Is there a way to load a table of contents into an actual table? I laid everything out manually in a table, but have to add page numbers and would like to not have to do it manually.

Alternatively, is there a way to load only page numbers into table cells based on paragraph styles that the content appears on?

Use the built-in TOC tool


set 'Page number' to 'After Entry'
set a 'Tab' (^t) in the next field called 'Between Entry and Number'
this will generate the full TOC with page numbers extracted from your 'chapter name' paragraph style (or whatever it is called)


Then, tranform this text box which contains page numbering separated by tabs from the actual titles to a table via 'Table → Convert Text to Table'. What you'll probably get is a 2-column table which you can then format as needed.
