Crash when making Table of Contents with lots of text in Tables

[Aidymouse]

Hi there,

For layout purposes all the headings I want to include in my document are sitting in a table. I probably have about 350 of these headings and when I go to create a table of contents including the text, Indesign freezes for a bit then crashes.

This is more to notify someone about it than to get a fix, I don't think there are other ways of generating something like this automatically that won't crash?

Thanks

If you watn to report a crash it is best to do that here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs

If you have headings in your document it is best to use the the “Table of Content”s feature in InDesign. There you can create a table of contents depending on the paragraph formats you used throughout your document. You can then style the table of contents seperately with additional styles.
