Operating In Adobe InDesign and your file requires a table of contents? Prior to you triggered to produce one by hand, wait a minute! There's a much easier way to do it! Did you know that InDesign can render a tabulation for you? Well, in this tutorial, we'll reveal you how to do it!
It might be appealing to produce your table of contents from scratch– for instance, you could set your text and add the numbers, all by hand. It works. You could do it that method, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. It can just be a tiresome procedure, specifically if you're working with a long file.
Nevertheless, there's a much easier method to do it– why manually handle your tabulation when Adobe InDesign can do the heavy lifting for you? In this manner, for instance, if pages need to be shifted, changed, or rearranged, you don't have to go through the headache of manually editing your table of contents. This can be especially helpful when building InDesign design templates!

great, thanks a ton! – I had this on my (never ending) list of “Things I need to Figure Out Soon”…👍😀
wow, this tutorial has really saved me a ton of work. Thank you
Brilliant tutorial! 🙂 Thanks a lot!
Just to clarify, does this automatically add the hyperlinks to the pages so that when someone clicks on the TOC entry (or page number) they are automatically directed to that page? Thank you.
Not “hyperlinks” exactly but yes they do if the interactive PDF is chosen. Note, as well, the level settings (1, 2, 3) are required for any epub export.
Brilliant. very helpful, Thank you.
straightforward, simplified and fast! thank you!
Great tutorial.
Simplistic, as stated. Works great for chapters. subheadings and such that have no numbering associated with them. It becomes 5x more difficult when you have, for example, Chapter 1, subchapters 1.x+, subchapter 1.x.x+. The spacing in those numbers is NEVER equal to what is in the actual headings and is NOT easily figured out on how to align them next to the titles. It also should work for figure AND table references numbered as 1.x, 2.x, etc with the first numeral being the chapter number. and the second being the figure in the chapter.
Is the generate table of contents available if I create an indesign file as a new document or must I create the file as a new book?
Thank you for the tutorial. It was explained very well.
Fantastic work. I have been trying to master this for a long time, but without any success, but this tutorial made it all clear. Thank you ever so much.
You’re very welcome!
Thanks for sharing! A perfect explanation
That’s helpful, thank you 🙏🏾
great tutorial! thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi. I was wondering how to get the style: Heading 1 ………page # the dots before the page #. So the dots leading from the heading to the page #. I’m not seeing that as an option. Thanks
Thank you! That was a great help!
Just creating my first training manual using InDesign 2021. It needed a ToC so went on YouTube as many do looking for a tutorial on this. I find it easier to view and listen to learn. Your video is very good as it has good pace and demonstration of work through. Thanks so much.
You are a great teacher ! Every time I was looking how to do something with InD with was an unknown for me, your tutorials came and I leared !
Thank you so much for helping me in my reconversion !
If I can do something for you, just say it 😉
Super useful! Thank you!
My first assignment for my online print and web course is taking a table of contents from a magazine and duplicating it through indesign so this was extremely helpful
