How to make a table of contents in word

- In this video I show you how to make an automatic table of contents in word. You firstly need to change the 'normal' text style so the size and font of the table of contents will be the same as the rest of the text. Then you need to go to references and select table of contents. An automatic table of contents is then created using the heading styles and the contents can be reformatted. The table of contents can be updated if the number of pages or the sections change. This is a very useful feature for writing a thesis/ dissertation. Also if you press Ctrl and then click on one of the headings in the contents it will take you to that section in the document.
I wouldn't normally number the abstract, this is just an example.
A contents can only be made like this by using words official style headings. To see how to do this you can watch my previous video:

There are 10 minute long videos that show exactly what you just showed. Thanks for being so concise and to the point, liked and subbed.
For this very reason, I had to subscribe.
Thanks so much
Straight to the point
Can't agree more. I just helped my wife to submit her Master's thesis just in time, using this video.
I have watched many other 8-10 minute videos and always gave up but then I found this!
Thank you! 🎉❤
have tried this 4 times and gives me this option,No table of contents entries found.
@@jeffochieng8398 you need to make sure your headlines are in one of the heading styles. Have you done that? Just highlight the heading, and choose one of the options in the 'Styles' section in the homepage that have 'Heading' written underneath them. Also if you don't like the way any of them them look, I believe they can be modified to look the way you like.
I don't get how people can turn a simple tutorial like this into 7 to 10mins long when all it needs is just simple instructions like this. Well done and thank you for the tutorial!
Monetization
So they can monetize and show ads.
Thank you for making this so simple, explaining it clearly, and showing an example! I appreciate it!
Absolutely love your no-nonsense, get-to-work style
Thank you for this video. Straight to the point and effective.
I must have created over a hundred tables of contents, but have always struggled with the mixed formatting of the font style. Your suggestion to place the cursor in the paragraph text and select 'update normal to match selection' has removed a niggling pebble from my editing footwear. Many thanks!
careful Icarus....
Thanks, I have been trying to figure this out for days. You made it very clear and concise.👍
Thanks for the simplified content for easy interpretation. Kudos!

Thank YOU!! Now I can create my table of contents for my book. I plan to make the book into a PDF with hyperlinks from the table of contents for which I know how to do in my PDF software, but I'm wondering if there is a better way to do this within WORD instead.
Very useful tip. Thanks
Thank you!!! So much helpful!!!
Concise, smart, sharp and wonderful. Thank you so much. Thumbs up x100
how to include list of table and figure in Table of Content ? thanks
I did not get an automatic table of content
How do you format the TOC entries? Every time I update it resets any formatting back to the normal template.
I wish it was as easy as in your video! How do you preserve the numbering? When I change it to 'Heading', the numbering disappears. When I 'updated to match selection' it reformatted the whole file, which I don't want. I'm not having any luck with this at all ...
short and simple but helpful
Thank you for this video!!!
Thank you very much. Your style really attractive.
U deserve a sub thanks man
Didn't work
Tq Karina. all your videos helped me. really helping me

Hey i need fast help. How do you have numbers like that 1. for heading rthen 1.1, then 1.1.2 etc.. I don't get any numbers.
I show how to add the numbers in this video: th-cam.com/video/Yh7OgpwNgg0/w-d-xo.html
@@karinaadcock Thank you.
Quick and Accurate.
How do you get around the "Start by Appling a heading style from the Styles gallery to the selected text" ?!??!
Didn't work they it was supposed do,maybe I did something wromg
That was a big help. Thank you
doesnt work keeps saying no table of content entries found
Every time I try a tutorial video, the result is the same: No entries found
Update: I figured it out. I had to base my custom style on "Heading 1" and not on Normal and it finally worked
It's amazing with time saving
How do I get the Numbered Heading choices on top of my screen? Thanks.
if I do the first step is going to mess up all the fonts in my essay. How can I fix it?
thanks for easing the work
For the first time I found a video on this and understood it. I always play a number of them and end up more confused at the end of the video
Thank you so much !

Thank you so much
Can I change the number given to the tables?
It was table 1, table 2
I want it to be table 5.1, table 5.2 and so on
Thank you very much
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.
like and sub for getting straight to the point instead of wasting time like others, great video, thank you

I am using MacBook Pro. I selected the first option and it says I should start by applying a heading style and I should start from Style gallery to the selected text. I don’t understand
Have you been able to figure that out cos I don’t understand it either
Brilliant - thanks
It says: No table of contents entries found 😢
Amazing ❤
Very nice but the one has to use headings specified in word
This is good solution but i dont want page number on right i want it to say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6 etc and when i click it should go to that page even if "4" is linking to page that is on page 200 i do not want numbered pages so how do i do that after creating this TOC?
Thanks so much Karina
Hi, my mom is creating a 6x9 paperback book. Her current table of contents has misaligned page numbers. Do you think this could fix that, or will it generage a new table? I should probably add that her table is a few pages in.
To the point thanks
HEADING 2 IS NOT GETTING NUMBER BASED ON HEADING 1...e.g. Clause number 6 of heading 1 .. Below that heading 2 should be 6.1 .. But it is getting number as 3.1..
thankyou so much :)
Brilliant ❤
