How do we update the Table of Contents to reflect this change? Great – so now the text is sorted out and the heading is on page 9, where it should be. So let’s go to page 8, move the heading onto page 9 and amend the heading itself: I can see that I should have typed “How Much it Costs” for section 3, and it’s on page 8 along with Section 2, when it should be on page 9.
You can see lots of lovely headings and their numbers, all laid out nice and clearly (imagine if this was a PhD or another long document with lots of sub-headings.īut what happens if we need to change something in the text? Look – there’s a problem with the document here … Either double click on the one you want – I clicked on the first one – or click once to highlight it and then Insert Table of Contents. Here we have lots of different styles of contents page to choose between. You can see the Table of Contents button highlighted – click on that and have a look at the box that comes up: Now we’re going to put our cursor at the beginning of the document, and make sure we’re in the References tab. So the text is all set up, with headings that are also numbered, and each heading is on a separate page. Now, for the purposes of making a more interesting contents page, I’ve popped each heading onto a separate page (and we all know how to do that, don’t we!) You can do it manually, but it is FAR easier to do it this way.įirst, have a look at the two headings articles to make sure you understand how to assign headings and how to number them (if you want to). You will use this to save yourself time and ensure consistency when you’re setting up a large document and you want it to have a contents page. I am breaking this series up into small pieces, so we have already learned about setting up headings and then numbering them. Today we’re going to look at how to create a contents page or contents list in Word. This is part of my series on how to avoid time-consuming “short cuts” and use Word in the right way to maximise your time and improve the look of your documents.
