TOC with chapter description text

I’d like to create a TOC with chapter number, title and page number on one line followed by one line with a short description (5-6 words) of the chapter content. I don’t want this line to also have the page number on it. Is this possible. Thanks

A sort of “preamble”? For this to work, you need to create one new style, alter one predefined style, and make detail changes to the ToC settings:

  • Create a “Preamble” paragraph style.
  • Choose a suitable formatting for the preamble content for rendering in the text area, and set it to use outline level 10.
  • Alter the Content 10 style to a suitable rendering for the preamble content in the ToC
  • Edit ToC settings: In level 10 of the ToC Remove the # code from the content structure field.

You can of course use any unused outline level. I prefer to use #10 because that is the one least likely to be used for other purposes.

That’s great keme1. I like the level 10 tip. Thanks for your help.
