Great info - I learned a couple additional things helpful to making TOC. I ALSO loved the import into PPT. How many times have I cut and pasted from Word to PPT??? DON'T ASK. Thx as always, Taylor, for the incredibly valuably info and the keyboard shortcuts!!
Glad that you found that helpful Sue. Yes, if you are starting in Word, it's much faster to mark up your document and import your slides to jump-start the process.
Thanks so much for this Taylor, so useful and easy to understand. You saved me at least an hour on trying to figure out how to set up a table of contents. Great video!
Taylor, Thank you very much. I am working on an employee information manual and your video was perfect for what I was looking for. I did have to go to another source though, to find Heading 2 and 3 which were inactive until selected under TOC.
Excellent! Presented so efficiently & had more info than other videos I've watched. Filled in the missing gaps!
As usual Taylor, great tips! I did not know the shortcuts and the fact that you can apply the formatting from the document into the style box.
Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! I didn't want to add TOO many shortcuts to the video, but if you get deep into applying styles, you can hit Alt + Ctrl + Shift + S to open up a floating styles dialog box that you can use to quickly apply the different heading styles with. Kind of cool.
Thanks, Taylor. Waiting for a full course on Word best tips :)
Thanks for that!
Wow. This is exactly what I needed. Bravo!!!
Welcome back. I always enjoy your content.
I appreciate that! Thanks for the comment, more coming soon :)
Great, great video. LIke the way to step through it quickly but also clearly, good examples, etc.
Glad it was helpful!
Really helpful! Thanks. I've always fought with Word's TOC function--it's not the most intuitive--and Word has usually won. No more, though!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! This will help me with a job I need to do

Thanks Taylor.

thankyouuuu. your content helped me a lot !
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Really helpful, a must learn skill for college students.
It makes navigating Word documents MUCH easier :)
Thank you for your helpful information. I'm new to Word and pulling my hair out. Can you advise on the following: (1) How do I remove the extra space above "Table of Contents" heading? When I highlight TOC typed in 12pt font, the blue box appears as if the text should be about 20pt. The extra large text box is pushing my last line onto a second page. (2) I'm trying to create a footer with my name and title of doc to left, and page in the following format "1 of . . . " right justified. I've searched and searched and cannot find answers. You are so thorough, I'm hopeful you can help. Thank you!
Bruh!!! I am soo late to this cool trick.
At least you know it now :). Thanks for checking out my video.

this is helpful even though I only watched first one minutes🤩
Glad to hear it was helpful.
No matter what, TOC shows up on the right side of page(right outer margin). Why? Strangely, that somehow messes up the rest of the pages when I shorten the screen size of the page so four pages can be shown at once. The next page (5) under, is gain shown on the right side(meaning right outside margin)!! Sometimes two left pages can show up. Huge confusing problem. Can you help?Thanks!
Ps. I use mirror margins for book.
Margins 0.65 for top, bottom, left, right and 0.63 for gutter.
This is great video and clear explanation, but I still have issue related to editing TOC, if th doc that I received and have TOC, after updating the word doc, the TOC doesn't work, I don't know how to fix it. shall I rebuild the TOC again, which taking time, is there a way to check and edit in more proper way?
What is the equivalent of Ctrl + Home in a Mac?
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!

Can we export created TOC to other file say a separate word file or excel sheet?
Very nice video. Can you share how to insert table of Figures in word?
Awesome - amazing information, when i am not able to import the document (using outline ) into PowerPoint, it gives me blank slides. anyway to solve this ?
The first thing to double check is that your Word document is properly set up with the Header 1 and Header 2 styles. If you don't have those set up, the conversion process doesn't work as that is what PowerPoint needs to properly map your content to the Title and Content Placeholders.
I need one more advise. I have multiple document (representing 6 chapters). I want to combine them without effecting my layout. How can I do that?
I created a table of contents for my book and now I have problems with my page numbers. Now the pages sometimes start all over again for some unknown reason to me. They can go from 1 to 15 then go back to 1 and go to 100 and back to 7. Is there a way to fix his/ Is it best to finish the book then add the table of contents?
I want to make a table of contents collapsible since the size of my table is too huge. Can you explain me how to do that?
Once a PDF is made with a TOC, can I simply update the PDF to add a new section? Is there a video on this?
Great question. Once your Word document is in the PDF format, you will need Adobe or some other program to update the PDF directly. In that case, I would recommend just creating the document in that program (to save you some steps). If you still want to use Word, you will simply need to update your Word document, right-click the TOC and click update, then save your Word document as a PDF again. You can see how to do that here: th-cam.com/video/ykeKrdf2REw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lseZiBMMAWqdYv3i

Not sure why everyone is entering that date :)
You don't show how to format the word "Contents". The "title" of contents to 1. add it to the contents list and 2. to make the heading the same format as all the other headings, whether Heading 1 or Heading 2.
Really helpful videos thanks Sharon Smith and Nuts also.
this is way too complicated
no im not joking
Sorry the process is not easier... there are lots of options to work with.
You keep pointing out the mistakes but you didnt clearly start with a proper way of doing it. people who are in a rush and dont have time to listen to your judgement dont wanna listen to you beating around the bush. anyway whatever
Sorry you didn't get your answer. Unfortunately, there are a number of ways to do it depending on your situation. There is no "best" way.
Very helpfull...
Glad it was helpful!
