OH MY GOSH! I am sending you a virtual hug! I am new to Word. I created a 42-page Google Doc and converting it into Word caused a plethora of formatting problems. Watching CZcams videos and fumbling around until after 2 am last night, nauseated and with a headache, I finally resigned to tackle my TOC problem the next morning. In 10 minutes you helped me navigate my way through fixing what had me stumped for hours last night. Thank you. I subscribed to your channel. I look forward to continuing to learning from you!

[@inepetersen802]

I have been looking for days for instructions like this; i.e., indenting TOC. The key is knowing/semantics of how to look for what you need.

[@daniel30lt]

The best tutorial online about creating a table of contents. I watch about 6-7 of them before watching this one. Only this one really made sense and was 100% helpful. Thanks a million!!!

[@thepersonalfreedomcenterfr6730]

This ended all my frustration and is the best tutorial on the subject I've found after watching about 6 others. Thanks a bunch!

[@nadiabsliteraryodyssey786-]

Seriously, you have no idea how relaxed I'm now after watching your video.. Thanks a lot for helping me out. ❤

[@stephaniemcgowan-paskins4065]

Thank you. You have made this clearer, because other videos leave out certain steps. I am working with 2016; consequently I can do it a little differently. Thanks and have a great day.

[@ErikROKonly]

"Select heading 3....Click! Heading 3, and that is how you set up heading 3"
Love the enthusiasm, cracked me up

[@kate3264]

I was searching a whole day for what this one video explains plus more! best explanation on this topic in MW

[@jdefriend]

Your video came to my rescue. I'm creating a transcript and course descriptions for my son, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to do the table of contents. Thanks!

[@NatalieMcIntyre14]

OMG - this is the best demonstration I have ever seen for this. Thank you for making it clear and interesting to watch. Exactly the material I needed. Just wish I hadn't had to watch 3 others before finding this one!

[@angelagriego8168]

Thank you so much for this video! I am working on my doctorate and this is the ONE thing that is really stressing me out (until I was able to see your video tutorial). I was able to get my TOC done perfectly. Thank you again.

Cool!!! Ignore my last comment. I fixed it myself. I just opened it in Protected View, enabled Editing and it worked!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEO :)

[@JoshuaWillemse]

Sr. You have done a very good job explaining how to do this. I had a TOC for my thises but I couldn’t remember how to edit it, so I had to start over and no one explained it in detail like you did I just 1 video. Just one thing.... when selecting the first line in heading to change format only took the one I highlighted not all 1st lvl headings nor the rest, I had to do them all manually. But you got me through the excruciating trouble of doing this... AGAIN THANK YOU SR ;-)

[@jbdjessa2]

Extremely helpful, wow. Saved me!

[@kerrystewart3690]

This was such a good video!!!! I wish I'd seen it sooner. I have to edit documents after others have screwed up the toc and when you don't really understand how they work it's difficult. This video really helped me understand how they are set up and think it may be easier to set up new toc's than figure out where they went wrong! Thank you!

[@kerrystewart3690]

I've tested my theory of deleting the TOC and starting anew one but...How do I get the Navigation Pain to clear all the headings after deleting the toc?

[@yesarg]

You are so brave, thank you so much.
