Hi Brandon,


Struck out there. I tried all that before coming here. There’s nothing in the Pages User Guide for iPad regarding Leading lines. So, I turned to the Pages User Guide for Mac to see how Leading lines are added, formatted, and deleted on a Mac. It’s done via Line Spacing in the Paragraph Styles. I will submit Feedback requesting Leading lines in Pages for iOS / iPadOS.


Thanks for trying to help!

Hello Johne154,


Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.


Check out the following information to see if this helps with creating a table of contents with the leading lines you're looking for. You may need to apply a paragraph style to see if that takes care of this, and you can locate the following steps with additional information here: Create a table of contents in Pages on iPad - Apple Support


You can choose which paragraph styles to include in the table of contents and change the indentation.

1. If you haven’t already done so, apply paragraph styles to the text you want to appear in the table of contents.

2. Tap the Table of Contents button at the top of the screen.

3. To modify the TOC, tap Edit in the top-right corner of the table of contents, then do any of the following:

Change which paragraph styles are enabled: Tap the circle next to paragraph styles you want to include.

Change the indentation of entries: Tap the indent or outdent button to the right of a selected style. If a button is dimmed, you can’t move the entry in that direction.

4. To close the Select Styles controls when you’re finished making changes, tap Done.

To close the table of contents, tap anywhere in the document. If you’re sharing a document with others, any changes you or others make to the table of contents don’t appear in the TOC until you close and reopen it.


In addition to that, we'd recommend checking out the following page to see if this may help to point to an answer quicker: Pages User Guide for iPad - Apple Support


Have a great day!
