    Default Manually generate a table of contents(TOC)

    I am trying to understand how the bookmarks in a table of contents work so I can make manual entries to it. When I generate the TOC with Layout>TOC then place the TOC it works fine. But do to my bad planning (not knowing before I started the project)I have sections that need to be in the TOC that are not appearing. I thought that if I could make bookmarks manually I could link to the sections missed and they would appear when I generate the PDF. Make sense?

    So, can someone explain how to manually make bookmarks that link like the TOC to the section and so it will appear in the final PDF?

    Thanks

    You can not manually make the bookmarks in the TOC and expect them to work properly. However there is a workaround for what I think you are trying to do. I do not recommend doing it this way but you can highlight text and set it as a hyperlink.

    You should take a look at Gabriel Ayala "Table of Contents in InDesign 2.0" 4/28/04 8:12am </cgi-bin/webx?13@@.3bb3d45c/2>
