Generate a Simple Table of Contents in Adobe InDesign

[@Hammi4Real]

Absolute legend. I'm never using LibreOffice for this kind of task again lol.

[@dxxvah]

FINALLY a short, straight to the point video about this!! I was about to go insane, all the videos i found previously are so hard to follow and full of useless talking... thank you!!

[@bonniesmith7433]

amen brother!

Hi Tonye, thanks for the tutorial. I'm having trouble on the ToC to keep the Leader dots in place every time I press update the table but at 2:56 you solved my problem! You are covering ToC items I've never seen covered before. Please consider doing more videos on the ToC menus and subs, no one out there is covering them and these guides you provide are so helpful for book writers learning InDesign. Thanks from NY

[@TonyeCreates]

Thank you for your comment, I am glad the video helped you. I will definitely be doing a detailed tutorial on the InDesign TOC feature, watch out for it.

Big up!

[@Young_Mon]

I have a question what if I already have a premade table of contents in the book but I just wanna add a command to sort of make that my premade table to content to line up with pages in the book

[@Young_Mon]

Like lemme explain I made a book and saved in pdf then I pasted the book into indesign so I can export as epub how do I make that my already made table of contents in the book to lineup/link with rest of chapters

[@TonyeCreates]

If I understand you clearly, you want to export your InDesign book to Epub?

[@Young_Mon]

@@TonyeCreates yeah but originally the book wasn’t saved as indesign it’s a pdf book but I created a new document on indesign i set the pages and margins then if I go to paste I can paste the pdf book page by page into the indesign document

[@Young_Mon]

@@TonyeCreates but the problem I’m having is I don’t know how to make indesign understand there’s already an existing table of content which that (pdf book pasted to indesign has) and how to link each chapter on tof

[@TonyeCreates]

@Moń, That wouldn't work, you would need the native InDesign document to easily convert to Epub. But you can download this app (calibre-ebook.com/download) and use it to convert from PDF to epub directly. If you need further help, can email me (check my About tab) and I would be glad to help out. Here's a helpful article (www.lifewire.com/convert-pdf-to-epub-4581324)

You're welcome.

STAND UP Chapter heading is like 42 pt but in the table of contents it's like 15 pt. Are you able to cover how to do that? Getting confused between character and paragraph styles for table of contents. I was also wondering about TOC Style and Entry Style as well. Pretty good video covering basic but not everything.

[@TonyeCreates]

I will cover that with more detailed explanations.
