The Table of Contents

Table of Contents help summarize a document and allow readers to find a specific chapter they are looking for. Due to this, Microsoft Word has a included feature for Table of Contents that can be found in the References tab.

This table of contents uses the special text known as Headings in order to dictate what is considered a chapter in the document.  These headings are usually the largest text on the page and usually include names for various chapters.

The Table of Contents is a nice addition to Word to improve readability on documents and books alike and help readers get to the information they are interested in or see what is coming up.

  1. Eden, once I figured out how to use this feature in Microsoft Word, it made building the Table of Contents sooo much easier to build and as you point out to read.

  3. Hi Hunter, I have not explored that feature yet. Thanks for the info, maybe someday I'll give it a try. Taking baby steps for now, I just finished navigating the header and footer.
