6. In the Page Number menu box, choose No Page Number, since page
numbers are not necessary in an ebook.
7. Click OK to save the Table of Contents Style. This is the first step for
creating both a navigational and an in-document table of contents.
Generating the in-document table of contents
1. Once you’ve created a Table of Contents Style, choose Layout >
Table of Contents to have InDesign generate the table of contents
by extracting the text from the paragraphs formatted in the styles
you have selected.
2. Use the ‘loaded’ pointer to place the table of contents at the desired
location in the document. You are not required to place the table of
contents at the beginning of the book, or indeed to include it all.
3. You will learn how to generate the navigational table of contents in
the Export Options section of this step-by-step guide.

If you export a multi-document book to EPUB without having
first created a Table of Contents Style, InDesign automatically
creates a table of contents based on the filenames of the
individual documents in the book. If you export a singledocument
book to EPUB, InDesign will not automatically
generate a table of contents.
You can create a navigational table of contents, an in-document
table of contents, or both. Most e-readers will display an error
message if no navigational table of contents is found. Some
ebook stores will complain if you don’t include an in-document
table of contents.
