Now that I am back at school after a long time, I also have to make all kinds of PowerPoint presentations and write reports in Word. There are a lot of functions in Word that most people never use, unless they are in school.
How to Create a Table of Contents in Word
One of those features is the table of contents. Word has a great feature that will automatically create a great table of contents if you know what type of headings to use. The great thing is that even if you already have a Word document with a lot of content, it’s very easy to edit it so that you can automatically generate the table of contents.
In this article, I’m going to walk you through the process of setting up your Word document with the correct headings, and then I’ll tell you how to create the table of contents. I’m also going to tell you how to customize the table of contents to your liking.
The first thing you want to do before you can create a table of contents is set up your headers. By default, the allowed headers you can use are H1 (Heading 1), H2 (Heading 2), and H3 (Heading 3).
