- Hi, this is Don McAllister
and welcome to another weekly tip video.
Pages, Numbers and Keynote have all seen minor updates
in the past few weeks,
but in this tip video, I'm going to take a look
primarily at the new Table of Contents feature
in Pages for both the Mac and iOS.
So this is the latest version of Pages which includes
the Table of Contents, it's Pages Version 8 on the Mac.
Let me just close down this About box.
And what I thought I would do is just create a simple
document with several different pages
or with different headings.
So let's go ahead and start off so with an introduction page
and then I'll go ahead and insert Page Break,
so we have a new page down here,
let's go ahead and in the header
insert a page number as well,
so we can see what page numbers they are.
So this is page 2 of 2
and here I'm going to write Section 1
and then I'll go ahead, insert another page.
Label this Section 2.
And let's just go with one more, so just one more page
and this will be Section 3.
Now to create a Table of Contents, what I need to do
is to apply styling, any styling except the body styling,
to all my sort of headings on each page.
So if I go back up to the top page of this introduction,
I select introduction, go across to the Format Box,
if it doesn't appear, just click on the little paint brush,
go down to here and select this as heading.
So there's my heading for the first page.
Again Section 1, I'll select the same paragraph style.
Section 2, exactly the same,
and my final page
again, heading.
Now there's a new view of your document, which is the
Table of Contents view, which will allow you to navigate
around your document and you can also
insert your Table of Contents within the document itself.
But let's have a look at the view first.
So if I go up to view,
click on here and select Table of Contents.
Right, so there are my Introduction, my Section 1
my Section 2 and Section 3,
If I go to Section 2.
You'll see it takes me directly to that page.
Which is actually page 3 of 4.
I go to my introduction, it takes me to my introduction.
If I want to edit my Table of Contents say to either
include or exclude different paragraph styles,
I can go across to Edit.
So currently, anything with a heading,
anything with heading 2, anything with heading 3,
or heading red, will be included in my Table of Contents.
I can add additional 1s in by clicking these check boxes
or I can remove them as well.
So let me go ahead and create a heading 2,
before I do that though,
let's say I want my heading to be indented.
So if I click on this little button here, this will
indent any heading 2 sections that I have.
If I tap away from here.
Let's go down to the bottom and rather than inserting
another page, let's go here and insert a sub section 3.
