Is there away to only have the chapter number appear in TOC without the word “chapter”?

Formatting Table of Contents I have inserted a ToC for a book I've written in Pages 8.2.1. Problem is, the chapter title is a line below the chapter number. Is there a way of getting the chapter number and its title on the same line in the Table of Contents without putting them on the same line in the manuscript itself? I did read a post from a year ago where there was a workaround for this, but it seems pretty clumsy to me even though it would certainly work. (Putting, Chapter 1 In the Beginning, and making the text color for "Chapter 1" white and adjusting the margins for the line to mimic a "centered" chapter title. For Apple, that seems so clumsy to have to go through all that for all of my 16 chapters in order just to get what is a standard format for a ToC. Can anybody help?

How to "join" a chapter title with returns in the table of content in Pages? I am trying to put the chapter number ABOVE the chapter TITLE, and this means a double paragraph return. It looks great on the page, but I get TWO entries on the Table of Contents. Is there a way to "join" the numeral and the chapter title in the table of contents? Here is an example (below) of the first chapter, how it looks in the document: _______________________________ Here is how it looks (below) in the table of contents. It shows up as TWO entries. Is there a way to edit JUST the table of contents, and NOT the actual layout on the appropriate page within the document? I want the chapter title to read as "1 THE FIRST MONTH" all in one line. Thanks, Mike

Wow! They need to put this in their help topics. No one on Youtube or anywhere else covers this. Thanks for the information as this has been driving me nuts!

Yes! About a year ago I searched for it for 2-3 days and here it is – a trivial solution.

You can rename the word 'Chapter' in any invisible symbol. Just right click this word… ;-)
