Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Table of Contents Customization
In this section, we will explore the functionality of the Table of Contents (TOC) dialog box in Microsoft Word. The TOC is essential for organizing documents, and understanding how to customize it can enhance the readability and navigation of your work. -
Understanding Field Codes
When you enter options in the Table of Contents dialog box, Word generates field codes. These codes are a set of instructions that include a field name and switches. The primary field name for creating a TOC is 'TOC', which instructs Word to build the table. The switches modify how the TOC is constructed. For instance, the 'o' switch includes outline styles mapped to heading styles, while the 'h' switch adds hyperlinks. -
Using the TC Field for Customization
In addition to the TOC field, the 'TC' field is also useful for customizing the contents of your TOC. This allows for more granular control over what appears in the table. -
Editing Field Codes Directly
After generating field codes through the dialog box, you can edit them directly for faster customization. To do this, press Alt + F9 to reveal the field codes. For example, if you want to remove page numbers from specific TOC levels, you can do so by adding the switch '\n' followed by a range, such as '4-4', to suppress page numbers for TOC level four. -
Updating the Table of Contents
Once you have made changes to the field codes, right-click the field code and select 'Update Field' and then 'Update Entire Table' to apply your modifications. After updating, pressing Alt + F9 again will show the changes, such as the removal of page numbers from the descriptions. -
Conclusion
Customizing the Table of Contents using field codes in Word allows for greater flexibility and control over document presentation. By understanding how to manipulate these codes, users can create a more tailored and user-friendly navigation experience in their documents.
