If you have a title or subtitle that is part of an existing paragraph, or if you would like the Table of Contents text to be different than what appears in the body of your text, you can insert a manual Table of Contents field instead of applying a Heading style to an entire paragraph. First, select the part of the paragraph you would like to use as the title of the chapter or subchapter or place your cursor where the new chapter or subchapter begins.
In the 'Entry' field, enter the text for this section as you would like it to be displayed in your Table of Contents. Next to 'Level', select '1' for main chapter titles, '2' for subchapters, '3' for sub-subchapters, etc.
Unless you have multiple Table of Contents in your document, leave the 'Table identifier' as is. After you click 'Mark', Word will automatically turn on showing of formatting symbols, and you should see a TC Table of Contents field code in brackets.
This will not print as part of your document; Word only uses it to identify it as a Table of Contents marker. You can change the text to be displayed in the Table of Contents by editing the text within the quotation marks inside the brackets.
You can also change the level of the heading by changing the number. Step 2: Once you have all the chapter headings and sub-headings flagged with the correct Heading styles or Table of Contents field markers, you can generate your Table of Contents.
Place your cursor at the top of the page where you would like to generate the Table of Contents and make sure the line where the cursor is placed is left-justified or full-justified if it is center-justified, you will not be able to right-align page numbers properly. Next, go to the 'References' tab on the menu, and select 'Table of Contents'. Below it you will see many different pre-defined Table of Contents styles.
If you see one that matches what you need, select it. In most cases, you will probably need to create a customized Table of Contents by selecting 'Custom Table of Contents'. The Table of Contents settings window will open.
If you are creating a Table of Contents for a thesis or dissertation, there are several settings you will need to change. First, make sure 'Show page numbers' and 'Right align page numbers' are checked, and that the Tab leader is set to dots ' If you have more than 3 levels of subtitles in your document, you may also need to change 'Show levels' to a higher number like 4. If you used Table of Contents field codes in your document in addition to or instead of header styles, you will need to click 'Options If you used styles other than 'Heading 1', 'Heading 2', and 'Heading 3' to define your Table of Contents, you can also define those here.
When finished, click 'OK' to return to the Table of Contents window. Next, click 'Modify The Style window will open; this is where you can define the font and indents for each title level in the Table. Change the font here to match the font in the rest of your document. If your Table of Contents needs to be double-spaced, be sure to also click the double-spacing button.
The Sample Text window below these settings will give you a preview of what the text in this level will look like.
Click 'OK' to save the settings when done. Repeat the style modification above for the other levels of your document.
For the sublevels, you may also need to increase the ident for each level in addition to changing the font and line spacing. When you are finished updating the levels, you should be ready to add your Table of Contents. Return to the main Table of Contents screen and click 'OK'.
Word will insert the Table of Contents at the point of your cursor. Check it carefully to make sure Word didn't miss any chapter titles or subtitles and that the page numbering looks correct; if there are problems, double-check that you tagged text with the correct header styles or Table of Contents codes see Step 1 above.
You can also make manual edits and formatting changes directly in the Table but be warned that if you have Word update the Table, these manual edits will be overwritten.
If you just need to update the page numbers, select 'Update page numbers only'. If you have added new chapter headings or sub-chapter headings to your document, select 'Update entire table'.
Note that if you select 'Update entire table', any additional formatting or typing you changed manually after creating the automatic Table of Contents will be overwritten.
