Defining Table of Contents Entries

The best way to generate a table of contents is to apply the predefined heading paragraph styles, such as "Heading 1", to the paragraphs that you want to include in your table of contents. You can also use custom paragraph styles, so long as you assign them one of the predefined outline levels.

To use a custom paragraph style as a table of contents entry:

  1. Choose Tools - Chapter Numbering and click the Numbering tab.

  2. Select the paragraph style that you want to include in your table of contents in the \<emph\>Paragraph Style\</emph\> box.

  3. In the \<emph\>Level\</emph\> list, click the hierarchical level that you want to apply the paragraph style to.

  4. Click \<emph\>OK\</emph\>. You can now apply the style to headings in your document and include them in your table of contents.
