Objectifs :
This course aims to teach advanced techniques for creating a custom Table of Contents (ToC) in Microsoft Word, allowing users to have complete control over the contents and formatting of their ToC.
Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Custom Table of Contents
In this course, we will explore advanced techniques to create a custom Table of Contents (ToC) in Microsoft Word. While Word can automatically generate a ToC from the built-in heading styles, we will go further by creating a fully customized automatic ToC that gives you complete control over its contents. -
Understanding Custom Styles
The first step in creating a custom ToC is to utilize Custom Styles. By default, Word builds the ToC from text formatted with built-in heading styles. However, you can instruct Word to recognize other styles, including those you create yourself. For instance, if you want to add brief descriptions under each heading entry, you can create a custom style for that purpose. -
Creating a Custom Style
To create a custom style, select the text you want to appear in the ToC. This text will initially be formatted as normal. Next, open the Styles Gallery and click on 'Create a Style.' Name your new style 'Summary.' Although you can modify the formatting, we will keep it consistent with the rest of the paragraph. Click 'OK' to finalize the style creation. -
Mapping the Custom Style to the ToC
After creating the custom style, you need to inform Word to include it in the ToC. Click ahead of the Table of Contents, open the Table of Contents Gallery, and select 'Custom Table of Contents' followed by 'Options.' The first three heading styles correspond to the first three ToC levels. Scroll down to your new style and map it to Level 4, then click 'OK.' The preview will now show the new style under Heading 3. Click 'OK' and confirm to replace the current table. -
Formatting the Summary Text
With the Summary text now added to the ToC, the final step is to format it appropriately. Select the text in the Table of Contents, open the Styles pane, and scroll down to the ToC Styles. Since we mapped the text to ToC Level 4, it will be formatted with the ToC 4 style. Click the arrow next to ToC 4, select 'Modify,' then click 'Format' and 'Paragraph.' Indent the left and right margins by 1.5 inches, and click 'OK.' You may also want to add italics for emphasis before clicking 'OK' again. -
Conclusion
Mapping custom styles to a ToC level is a quick and effective way to control what appears in your Table of Contents. By following these steps, you can create a professional and organized ToC that enhances the readability and structure of your document.
FAQ :
How do I create a custom Table of Contents in Word?
To create a custom Table of Contents in Word, first format your headings using built-in styles or custom styles. Then, go to the Table of Contents Gallery, select 'Custom Table of Contents', and map your styles to the desired ToC levels. Finally, update the ToC to reflect your changes.
What is the benefit of using custom styles in a Table of Contents?
Using custom styles allows you to have more control over what appears in your Table of Contents. You can include additional information, such as summaries, and format them according to your preferences, enhancing the document's usability.
Can I update my Table of Contents automatically?
Yes, Word allows you to update your Table of Contents automatically whenever you make changes to the headings or styles in your document. Simply right-click on the ToC and select 'Update Field' to refresh it.
What should I do if my custom style does not appear in the Table of Contents?
If your custom style does not appear in the Table of Contents, ensure that you have mapped it to the correct ToC level in the Table of Contents options. You may also need to update the ToC after making changes.
Quelques cas d'usages :
Creating a Professional Report
In a professional report, you can use a custom Table of Contents to include not only the main headings but also brief summaries of each section. This enhances readability and allows stakeholders to quickly grasp the content of the report.
Developing a User Manual
When developing a user manual, mapping custom styles to the Table of Contents can help organize the manual effectively. You can include additional notes or tips under each section heading, making it easier for users to find relevant information.
Formatting Academic Papers
In academic papers, using a custom Table of Contents can help in presenting a clear structure. By including summaries or key points under each heading, you can provide readers with a quick overview of the paper's content, improving comprehension.
Glossaire :
