Figure 324: Index/Table page of Insert Index/Table dialog box
The Insert Index/Table dialog box has five pages. Each of them covers
a different aspect of the TOC structure and appearance:
• Use the Index/Table page to set the attributes of the TOC, most
importantly the type of index.
• Use the Entries and Styles pages to format the entries in the TOC.
• Use the Columns page to put the TOC into more than one column.
• Use the Background page to add color or a graphic to the
background of the TOC.
You can display a preview box, located on the left-hand side of each
page, to show as you work how the TOC will look. (If you do not see the
preview box, select the Preview option in the lower right-hand corner
of the dialog box.) The illustrations in this chapter show the dialog box
as it appears with the preview box hidden.
After making all your changes, click OK to apply them. If you need to
revert to the default settings, click the Reset button.
