In books, brochures, booklets, student papers, the titles of sections of the text are displayed in the content. Thanks to the table of contents, the reader will find it easier to navigate in the work. To make it easier for yourself to work on the design of the text, you can make content in Word, the page numbers of which will be updated automatically.
Instructions
Step 1
To make content in the Word, type the text and enter the title of each section. As you work, you can automatically update your table of contents.
Step 2
Select with the mouse the names of the sections that should be reflected in the content. In Word 2007, 2010 and later, select the "Paragraph" tab. In the dialog box that opens, find the line "level" and click on the value you need. If your text contains chapter headings, subheadings, and additional sub-paragraphs, then you need several levels in the table of contents. Follow the procedure for each heading.
Step 3
When there are a lot of headers, formatting each one is rather inconvenient. The Ctrl key on the keyboard will help to make your work easier. Holding it down, you can select the desired text in small parts with the mouse, and then call the "Paragraph" tab to make the appropriate changes.
Step 4
Place your cursor where you want to place the content. To create an automatic table of contents, select the "Table of Contents" section in the "Links" tab at the top of the Word editor. Choose the option that suits you and click on it.
Step 5
It's so easy to make content in Word automatically. In the same tab, you can change its parameters (placement of page numbers, adding hyperlinks to sections, the number of levels, styles, etc.).
Step 6
You can make beautiful content in the Word editor through the same tab manually. In this case, the title of chapters and sections will need to be entered independently.
Step 7
In finished content, you can automatically change page numbers. To do this, you need to right-click on it and select the item in the "Update field" window that opens. If you have changed the titles of the content sections, you can make changes to them in the content itself. Otherwise, it is enough just to update the numbering.
Step 8
The finished content can be formatted according to your requirements. To change paragraph indents, spacing, alignment on the page, you need to select the "Paragraph" tab in the main section of the editor. To change the size, color and style of the font, click on the "Font" tab. Thus, you can make absolutely any content in Word.
