Word - Add formatting to a TOC Tutorial
In this video, you will learn how to add formatting to a table of contents (TOC) in Microsoft Word.
The video covers the process of selecting a line in the TOC, changing the font style and color, and how Word uses TOC styles to format the text.
By default, Word uses TOC styles 1, 2, and 3 for Headings 1, 2, and 3 respectively.
Changing the formatting of a line in the TOC automatically updates the corresponding TOC style.
The video also demonstrates how to modify the TOC styles to change the tab stop and add left indents.
This allows you to have complete control over the appearance of your automatic table of contents.
Adding formatting to a TOC can enhance the visual appeal and readability of your document.

Objectifs :
This video aims to teach users how to format a table of contents in Microsoft Word, focusing on the use of TOC styles and how changes to these styles affect the overall formatting of the document.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Table of Contents Formatting
In this section, we will explore how to add formatting to a table of contents in Microsoft Word. The process begins by selecting a line in the table of contents and changing its font style to Century Gothic and the font color to blue. -
Understanding Automatic Table of Contents
Word utilizes three key elements to create an automatic table of contents: the options selected in previous steps, the text formatted with Heading styles (1 through 4), and the built-in TOC styles that format the table of contents text. -
Exploring TOC Styles
To view the TOC styles, click the Home tab and then the Styles dialog box launcher. The Styles pane will display the built-in heading styles used in the document, including TOC 1, TOC 2, and so on. These styles dictate how the text in the table of contents is formatted. -
Modifying TOC Styles
If you wish to change the format of the table of contents text, you must modify the TOC styles. For instance, when formatting a level two text, removing italics and adding bold will automatically update the TOC 2 style. -
Updating the Table of Contents
Once the TOC styles are modified, you can right-click the table of contents and select 'Update Table' to ensure that the formatting remains consistent throughout the document. -
Adjusting Tab Stops and Indents
To further customize the TOC styles, click the arrow next to TOC 1 in the Styles pane and select 'Modify.' In the dialog box, you can change the tab stop to determine the location of the page number. For example, set the tab stop to 5, clear the old tab stop, and add a left indent of one inch. -
Final Adjustments for TOC Styles
Repeat the process for TOC 2, adjusting the tab stop to 5 and adding a left indent of 1.15 inches. Similar adjustments can be made for TOC 3 and 4 styles, giving you complete control over the appearance of your automatic table of contents.
FAQ :
How do I create a table of contents in Word?
To create a table of contents in Word, apply heading styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.) to the sections of your document. Then, go to the References tab and select 'Table of Contents' to insert an automatic TOC.
What are TOC styles and how do they work?
TOC styles are built-in styles in Word that format the text in a table of contents. When you change the formatting of a heading style, the corresponding TOC style updates automatically, ensuring consistency.
Can I customize the appearance of my table of contents?
Yes, you can customize the appearance of your table of contents by modifying the TOC styles. You can change font styles, tab stops, and indentation to achieve your desired look.
What happens if I update my document after creating a TOC?
If you update your document after creating a TOC, you can right-click the table of contents and select 'Update Field' to refresh it, ensuring that it reflects any changes made to the headings.
Why do all level one headings change when I modify one?
All level one headings change when you modify one because they are all formatted with the same TOC style (TOC 1). Changing the style affects all text associated with that style.
