In this Three Minutes Max video, Sandee Cohen shows how to add a chapter number to an InDesign table of contents entry. Her fun and useful tip uses custom numbering to insert a chapter indicator when the chapters are unnumbered in the main text.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
