      Hello! Is there any way I can tell InDesign that I would rather have for instance ” // ” as the separator between TOC entries instead of end of paragraph? I would rather not have to go through find/replace every time the TOC is updated to fix this.

      I would like my TOC to be generated like this:

      TOCentry#I – pagenumber // TOCentry#II – pagenumber // TOCentry#III – pagenumber //

      Thanks! :)

      Ticking the box in the TOC dialog for “Run-in” (under Options, if you have More Options selected) replaces the new paragraph with a semicolon between each TOC entry (only just found that out by playing round with it). Does that help? There doesn’t appear to be a choice of character other than the auto-generated semicolon.

      Thank you so much for your reply, Chris. As long as I can’t define what I would like the character between TOC entries to be, I still need the find/replace workaround to get the TOC the way I want. Too bad!

      Yes, frustrating that there’s so much control over other aspects of the TOC. There’s always a saved Find/Replace to speed up the process.
