The latest versions of Apple’s Pages all offer easy table-of-contents creation. Here’s how to make them and why you might want to, even if you’re not publishing a book.
I am looking at using Pages instead of Word for creating reports. Although the updated TOC is useful I see that there is no mention of generating an index in Pages Help (Apple) or Take Control . Online there are various tedious and cumbersome tips for creating an index for a large document - none seem practical.
The lack of an index generator remains a serious limitation of Pages. I could generate in index with my ancient Amipro word processor (in runtime Windows!) in 1990 (I can still run Amipro in Windows XP running on my Mac under Parallels)
I will send feedback to Apple but won’t hold my breath.
