Creating a table of contents

You can create a table of contents in your document at the current cursor position.

  1. Apply predefined heading paragraph styles to the paragraphs that you want to include in your table of contents.
  2. Click your document and place your cursor where you want to create the table of contents.
  3. Click Create > References > Indexes and Tables and then select the Index/Table tab.
  4. Select Table of Contents in the Type box.
  5. Select the Outline check box.
  6. If there is at least one custom paragraph style that inherits from a headline style, the Additional Styles check box will be checked, and the custom paragraph style will be assigned to the corresponding TOC level. To edit a custom style as a table of contents entry, click the ... button. In the Assign Styles window, click the style in the list, and then click >> or << to define the TOC level for that paragraph style.
  7. Click OK.
  8. After you add content to your document, you can update the table of contents. Do one of the following:
    • Click the table of contents to select it, then right-click and click Update Index/Table.
    • Click Tools > Update > All Indexes and Tables.
      Note: In a document, a TOC can be inserted many times, and each TOC is created with the default settings. However, editing one TOC's settings does not impact another TOC's settings.
