Tip

A table of contents is a list of the headings in a document. You can use a table of contents to get an overview of the topics discussed in a document. If you are creating a document for the Web, you can put the table of contents in a Web frame so that you can easily navigate through the document.

You can create a table of contents using the built-in heading styles and outline-level formats in Microsoft Word. If you want to use your own formatting for headings, apply custom heading styles. To use additional options for customizing the table of contents, you can use fields. For example, you can use fields to omit page numbers from part of the table of contents.

After you've specified the headings to include, you can choose a design and build the finished table of contents. When you build a table of contents, Word searches for the specified headings, sorts them by heading level, and displays the table of contents in the document.
