IT Know How Tip #31: Creating a table of contents in Microsoft Word

04 Jul 2013

Did you know you can quickly and easily insert a table of contents into any Microsoft Word document?

By following the guide on Knowledge Base you can insert a table of contents into your work. All you need is a word document with various headings.

You can customise the tables of contents and select styles which fit in with your document. There is also an option to insert a blank table of contents if you prefer to write your own but would like a template to work with.

Staff can also sign up online for general (classroom based) IT courses which cover the basics and more advanced aspects of using Microsoft applications. See the PC skills site on StaffNet here.
