If you have ever typed text for a term paper or your own book in MS Word, then you know how inconvenient it is to constantly change the content if the amount of material is constantly arriving. Headings and pagination just slide out. A very unpleasant fact, especially if the work needs to be done in a short time. To focus your efforts on writing your work rather than keeping track of the content, you need to enable the auto-content feature in your text editor.

Microsoft Office Word 2007 software
Instructions
Step 1
Automatic content in MS Word 2007 allows you to configure it once, and then the items in this list will be automatically changed. Let's explore the operation of that function with a simple example. Open the editor and create a new document in it, by default, it is created when the program starts, if this did not happen, then press the key combination Ctrl + N. Type several lines on the keyboard on different pages, you can type text arbitrarily. Do not forget to separate the points of your work with small headings: section and subsection.
Step 2
Highlight the titles of your sections (# 1, # 2, etc.) and style them, for example, "Heading 1". You can set the style on the "Home" tab by selecting "Styles".
Step 3
Select the titles of your subsections (# 1.1, # 1.2, etc.) and style them “Heading 2”. The names of the styles listed here are taken as an example, you can use any styles that will be combined with each other.
Step 4
Now that you have styled all sections and subsections, you need to enable the "Automatic content" option. Depending on the translation of the Microsoft Office package, the name of this function may vary. Go to the Links tab, then click the Table of Contents button. Select any type of "Auto Table of Contents (Table of Contents)".
Step 5
As a result of the actions taken, you will receive a ready-made table of contents, which will automatically change as the document is filled with information. To force changing the content in automatic replacement mode, right-click on the content item and select "Update".
