5.4 Table of Contents

Table of contents can be manually created by inserting and formatting a table and using cross-referencing to automate page numbers.  Table of contents can also be automatically generated.

Inserting a Table of Contents

A table of contents is typically inserted into its own segment after the cover page (see Creating segments). 

The segment following the table of contents should be a section segment so that page numbering can be set to start at 1. When the document is exported the first page after the table of contents will be page 1.

To insert a table of contents, click the Insert – Table of Contents button.

The table of contents will appear as “No table of contents entries found.” in the document editor and will be automatically created on output generation.

Creating Table of Contents Entries

Each segment is able to create an entry in the table of contents.  To create an entry, simply type the text you wish to appear in the table of contents in the “Table of contents entry:” field in the segment properties dialog form:

Leave the field blank to omit any entry in the table of contents.

Each table of contents entry can be set to an indentation level in the segment properties dialog form. All entries will have a default indentation at level 1.

In the above example, the Strategic Report and Directors' Report entries have been set with an indentation at level 2, and the Auditors' Report entry has been set at level 3.
