Designing the Adobe InDesign Way
By :

While you can manually style a Table of Contents or even apply paragraph styles to it in the traditional way, this can be quite labor-intensive as every time the Table of Contents is updated, all this styling will be removed.
In this recipe, we are going to look at how to use paragraph styles within the Table of Contents dialog box to automatically apply formatting to your Table of Contents in a way that is not impacted when you update it.
To complete this recipe, open InDesign on your system and create a new document with 12 pages, as shown in the Creating a new document recipe in Chapter 1. Having done this, create a Table of Contents as shown in the previous recipe, Generating a Table of Contents.
To style your Table of Contents, just follow these steps:
Change the font size
Change margin width
Change background colour
