TOC not showing well

Hello,

When I insert TOC, it is all misaligned and numbers show in different lines instead of on the right. Playing with the arrows on top and watching YT I got it semi-right. But I don't know what I'm doing. How would I fix it?

Thanks!

TOC showing all goofy Hello, I've formatted a new book (235 pages) and everything is ok, but when I insert TOC, the table is all goofy and the numbers show under the titles instead of to the right. I know it has to do something with some orange arrows on top because when I move them, things change. But I can't figure out what I'm doing or how to make it correct. The pages are 6x9 because it is a book. Thanks, Jorge

TOC - Style defined, not adding Pages - TOC style is defined, when I click View Table of Contents I see everything, but when I try to insert the actual TOC it errors out with: which is not so, because in the document I see this: What the heck am I missing here? fozzy

Pages 2019 not generating table of contents Trying to generate a table of contents in Pages (the latest version updated this year) using Apple's instructions (see below) but keep getting the error message: "The table of contents is empty because you are not using the paragraph styles set to appear in it." But I did go through each chapter heading and applied a Heading format. Is there an extra step, such as where it says in the instructions below "...then enable the Heading style for the TOC"? Enable it how? I have also tried to copy the whole document, start a new file and rename it, but still doesn't work, so I guess I'm missing a step. The TOC is based on paragraph styles used in your document. For example, if you apply the Heading paragraph style to your chapter titles, then enable the Heading style for the TOC, those chapter titles appear in the TOC. As you edit your content, the TOC updates automatically.

I posted this as the prior question froze, but it seems it went through. Please, ignore this question as I have the prior thread open.

Thanks!

I resolved it by playing with the arrows. Thank you!
