Create a Table of Contents

Microsoft Word Help describes a Table of Contents as ” …. a list of the headings in a document.”

If the Outlining toolbar is not displayed, click View → Toolbars → Outlining

Select Table of Content items

Select each block of text you want inserted in the Table of Contents

From the Outlining Toolbar, select Level 1 from the Outline Level drop down menu

All of the items selected have a Level 1 heading that will be stored in the order received

Insert the Table of Contents

Insert the TOC in a blank page at the end of the document to prevent a multi-page TOC from writing over existing pages of a document

Click Insert → Reference → Index and Table → Table of Contents tab → OK

The Table of Contents displays the items selected and the matching page numbers on its own page(s). The TOC pages may be moved to another page within the document
