: InDesign Table of Contents with section headers which occur multiple times I am currently working on a magazine using Adobe InDesign CS6. On each page I have a head with the name of the section
I am currently working on a magazine using Adobe InDesign CS6. On each page I have a head with the name of the section in it, and applied the paragraph style "Header" to the text element. Naturally some of my sections are more than one page long, and because of this, the same header will occur multiple times.
Example of a spread where the header occurs twice:
Resulting ToC:
My problem is, though, that the header will also occur multiple times in the TOC. Is there a way to skip headers which are similar to the previous one?
Not running headers, because I do not use the header on the page itself. Instead I have subheaders.

I think the correct way is to set up running headers based upon a text, and also set that text to a "TOC-Header" style and then key the TOC off of that style.
An alternative might be to create the TOC-Header style, allow override of the master page item, and then override the paragraph style of the first instance of the header with the TOC-Header style.
This will manually flag it as the TOC item. The drawback is that it will break and require manual intervention if you reorder pages within the section at any point after setting the TOC.
The running header solution allows the content to dictate.
