Position the cursor where you want to insert the TOC and click References > Table of Contents > Table of Contents > Insert Table of Contents > Options. If the paragraph was already styled, the style is retained and the TOC entry adopts the style of the level you selected.īy default, Word includes all headings in your table of contents (though you can specify what levels appear), but you can also indicate that other custom styles should appear in the TOC.

If the text you've chosen to insert was styled using the normal style, the whole paragraph will be formatted using the heading paragraph style for the level you selected. When adding entries in this way, formatting changes may occur. You can just as easily remove the new entry by selecting it again, clicking Add Text > Do Not Show in Table of Contents, and again updating the TOC. Removing Entries From The Table Of Contents For speed (and laziness!) click in the TOC and press F9. The new addition will not appear in the table of contents until you update it. Note that although you may have only selected a small portion of text, the whole paragraph will appear in the TOC. Using the drop down menu select what level the text should appear. To add an additional entry to the TOC, highlight the text you want to add and then click Add Text (still on the References tab).
