17. The Title style is probably not being used for the table of contents, but the Heading style.

Hey brother, thanks for sharing. I have a question, I have a repeating text box across the top of my document and was wondering if you know of a way to add line breaks so that the second page of the table of contents does not overlap the text box. Cheers!, Claudio....

Make sure the text box is set Text Wrap: Automatic or some other setting to force the TOC to wrap around it.

Great video! But I would like to create a table of contents where I will use just a Title and subtitle. I want to align the text in the center (not changing the ruler) and without number of the page in the end, and subtitle tradicional (align left and with the number of the page in the end). Is it possible? I saw an old version of pages where you select a check box on the left to enable the contents and a check box on the right where it enable or not the number of the page.

I almost had sure I could do this before. And after searching a lot, someone said it happened after he shared the document with a colleague. And it was exactly what happened to me too. I duplicate the document and after that I can hide the number of the page. The option is hidden when you share the file. I think it's a good content to make a video!!!!!

Yes. Try it and you'll see. You can select the TOC and then use the Format, Table of Contents sidebar to select Title and Subtitle only. Then select the title-styled items in the TOC and use Format, Text to turn off numbers (it is a checkbox at the bottom) and then center.

It won't do it automatically for you, but you can just name the heading lines things like "1.0 Chapter Name" and then the same will appear in the TOC.
