Add table of contents

You can add a table of contents based on the section headings in the document.

For the table of contents to be generated correctly, section headings must be formatted using styles (for example, Heading 1, Heading 2).

When new headings are added or existing ones are changed, the table of contents updates automatically.

Create a table of contents​

  1. Set the cursor at the desired location.
  2. On the Insert tab, click the Table of contents button.

Format the table of contents​

  2. Use the required formatting tools on the Home tab, in the Font or Paragraph settings groups.

Formatting is applied to the entire table of contents.

  1. Hover the cursor over the desired section heading in the table of contents.
  2. Hold down the Ctrl (Cmd) key and click the heading.
