Finish by Adding a Table of Contents

The easiest way to create a table of contents is through heading styles, whether they’re built-in or ones that you create through custom formatting.

Style box

Don’t have heading styles in your document?   Click AutoFormat (Format menu) to have Word format your document and create headings. Or select headings in your document, and then click in the Style box the name of the heading style you want. Use different styles in your table of contents   To customize your table of contents, click Index and Tables (Insert menu). On the Table of Contents tab, click Options. Then for each style you include, specify a TOC level. Want to create a table of figures?   Label each figure by selecting it and clicking Caption (Insert menu). Word uses the caption to determine the page number for each figure. Position the insertion point where you want the table of figures to appear. Click Index and Tables (Insert menu). On the Table of Figures tab, select the options you want. Want to create a PowerPoint presentation from your report?   If you used a Word outline or built-in heading styles, all you have to do is click Send To (File menu), and then click Microsoft PowerPoint.
