Creating a table of contents
Atableofcontentscanonlybecreatedinascript.
Ifyouarelookingtocreateashort,simpletableofcontentsinone section,youcouldaddaStandard
ScriptthatusesthepageRef()function.Foranexample,see"pageref()"onpage1260.
Foramulti-page,cross-sectiontableofcontentsyoumustuseaPostPaginationScript;see"Creat-
ingaTableOfContents"onpage852.
Thebasicsofscript-writingintheDesignerareexplainedinthefollowingtopic:"Writingyourown
scripts"onpage808.
Configuring page numbers
BydefaultthepagenumbersareArabicnumerals(1,2,3,etc.)withoutleadingzerosnorprefix,and
pagenumberingstartswithpage1foreachsection.Butthiscanbechanged.Todothat:
