Word2013LogoAdding a table of contents (TOC) to a document helps readers know where to find information within the document. You can add a table of contents by manually typing the headings and page references at the top of the document, however, as you add more content, page references can change. You will have to locate the new page reference for your headings and update the table of contents manually.

Using the Table of Contents tool on the Ribbon in Word 2013 enables you to automatically update headings and page references by simply refreshing the TOC field. The TOC headings/page references are hyperlinks – therefore, anyone viewing your document electronically can click a link to quickly go to that section of the document.

In this training session, you will learn how easy it is to apply styles to your document and, then, create a table of contents based on those styles. You will use the Table of Contents dialog box to tell Word how many outline levels to display, and will apply other formatting and layout options to create a professional looking object. As your document grows, new headings will be applied. A table of contents does not update automatically – you will learn how to refresh it to ensure all headings and page references are accurate. We will also talk about using heading styles that you have created (instead of using the default styles that come with Word), how to add an outline level to a style heading, and how you tell Word which headings to display in the table of contents.
