Maybe do it as an index instead of a Table of Contents.
Or try dtptools.com cross-references pro plug-in, which might be able to do it?
Or you could do it by using text anchor cross-references instead (though it might be tricky). See https://creativepro.com/creating-cross-references-text-anchors.php

That is what the Cross-References panel is for: https://creativepro.com/tag/cross-references

However, if you need even more control/power, you might want to look at X-Refs Pro from DTPTools.com

I think it would really only be if the designer doesn’t know what color the final should be. For example, someone might set the color to “Spring 2016” for the spring catalog, knowing that the real pantone color will be worked out later.

Then ink aliasing can also be helpful: https://creativepro.com/alias-one-color-swatch-to-another.php

The printer looks at the name (usually something like “Pantone 286C”), looks up the ingredients for how to mix that ink in their Pantone book, mixes it, and puts it in the press.

If you use a color name like “mega_yellow” then the printer has no idea what the color should be and may just pick a random yellow color. However, if you send the job to the printer and say “mega_yellow is supposed to be Pantone 185” then they can do that for you.

Not a stupid question.
You can make a spot color out of any color mix: RGB, CMYK, or Lab. It does not matter. The only thing that matters for spot colors is the name. Because it is the name that the printer will use to pick colors.

I talk about that a little bit in my title on color at lynda.com.

You cannot apply No Break to all the text. You should only apply it to one word or small phrase at a time.

r?! That is weird. Are you sure it has the right paragraph style, and there’s no local overrides? I can’t figure out how or why it would say “r”. Too odd.

Do them manually, then vote: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/114445-adobe-indesign-wishlist/suggestions/1936557-different-column-amount-in-main-text-and-footnotes

There’s no way to do that with InDesign. Perhaps you can do it using Acrobat’s tools, after the PDF is exported from InDesign? Not sure.
