    I have a magazine with 10 articles. The headlines on these articles are divided into two lines with two different paragraph styles. One big short and a smaller tagline under it.
    When I build my TOC based on these two styles it creates them on two lines with the same page number.
    I have tried a version where the top style is without a page number and it is a halfway solution but it would still be better if I could get the two headings on one line in the TOC. I have also tried a solution where I just use one of the headlines but that is also not good enough.
    Anyone know how I can do this?

    Just for comment:

    All the TOCs I play, simple, complex, very complex, … extremely complex, are all done in 1 click! … because they’re managed by script!

    In your case, you could do it in 2 clicks:

    1/ Generate your basic TOC [ParaStyle 1 (without page number) + ParaStyle 2 (with page number)]
    2/ Play this simple regex:
    Find: \r + ParaStyle 1
    Replace by, e.g.: a simple space!

    (^/) ;-)

    Ok. Thanks for your replies.
    I guess I have to spend some time learning GREP and scripting.

    Depending on the width of the text frame it sits in, keeping the large headline and the smaller tagline in the same paragraph but using a character style with No Break applied might work. Apply the No Break character style to the tagline, and as long as it’s too long to fit in the remaining space at the end of the first line, it will automatically move to the second line.

    Thanks.
    When I include both my heading styles in the TOC it looks like this.

    blah blah blah……………………10
    – blah blah blah blah
    blah blah blah……………………15
    – blah blah blah blah
    blah blah blah……………………20
    – blah blah blah blah
    etc.

    Maybe I did it wrong , but I couldn’t get that to work.
