InDesign training: Table Of Contents. Adobe InDesign CC. Putting A Book Together PART 5

[@annefkl3709]

You have covered the most essential areas of using InDesign in simple 5 parts tutorials. Thank you for breaking this tutorial in parts. Made it easy for me to go back and review the parts I'm unsure of. Very clear, and precise.

[@RachelRobinson44]

I learned more with these tutorials than I did in Adobe class at art school. The sad part is I spent a lot of money and didn't get what seems like basic In Design functions. Thank you. As a self publishing author this will help me a lot.

[@NeilBeresford]

I agree with Rachel, many thanks Stanley - it was clear, a good reference, and really has helped me. I know you haven't uploaded in several years, it would be great to see more from you.

[@LillianKZ123]

Amazing tutorials! Third time watching. There are so many details to remember. Thank you Stanley! You are BRILLIANT!

[@ddavity]

Stanley, thank you A LOT for this tutorial, it's the best introduction one can get to formatting books on InDesign. I'm a total newbie on InDesign and now I feel quite confident to start with it and get some real work done with it. This could be two years old but it's an amazing work and touches almost every basic aspect that I would like to know to start working, even the GREP searches, which is not so basic tool to work with. Good work and again, thank you.

Hello Stanley, you are a fabulous tutor! Thank you so much for these 5 lessons. I'm new to InDesign and your trainings have been of great help to me to get started.

[@stanleyg3694]

You are very welcome. Glad to be of help.

[@aurelijanorkunaite9436]

@Stanley g, thank you a thousand times, this was really great 5 part tutorial! I love the way you explain, everything is so clear! Also you managed to keep it interesting and it is evident you really know InDesign very well! a pleasure to have listened to you.

[@sandyl.3535]

Excellent tutorial with many handy, extremely helpful and time-saving tips. Thanks so much!

[@bublybably]

excellent and clearly stated - i love how you trouble shoot your contents as you went along - so that i may be able to find where to adjust my styles

[@stanleyg3694]

Chester McDougan Thank you Chester. Knowing how to put things right is always an important part of my training too. I'll be uploading more training vids soon so do subscribe.

[@JanetteHeffernan]

Very well done! Thank You

[@NueiNeko]

Finally a tutorial that helped me out! Thank you so much for the upload man!

[@CeceliaDiAngeloCeceWhittaker]

Thanks for this help. The CC Forum is impossible to approach, with no avenue for asking a question-it just takes you around and around in circles. So can you possibly answer why it is that the TOC once added, and particularly if it didn't come out right, cannot possibly be deleted from the document and how one can correct this short of completely starting over?

[@arnabind]

This is simply great. Thank a lot for this video :)

[@Roxyloves17]

Thank you very much. I learnt verry much from you. Hope one day you will make a new tutorial.

[@reneeyoxon]

This was so helpful!! Thank you so much for putting in the time to explain everything so clearly :)

[@majjohansen8]

Unbelivable help!

[@whiskitty]

Thank you for sharing!

[@jenvo4598]

Hi, Can you please help me how to set up all my chapters titles (which are on 2 lines. The top line says " Part One". Then the second line says "Landscapes") to show on just 1 line on the table of contents. It should just read "Part one: Landscapes) on one line instead of 2 line in the table of contents. Thank you very much for your help! I really appreciate it. Jen

[@ilovemyunicornxoxo]

Hi! Awesome video, thanks for posting :) I am having troubles with my index.. when i add the dots they appear before my chapter titles and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it.. do you have any tips? Thanks again.

[@stanleyg3694]

there is a link to my website on my channel - drop me an email via my site - by all means email the document and I will take a look. You clearly have positioned it wrong.

[@brianmaccormaic1341]

Thank you so much for the excellent tutorials. One question (so far!). Is there any way of setting the pagination for the page numbers in my layout so that when I print the pages front and back on my home printer they can be folded and gathered in the correct order?

[@stanleyg3694]

Yes. Print booklet. helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/printing-booklets.html

[@brianmaccormaic1341]

Thank you, I'll work on that. Otherwise all is well with my layout, thanks to your tutorials.

[@LillianKZ123]

Stanley. When I add pages, IDD sticks 2 pages attached to existing spread making a 4 page spread. How can I fix that?

[@stanleyg3694]

Hi, I suggest you have turned off 'allow document pages to shuffle' - go to the pages panel menu.

[@LillianKZ123]

You're up early! Or maybe late. Are you in the UK? How can I tell which pages hte document or pages shuffle on or off? What does the down arrow on top of some pages mean? What does the square brackets around some page pairs mean? This is such a complex and robust tool but you make it seem learnable. Love your work! We just got the proof of our first book from Amazon! So excited. You help was invaluable.

[@glenmcmurchy3291]

Hi, I cannot find this answer anywhere so please help. I can create a table of contents. But how do I create the headings? How do I tell my table of contents what the headings are??

[@stanleyg3694]

+Glen McMurchy sorry for the late reply. you need to apply a paragraph style to your chapter headers.

[@LillianKZ123]

Stanley. Could you recommend a book (or downloadable pdf) that contains all the IDD windows and an explanation of each variable/setting in each window?

[@KaptainCanuck]

I do no know where the writer go his information, but using all caps in any writing is frowned up at all levels of the skilled.

[@hefron86]

Hi, can you say how tl make the numbers sorted in a right order? When i try to do it, it makes them sorted just by the first digit of a number (when it's a three digit number like 154). So it makes a big mess in my TOC. Thanks for help.

[@stanleyg3694]

Not entirely sure what you mean. So 23 is listed after 154, for example? Can you provide a link to an image of the issue?

[@fouadyakout9689]

very good thank you

[@pencilhoarder]

laying out a French book, how does indesign choose which are chapters?

[@stanleyg3694]

Hi Patricia. You apply a paragraph style to the chapter headers - you then tell that style to start on the next odd page, (Keep Options - start paragraph on next odd page).

[@JacintoandLirioPH]

Hi, I created a TOC and I do not know why there is a big space in between chapter headings of my catalog. I included chapter titles and contents under each chapter in the TOC I made. This is for product catalog TOC.

[@stanleyg3694]

There must be 'space after' included. Or, if you say you included contents as well as chapter titles, have you targeted two paragraph styles? If you would like to provide a link for me to download the document, I am happy to check it for you.

[@JacintoandLirioPH]

I have 4 paragraph styles which I have included to appear in the table of contents. Do you have an email where I can email my document? Your help is much appreciated

[@JacintoandLirioPH]

Email sent :)

[@stanleyg3694]

Thanks Anne. Please do subscribe, I will be uploading more soon.

[@annefkl3709]

stanley greening Subscribed. Look forward to more tutorials. FYI, this 5 parts tutorial are now my go-to whenever i get stuck preparing long documents....Keep it up

[@wagstaffe7]

Thanks!!!

[@stanleyg3694]

You're welcome

[@saintsfaithdesign]

This video should be called character styles and paragraph styles

[@lizzycroghan4362]

ARGHHHHHH SO HARD

[@stanleyg3694]

What is? It won't be if you followed the previous parts to this tutorial. You just need to remember to set up and apply your paragraph styles :-)

[@Lokalnygrafik]

eh, not working :/

[@stanleyg3694]

not sure i can really offer any advice on 'eh, not working'. Doesn't really give me much to go on. I can only assume you have not understood something or have made an error along the way.
