Customized heading styles

 

The custom heading styles that are used in your document, can also be used in our index.
First place the cursor in your document at the place where you want to insert the contents.
Then click the “Table of Contents”option under the tab “References” in the ribbon.
Choose at the bottom of the drop-down menu for “Insert Table of Contents”.
This opens the dialog “Table of Contents”.
Click the “Options” button in the dialog box.

This opens a dialog “Table of contents Options”.
The box “Styles” is checked by default.
On the left side we find the available styles.
On the right side we find the level that is assigned to the style.
So you can see in Figure 1, Below, that the level 1 is assigned to Header 1, Level 2 is assigned to Heading 2, and Level 3 is assigned to Heading 3.
This is the default setting.
For now the default heading style-settings, remove the numbers (levels) from the box Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3 (Figure 3)
You scroll down, and you will see the custom heading styles (Figure 2).

Figure 2

Place the numbers 1, 2 and 3 (level) in the appropriate boxes (Figure 4).

Click OK when you’re done.
And click OK in the previous dialog.
This gives us a table of contents based on homemade heading styles.

Update Table of Contents

When we have made changes in our document, for example if we have added a chapter between chapter 2 and chapter 3, we must, of course, adapt the contents.
For this position place the cursor at the top of the Table.
Click the button “Update Table” that appears.

 

 

This opens a dialog window with two options.

1. Only page numbers update.
2. On the whole update.
The first option is selected. This updates the page numbers when we have our document data deleted or added.

The second option will delete all changes we made in our document.
These include both the page numbers, plus the various existing or newly inserted headings, plus the various levels.

So if you have a whole chapter inserted between 2 and 3, you choose the second option: “In the whole update”.

Click OK in the dialog.

The chapter you have just inserted between chapter two and three, be included in the Table.
