The automatic table of contents helps to quickly navigate through the document structure. To create a table of contents, the document sections should be labeled with headings using styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.).
Create a table of contents
1.Make sure that all headings in the document are styled accordingly.
2.Place the cursor where you want to insert the table of contents.
3.On the Insert tab, click the Table of contents button.
The table of contents will be automatically generated based on the headings. When you add new headings or modify existing headings, the table of contents is updated automatically.
Format the table of contents
Standard formatting is applied to the table of contents. You can change the font or paragraph options for the entire table of contents just as you would for regular text.
The formatting is applied to the entire table of contents at the same time. You cannot change the appearance of an individual item (for example, just one level 2 heading).
To apply new formatting to a table of contents:
1.Select the table of contents by double-clicking to the left or right of the table of contents.
2.Use the desired tools on the toolbar.
