Chapter 8. Long Documents > Table of Contents
Table of Contents
Don’t get fooled into thinking the Table of Contents feature (under the Layout menu) is only for making book tables of contents. You can build a table of contents, a list of figures, and a list of product names—all in the same document or book. Anything you can tag with a paragraph style, you can build into a “table of contents.”
This all depends entirely on your using styles. You should be using styles anyway—if you’re not, you’re working way too hard; refer to Chapter 4, “Type,” to see why you should.
Making a Table of Contents
Making a table of contents (or a list of figures, or whatever) is easy, but it requires a methodical approach to the Table of Contents dialog box (see Figure 8-6).
1. If you only have one list (table of contents, list of figures, etc.) in your document, you can leave the Style pop-up menu set to [Default]. We’ll cover table of contents styles later in this section.
