Objectifs :
This course aims to enhance your skills in creating a custom automatic Table of Contents (TOC) in Word, allowing for personalized formatting and improved document navigation.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Custom Table of Contents
In the previous course, we learned how to create a basic Table of Contents (TOC) using the References tab. This course will take you to the next level by teaching you how to create a custom automatic TOC with personalized formatting. -
Removing the Current Table of Contents
To start fresh, we need to delete the existing TOC. Click on 'Table of Contents' and select 'Remove Table of Contents'. This ensures that everything is completely cleared before we add a new one. -
Adding a Custom Table of Contents
Next, click where you want to insert the new TOC. Open the Table of Contents gallery and select 'Custom Table of Contents'. Here, you can specify your preferences, such as including page numbers and hyperlinks. -
Configuring Tab Leaders and Levels
You can choose a tab leader, which is the line of dots or dashes between the TOC entry and the page number. For example, you can change the default dots to dashes. Additionally, you can adjust the number of outline levels displayed. By default, three levels are shown, but you can increase this to four by changing the number next to 'Show levels'. -
Setting Options for Heading Levels
Click on 'Options' to determine what Word includes in the TOC. By default, Word maps the first four heading styles to the TOC levels. You can customize this mapping if needed, but for this course, we will stick with the default settings. -
Choosing Formatting Styles
The TOC will initially use the document's template formatting. To change this, click on the 'Formats' dropdown. You will see various formatting options similar to those in the Document Formatting section. Use the 'Preview' feature to see how different formats will look. For this example, we will select 'Formal'. -
Building the Table of Contents
After selecting your formatting options, click 'OK'. Word will generate the automatic TOC based on the selected heading styles. If the appearance is not to your liking, you can return to 'Custom Table of Contents' to make adjustments. -
Final Adjustments
If you prefer a different format, such as 'Simple', you can select that option. Note that this may affect the alignment of page numbers. After making your selections, click 'OK' twice to remove the current TOC and build a new one with your customizations. -
Exploring Further Customizations
In future lessons, we will explore how to make specific changes to fonts, styles, and margins within the TOC, enhancing your document's overall presentation.
FAQ :
How do I create a Table of Contents in Word?
To create a TOC in Word, go to the References tab, click on Table of Contents, and select either an automatic or custom TOC option. You can then format it as needed.
Can I update my Table of Contents automatically?
Yes, you can update your TOC automatically by clicking 'Update Table' and selecting 'Update Entire Table' whenever you make changes to your document.
What are tab leaders in a Table of Contents?
Tab leaders are the dots, dashes, or lines that connect the TOC entries to their corresponding page numbers, helping to guide the reader visually.
How can I customize my Table of Contents?
You can customize your TOC by selecting 'Custom Table of Contents' from the Table of Contents gallery, where you can choose options like including page numbers, hyperlinks, and changing the tab leader.
What are heading styles and why are they important for a TOC?
Heading styles are predefined formats in Word that categorize text as headings. They are important for a TOC because Word uses these styles to determine what content to include in the TOC.
How do I change the format of my Table of Contents?
To change the format of your TOC, click on the Formats dropdown in the Custom Table of Contents dialog box and select your desired style. You can preview the changes before applying them.
Quelques cas d'usages :

When preparing a professional report, you can use a custom TOC to organize sections and chapters, making it easier for readers to navigate through the document. This enhances the document's usability and professionalism.
Developing a User Manual
In a user manual, a well-structured TOC allows users to quickly find information on specific topics. By customizing the TOC with hyperlinks, users can jump directly to the relevant sections, improving their experience.
Academic Thesis Formatting
For an academic thesis, creating a detailed TOC with multiple outline levels helps to clearly present the structure of the document. This is essential for meeting academic standards and facilitating reader navigation.
Project Documentation
