Create a Table of Contents

The user creates a table of contents by choosing the heading styles - for example, Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3 - that one wants to include in the table of contents. Microsoft Office Word searches for headings that match the style that one chooses, formats and indents the entry text according to the heading style, and then inserts the table of contents into the document. Microsoft Office Word 2007 provides a gallery of automatic table of contents styles. Mark the table of contents entries, and then click the table of contents style that the user wants from the gallery of options. Office Word 2007 automatically creates the table of contents from the headings that the user marked.
