    Thank you SO much for this video! Two years working on my MPA and I had NO idea what was involved in a "simple" Table of Contents. You really spelled out the steps in an easy to understand way!

  • @jennabenna42

    I watched at least 4 videos on CZcams about this and yours was the best to help me reformat the Headings, etc. to match my text (center, bold, font, line spacing, etc.), AND tell me each step along the way. Well done and THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

    Your tutorial on Table of Contents helped me so much! I watched several videos and became more and more confused and was about to throw in the towel. But got to your video and the anguish, frustration, and stress went away. I just went through your video with you step-by-step with my paper and now I am a Word Table of Contents expert. Thank you so very very much! Smart Student, this is an excellent video!!!.

    I have always had difficulty with the TOC. This is undoubtedly the best video on TOC generation. Especially helpful was showing the pitfalls and how to resolve them. Now I feel that even an average person like me can do this. Year 2022. THANK YOU! Thumbs up!

  • @here4serenity
    @here4serenity Před rokem +11

    My professor (She has her doctorate) states that the abstract comes before the table of contents. But I am so grateful for you fantastic demonstration.

    • @kristopherlauro4327
      @kristopherlauro4327 Před 10 měsíci

      I'm currently doing my dissertation, I was advised the same thing. Abstract before table of contents. However, APA rules change frequently it seems. Maybe when she made this video, this was not the rule.

    Thanks a lot for the video!
    To make your life a tad more easy:
    If you change the TOC ! to TOC 3 styles (instead of manually editing the text), updating the table will not change the format. To do so, Go to Home > Display the styles pane, and modify those three styles. You might have to select "Styles in use" after inserting the TOC to get those styles displayed.

    You did a great job on this video. I had no clue how to create a table of content and after watching your video it was not only easy, but I learned a new tool. It was fun to have you walk us through it. I really liked that you thought ahead to find the stumbling blocks and addressed them in advance.

  • @castellanos.alejandro
    @castellanos.alejandro Před 2 lety +16

    I would like to add that you actually can avoid formatting your table of contents each time you update it. Just create a personalized table of contents instead of choosing the classic one. Once you do and the pop-up window appears, click on the modify button in the right bottom corner. There, you will be able to format each heading level for the table of contents. Sorry for my poor english. I hope this was useful!

    • @amyconger
      @amyconger Před 9 měsíci

      Yes, agreed!
      Just as there are heading styles you can format, there are TOC style that you can format.
      If you're editing a long paper, it's totally worth it to edit the TOC1, TOC2, etc. styles the first time you build the TOC.
      (The video is incorrect in stating this functionality doesn't exist.)

    I agree with the previous comment. You do a pretty good job of covering the way things really go down with this program. I've done this before and the sterile explanation is crap. This was good. It didn't cover the other weirdities of this application but it covered the strange idea that you change the table of contents it changes the whole document. How rediculous. Thankyou for this video!!

    Thank you so much for this step by step explanation. I now know that I had only done the first step creating my tables, and now I now how to format them. This how to is not included in the APA 7 manual so nicely referenced by my professors. Now maybe I can get something for feedback then your tables are all wrong please review APA 7. Google search and this video pops up and in minutes I can now see that I don't have to redo my tables, just format them. Why my professors couldn't say take the table you have and change borders, not sure. You have saved me hours and mean that I get to sleep tonight. THANK YOU
