Do you know the methods on how to make a Table of Contents automatically in Microsoft Words?
Problem :
Everytime I have to update a certan part of the document, I also need to update the number in my table of contents manually. I need to make it Automatic .
Solution :
By using the Index Table function in Microsoft Word
How :
- Go to Insert >> Reference >> Index and Tables
- Make the content of your document
- After completion identify the level 1, Level 2, etc ( You can see at the left Corner side of your screen the headings will be the main topic

I need the instructions on how to make a table of contents automatic. I haven’t found them anywhere. Can someone help me?
Is it possible to resize the TOC? If yes, how?
@Leslie,
Have you tried to adjust the margins ?
@Dexter Panganiban, Yes but the page numbers of my TOC still appear on the right most part of the page. I would like to have my TOC smaller so it can ‘fit’ my document.
I was wondering if there was a way to change the settings so that you don’t have to hold Ctrl to use the link…Is there a way to make it so that you just click on the link (without using Ctrl) to get to the designated page.

Hi,
I need to formulate a TOC, which automatically update itself. That means we dont have to click update the page number button to update. Is it possible?

@Mehvish,
Just follow the instruction above and you can make it like that 🙂
@Dexter Panganiban, I have already made the TOC. but my question is after inserting TOC, whenever I change the pages, TOC automatically update itself.
In word to update the changes we have to click either UPDATE ENTIRE TABLE OR PAGE NUMBER ONLY. I want to avoid this step.
I need a solution where after inserting the TOC, it automatically update the changes.
Now if this calls for changes in VB or through micros. I dont have any idea. That where I need your help.

@Mehvish,
HHHmmm.. This I don’t have idea, the reason why you are going to this is for safety purpose so that if you did somethign wrong the table will not update automatically
