Hi there. In this video,
we're going to make a table of contents like this,
but we're going to do it automatically where it pulls
all the titles that we've used throughout document and it
automatically adds them to this list with the correct number and styles it automatically.
All right. Let's go and learn how to do that.
First thing is, I'm going to jump to Page 3,
it's where I'm going to put my Table of Contents,
double-click it, zoom in a little bit.
I need to go to layout and go to "Table of Contents."
Now, the one thing that makes table of contents,
especially this automatic one work,
is the use of paragraph styles.
During this tutorial, we've gone through and applied
this thing called Subheading to all of the headings.
The cool thing about it is if I add it to this,
it's going to add it to my table of contents.
If I leave it just like this,
click "OK" drag it out,
you'll see that all of my headings,
the chief executive review, tracking in progress.
You can see here executive review,
tracking our progress is all being included in the table of contents.
One thing I want to do though, is I'm going to get it,
undo hit it, undo is apply styles while I'm doing it.
Layout, table of contents,
I want my sub heading to be added.
Click it across. Now, this is the title,
it's just that words that go at the top.
We're going to call it a table of contents.
The style that's going to have,
we'll give it the talk title. Can you see these?
These are the headings that I've made,
but now there's this magical new one called TOC,
table of contents title.
This is one that InDesign is going to generate for us that we can update.
The same thing goes for the actual contents of a table of contents.
If I leave it, we saw that it had the same styles as our heading instead of same style,
I'm going to click on this new one,
TOC Body copy brand new made for us for
InDesign that we can adjust the styling afterwards.
Good, let's click "OK" Same thing I am going to
click hold and drag it out and we've got a table of contents.
Because, if you don't have any paragraph styles,
you either have to manually type it all out,
copy and paste and try and work out with the page numbers are that it's
a manual or you going to have to go through
Creative Paragraph Style and go through and applied to all the headings.
Then you can do it automatically like we have here.
Let's look at how Styles. I go to Window,
let's go to styles and let's go to paragraph styles.
Two new ones are being generated.
We've got TOC title and TOC body copy.
That one, the TOC title controls the contents and TOC body takes controls all of this.
It's a pretty ugly looking paragraph style,
so we're going to go and adjust it.
So table of contents, this talk style,
I'm going to go through and say actually we're going to use my Roboto.
I'll use the slab bold.
I'm going to make sure it's left aligned.
I'm going to use my red.
You can see like we did earlier,
we're going to replicate and say "Redefined style."
Okay. The reason we do that is because if we update the table of contents,
it reverts back to its original style.
If we don't re-define the style like this one here,
say we go and make some changes just quickly. I'm going to make it smaller.
I'm going to pick Arial,
and we do all of this and then we have to go through this,
but this is layout and it says,
"Update table of contents."
We move things from different pages. If I click.
"Update", you can see it updates it great,
but it also reverts back to the ugly-looking paragraph style. Let's select it.
Let's make it Roboto ,
we make it Roboto medium.
I'm going to change it to 10.
I'm going to increase the leading a bits.
Before I move on, I need to right-click and say, "Re-define style."
Now, what we can do is we can go through and say this is just to exchange,
It's called Chief executives review now it's the chief executive's rent.
If I come up to here, you'll notice it's not dynamic.
It doesn't update automatically,
but I can manually go and say layout and go Update Table of Contents
and it's updated to rent and skip it's lovely new paragraph style.
We've gone through of just that,
even if we change numbers.
This one here, say in front of this one I put column break.
Type and special characters and set break characters and go to column break.
Say they tracking our progress is now on Page 6 up here, where are you?
There you are. We need to go so it's 05.
Just got up to layout.
Actually you have to click inside of it.
Grab the type tool, click inside, layout,
update template contents and you'll see at adjusts
and all the ones after I'd have adjusted as well.
Next thing we're to do and the thing that had been ignoring
is these weird numbers that are real jammed up to the side.
We're going to learn tags in the next video,
okay, and that'll help us fix that.
