The presence of content in any document will greatly facilitate the work with the text. Especially if the file is very large. Try to create such a text yourself with the function of automatically collected table of contents using Microsoft Word.
Necessary
- - text for the document;
- - Microsoft Word program.
Instructions
Step 1
To start formatting a document with a table of contents, create a new file and type in it the text that suggests further editing. Or open a ready-made one. Designate sections, include headings and subheadings in it. Select the titles one by one and in the formatting bar, next to the "A" icon (or in the right sidebar), mark the appropriate "Styles" for these fragments. In this case, you need to select "Heading 1". You can go to the "Styles and Formatting" menu from the "Format" item on the top working panel. Then select the text in the first subheading and set it to Heading 2. Follow the same steps for the following sections.
Step 2
After all the text has been conditionally divided into headings and subheadings, in the top panel in the "Insert" menu, select "Link" and go to the "Table of Contents and Indexes" section. Then find the "Formats" option in the window that opens and mark the design option most suitable for your document. Click OK. Thus, you will choose one of the methods of automatic table of contents. In the same window, you can also mark the main page parameters, their numbering and the location of the numbers corresponding to each page. By following these steps, you will create a ready-made table of contents that you can update if necessary.
Step 3
If, when adding text additions, some sections "went" to other pages, do not worry. Putting everything back in place is pretty easy. To do this, just right-click on your table of contents and click "Update" in the drop-down window. The table of contents will also change if you hover the text cursor over it so that the text is highlighted in the table of contents, and then press F9.
Step 4
For the same purposes, there is a special panel with the "Update Table of Contents" button, which opens when you successively select the "Link", "Table of Contents and Index" sections in the "Insert" menu and the "Structure Panel" option in the formatting window that opens.
