how to get page numbers above the heading title in TOC

[ashimg23377171]

I was wondering if i can replicate the following in InDesign by using the create toc option in ID.

I am having issues with trying to get the page number above the Heading Text. Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

Regards

Instead of working with a Table of Content of the Layout menu create one based on cross references.

Or,

1. use a paragraph which is only used on the chapter page, not the headline itself.
2. Make it a TOC Reference style.
3. Set up a character style with NONE as color.
4. Set up the TOC entry style with a midd-tabulator, nested style, in step 3 created style up to the end of the tabulator character.

Hi Ashim,

I see no problem doing this.
But it would require a hard return instead of a paragraph return after the number of the page.

And you'll need a character style for your page numbers.

Result:

TOC definitions ( sorry, all in German from my German InDesign CC 2017.1 😞

The page number comes before the paragraph with the headline.

And the character that is parting the page number from the text is \n .
A hard return ( end of line marker ).
