: InDesign CC - Making a table of contents that spans a single section I want a book where each new chapter has a page which displays a ToC containing the headers within that chapter. The problem

@Radia289

I copy-paste the same answer I gave here
– Of course H1, H2, H3 are your CH1, CH2, CH3.


Of course you can! You need to create a new paragraph style (let's say
H-Section). At the start of each section put a text box with the
H-Section.

Create a table of Style that lists your entries H1, H2, H3 e
H-Section. To the entry from H-Section set a Paragraph Style that
makes the text start from "In Next Frame" (Keep Options - Start
Paragraph).

When you create the TOC the Style set to H-Section will make the text
jump to another frame. All you have to do is creating a threaded text
frame in each section starting page.

I see two solutions:

1) Generate your full-book TOC and copy-paste your text in chunks as needed. (I think this is the faster way.)

2) Create a set of otherwise identical styles for each chapter. So you have your Chapter Headers style, and then duplicate it multiple times to create CH1, CH2, CH3, etc. A lot more moving parts depending on how many chapters you have, but then you can use each different set of styles to create individual TOC lists.
