Creating
a Table of Contents in Word 2000
Word has a feature that will
generate a table of contents for your document. However, you must format your
chapter or section headings with certain "heading styles" that Word
uses to determine the text for the table of contents entry, as well as the page
number where that section or chapter begins. To mark a chapter or section
heading so it will appear in your table of contents:
- Select the chapter or section
heading.
- Choose Heading 1 from the Styles
list on the Formatting toolbar. For subheadings, choose Heading 2, Heading
3, etc.
When you have finished typing your
document, you can generate your table of contents:
- Place the cursor where you want
to insert the table of contents.
- Select Insert from the Format
menu, then choose Index and Tables.
- Select Table of Contents tab,
then and select the style you want.
- Choose OK to insert the table of
contents into your document.
If you edit your document after
creating the table of contents, you will have to update it:
- Click to the left of the table
of contents you want to update.
- Press [F9].
Note: When you update the table of
contents, any text or formatting you added to the finished index or table is
lost.
