244 Text Handling

This operation works by finding all the headings in your document that use a Heading
text style (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.). It won’t find headings that you have formatted
manually, for example by just making text bold - you must have a heading text style
applied to the headings. When you invoke this operation, the following dialog appears...

Table of Contents dialog
Level

This lets you choose which headings should be included in the table. If you only want
your top level heading (usually Heading 1) to appear in the TOC, set the level to 1. The
default is level 3 so that's Headings 1, 2, and 3, although you can go right up to level 9 if
you really need to. The table of contents indents each heading according to the
heading’s level, so you get nested headings.

Include page numbers
Select this option if you want to include page numbers in your table. The page number
style is chosen to match the style of page numbers you have in the same document, if
there are any. Otherwise it uses the default number style. The table includes tab stops on
each line so that the page number appears over near the right edge of the text column or
area.
Use common website link colors
Each entry in the table of contents is linked to the appropriate heading in the document.
So this option lets you choose how the links appear in the table. If selected, the links will
use the document’s link colors, as specified on the WEBSITE (ON PAGE 462) tab of the
"UTILITIES" > "WEB PROPERTIES" dialog.
TOC Text Styles

When your table of contents is generated, a new text style is created for each level of
heading included in the table. TOC1 for Heading 1, TOC2 for Heading 2, etc. These
styles make it easy for you to customize the appearance of your table.

By default each of these styles is based on the Normal text style, so the table text should
look like the main text in your document. To change the style of any level within your
table, just make the change you want to one of the headings in your table, then select the
UPDATE option in the text styles menu to update the TOC style for that level of heading.
