Creating Numbered Table Of Contents Chapters In Mac Pages
ฝัง

- macmost.com/e-2159 When you create a table of contents in Pages, it will include page numbers, but not chapter numbers. You can manually add chapter numbers to your chapter headings, but that can lead to a problem if you need to insert a chapter in the middle. If you want to automatically number the chapters, you can do it be adding a Bullets & Lists style to your chapter headings.

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 :)
Thanks for the vid, really appreciate it.
Very helpful- 😊 thank you
Thank you.
Much appreciated... Maybe we should request the the sub-numbering automation feature. Everything is so streamlined it would be the perfect addition.
Good exposé!
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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
@@macmost Thanks bro. I just tried it and still does not work.. I love Mac, I used to be a Microsoft lover, but for the last 10 years, MAC!!!!
@@iyoutome Is the box on the Master or something? Try creating a new box and see if that works.
@@macmost its a section master. I just tried a text box that is not a master and that does offset it. I will put in a dummy blank one in.. See if that works, I will let you know...
@@macmost The dummy text box worked bro. I just made it a title "Table of Contents Continued. That will work. Thanks so much!
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?
@@theruggednorth Sorry, I'm not understanding what you are asking. You said: "
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?
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.
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.
@@macmost that’s what I did! But when you share the document the checkbox is unable!!!
@@ricardomfreitas The checkbox to turn off TOC numbering? That's disabled when you share the Pages document? What if you disable sharing? Then turn it on. Then share it again if you need to?
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.
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.
How would I do this on my iPad which doesn’t have an F1 key?

The center of that mustache
Well, I would like to remove page numbers from contents of table
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?
For the basics, see th-cam.com/video/RzYNb31uL_Y/w-d-xo.html
How do I create new numbering like 1.0, 2.0, .. etc?
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.
@@macmost Okay, thank you 🙏🏻
Is it possible to klick on a chapter in ur table of contents and it wil go to the page of the chapter.
Yes. That's the way it works when you export as PDF or Epub. (obviously not when you print to paper).
@@macmost jaja i will keep that in mind thanks for ur help ur video's helpt alot.
Good to know.. but the fact that you can't auto number in a custom format like "Chapter X" is kinda disapointing
This does not work for footer notes ???
Not sure how this would apply to footer notes.
@@macmost I am trying to create a table of contents based on footer . Is it possible ? I tried but the table is not generating .
@@tamilindian007 I don't think you can do that. WHY would you want to do that? Maybe if I understood WHY I could suggest something.
That extra click destroys it for me.
