Working with additional languages
You can assign languages to different text. Assigning the appropriate language to text is especially useful for spell-
checking and hyphenating. (See
Assign a language to text.)
If you need to work with Asian text, special versions of InDesign are available for Japanese, Simplified Chinese,
Traditional Chinese, and Korean. These versions let you create layout grids and frame grids for composing multibyte
characters, and they include a number of features for formatting multibyte text, along with additional fonts.
Similarly, a special version of InDesign is available for formatting Middle Eastern languages, such as Hebrew, Arabic,
Farsi, and Urdu, that use right-to-left text formatting. This version is called InDesign ME.
For more information on purchasing InDesign ME or an Asian-language version of InDesign, see the Adobe website.

About tables of contents
A table of contents (TOC) can list the contents of a book, magazine, or other publication; display a list of illustrations,
advertisers, or photo credits; or include other information to help readers find information in a document or book file.
One document may contain multiple tables of contents—for example, a list of chapters and a list of illustrations.
