Add heading numbers to Pages 08's table of contents Apps
Pages has very limited features for generating Tables of Contents (ToCs). In particular, if you number your headings automatically, the numbers don't show up in the ToC. This hint shows you how to add the heading numbers to the ToC without resorting to manually editing every heading in your document.

After generating your ToC and getting text that looks like this...
First Heading ............. 1
Second Level .............. 1
Another Second Level ...... 3
Big First Heading ......... 5
Second Level Again ........ 5
...click on the lines in the ToC and add list styling to the ToC styles that match the heading styles:
1.  First Heading ................. 1
1.2.   Second Level ............... 1
1.3.   Another Second Level ....... 3
2.  Big First Heading ............. 5
2.1    Second Level Again ......... 5
Each time the headings are changed, the ToC will be updated and renumbered. The only catch is that the second and lower level styles will disappear from the ToC on each regenerate. To fix, click in the ToC text and then press Tab for the number of indent levels needed. Just remember to do that before you print the document.

Full (illustrated) details are available in this post on my site.
