Table of Contents: How to find a template in Word
If you want to create a table of contents in Word, it will be based on the headings you have written in your document.
- Use your mouse or your finger on the touchpad to move the cursor to the location where you want to see and format the table of contents later.
- Go to “References” in the top menu bar and select “Table of Contents”. This means you use an automatic format template for your entire document.
- If you make changes to the document at a later date, these will affect the table of contents.
- In this case, you need to update the table of contents. To do this, go to “References” and then “Update table of contents”.
- Alternatively, right-click it and select Update Field.
- Notice: There are often missing entries. This happens when headings are not formatted as such. Select the heading text for the desired heading that is missing from the table of contents. In the menu bar, click Home, then click Styles, then click Heading 1. Then update your table of contents again.
