Pagination in table of contents aligned wrong

As you can see in the screenshot below the pagination is aligned right sometimes in the table of contents, and sometimes it looks all wrong. What do I do to fix this?

Hi joachim,

Pages 5.6.2 on OS X El Capitan 10.11.5

Menu > View > Show Rulers.

You can select (click) each level (Style) of the Table of Contents and see the settings on the ruler.

Thanks! That solved it 🙂


Might I also ask you about pagination in the rest of the document? I want to be able to display numbering in the footer from a certain page. Not sure yet whether to start the numbering from a later page than the first one, or to just start showing it from say page 3/number 3.

Hi joachim,

Thanks for the green tick and your feedback. Glad to help.

To start page numbering on Page 3, insert a Section Break at the end of Page 2.

Document Panel > Section > Page Numbering > Start at 3.

Delete the page numbers from the previous section..
