Word - Add custom entries to a TOC Tutorial
In this video, you will learn how to add custom entries to a table of contents (TOC) in Microsoft Word.
By using the TC field, you can create descriptive text specifically for the TOC and hide it in the field code.
This allows the text to appear in the TOC but not in the body of your document.
You can insert the TC field by clicking on the Insert tab, selecting Quick Parts, and then Field.
In the Field dialog box, choose TC and enter the descriptive text you want to appear in the TOC.
Make sure to check the Outline Level option and assign a TOC level, such as eight, to format the text with the corresponding TOC style.
Additionally, you can suppress page numbers if needed.
After adding the field code, you can view it by clicking on the Show Hide Paragraph Marks button.
To display the TC field entries in the TOC, edit the TOC field code by pressing Alt+F9 and adding "\f" after the t switch.
Finally, update the field to see the description in the TOC.
You can also format the text by modifying the TOC style.
This method provides flexibility and allows you to customize your table of contents.

Chapitres :
-
Introduction to TC Field in Table of Contents
In this section, we explore the advantages of using the TC field in Microsoft Word for creating a table of contents. Unlike the custom styles used in previous methods, the TC field allows for more flexibility and the ability to include descriptive text that will appear in the TOC but not in the main body of the document. -
Inserting TC Field Codes
To insert a TC field code, follow these steps: 1. Click at the beginning of the first paragraph in the section. 2. Navigate to the Insert tab. 3. Click on Quick Parts and then select Field. 4. In the dialog box, scroll down and select TC. 5. Enter the descriptive text you want to appear in the TOC in the text entry box. 6. Under Field Options, check 'Outline Level' and type '8' to assign TOC level eight to the text. 7. Check 'Suppress Page Numbers' to prevent the page number from displaying. 8. Click OK to add the field code. -
Viewing and Hiding Field Codes
To view the field code you just added, go to the Home tab and click the Show/Hide Paragraph Marks button. This will display the field code along with the descriptive text and switches added by the dialog box. To hide the field code again, click the Show/Hide Paragraph Marks button once more. -
Updating the Table of Contents
To ensure the TC field entries are displayed in the table of contents, follow these steps: 1. Press Alt + F9 to display the TOC field code. 2. Click ahead of the 't' switch and type '\f' followed by a space. 3. Update the field by pressing Alt + F9 again to see the description below the relevant TOC entry. -
Formatting the TC Entry
To format the TC entry: 1. Go to the Home tab and open the Styles pane. 2. Locate the TOC eight style that corresponds to the level assigned to your TC entry. 3. Click Modify, then click Format and select Paragraph. 4. Indent the left and right margins as done previously in the summary style. 5. Click OK twice to apply the changes. -
Conclusion
Using field codes in Microsoft Word may seem daunting at first, but they provide a wealth of possibilities for customizing your table of contents. By following the steps outlined in this video, you can effectively add your own content to a TOC, enhancing the organization and presentation of your document.
