Table of contents are created in order to more beautifully draw up a document and better understand its structure.

The process of compiling the content is not complicated, does not take much time. Decide on what will be the headings, sections. The next step is to create links. In the Word tape, go to the "References" tab. On the left there will be a “Content” block with which you will work. Highlight a section of text that is responsible for the section name and click "Add Text". If this title is the main section, then select “Level 1” in the menu; if this is a sub-item, then “Level 2” or “Level 3” for lower sections. Such actions need to be done with each in turn. If you make a mistake or do not want to add any chapter to the list, then in the same menu “Add text” click on the item “Do not include ...”.

After adding each chapter will create the content of the document. To do this, click "Table of Contents." A window will appear asking you to specify the type of autoslip table of contents, there are only two of them. Specify more appropriate. After the selection is made, Microsoft Word will automatically create a list of the marked names of the main sections and subsections (if any). Remember to pre-page number.

There is an alternative way. You can do the same thing manually, without using links. To do this, in the same tab "Links", select "Manual table of contents." A template appears that you can manually rewrite and modify.
