      Every edition, I scroll through the newspaper(s) and grab the names of anyone who wrote an article, then I put these into the masthead.

      It’s a simple repetitive task that is also error prone. I have all the authors in a paragraph style called “Article – byline”.

      Is there a way to grab all my authors? I am new to InDesign, but I’ve got a solid background in IT/DevOps which makes me want to do everything the _right_ and automated way.

      Yup, that is what the Layout > Table of Contents feature is for!

      David,

      So simple. I need to spend more time on Lynda videos. Probably 80% of everything I know if is from watching you, Anne Marie, Nigel French and Russell Viers.

      Worked like a charm

      So glad we can help! Remember, too, that you can click More Options in there.
      That way you can:
      * Turn on Sort Entries in Alpha order
      * Turn on “Run-in” so that you get just one paragraph instead of a list
      * Set Page Number to “No Page Number” so that it leaves that out
