Creating a table of contents

The document outline shows the hierarchical structure of the document only in its window. However, if you use the “Make Table of Contents” function, you can actually insert the table of contents in the document. It automatically generate the bookmarks and hyperlinks to them.

  1. On the Custom toolbar, click Document Outline, or press Alt+3. (If Document Outline is not visible, add it to the toolbar by opening the Customize dialog box, going to the Commands tab, selecting View on the Categories list and then selecting Document Outline on the Commands list.)
  2. In the document outline window, right-click to open the shortcut menu.
  3. Select Make Table of Contents in the shortcut menu.
  4. In Make Table of Contents dialog box, select Create hyperlinks to content and Insert bookmarks when making hyperlinks.
