  • Learn how to add a table of contents into your document in Microsoft Word.
    First, I show you how to add headings to your document. Text that uses a heading is automatically included as part of a table of contents. Once headings are created, we click into the References tab and insert a table of contents. I also show you how to update the page numbers and update the table of contents if you make any changes to it.
    As full-disclosure, I work at Microsoft as a full-time employee.

    When it is this good, I call you Mr. Stratvert: Your approach is "short and sweet". Other tutorials are either too brief or too complicated. You have a soothing voice. You do not speak like you know it all and we are all stupid lol. And most importantly, you look honest and you present material without trying to gain viewership to make money. The world needs more good and honest people like you. THANX.

    Excellent video. I haven't used Table of Contents since my 150 page MA Thesis 20 years ago. This refresher was all I needed. I now remember that I wrote most of it in outline mode to make it easier to jump between sections as I added things. I dread this next document I have to write. But at least I have turned the main outline into a table of contents.

    Kevin, you're a life-saver. This was by far the most easily understood video that I've seen regarding inserting a table of contents.

    I have been using word for years and even paid someone to do my TOC. Now I am working such a huge project that I had no choice but to put in a table of contents to be productive. Your video is so clear and easy to follow. Now I am a fan and will come back to learn more.

    Kevin, you fricken saved the day with this tutorial. I was going crazy trying to figure out how to build a Table of Contents. Then in a just a few minutes, I couldn't believe how easy it was to create. You do have to have all your content built before you add you headers for the ToC. Thanks

    Hey Kevin, you just saved my life!!! MANY hands her in a shared Word doc. Someone accidentally deleted the TOC and I had to get it back in there. So simple but, if you've never done it before, it can be daunting! A million thanks.

    Kevin, I am thankful that you have posted this tutorial. You know how to make learning simple and fun. I did not know this TOC could be so easy. My wish is if you would do a video on indexing in Microsoft Word. After watching your video I feel like I'd be wasting my time watching others doing tutorials on MS products. You are the best.

  • @scottfrench3207
    @scottfrench3207 Před 3 lety +1

    Thanks! Saved me today. I’d forgotten the art of headings. However, how come the software can’t create a table of contents via numbering? It would be so much easier. 1 = heading 1. 1.1 = heading 2. And then 2 = heading 1. Etc

Your explanation was great and if I had watched your video prior to creating my TOC in Word, I would have used Word. Since I have already created my TOC manually, how do I insert ...... 3(page 3) in my TOC. BTW, I use a Mac. Thank you so much.
