OTOH, if editing changes have been made to add/delete/modify TOC entries, the entire table option should be used. If you never again want to see the prompt, assign a keystroke to the UpdateTocFull command or add it as a toolbar button.
Ok so I am transcribing a lab manual which we will update once I've finished transcribing the old one. I typed up the table of contents and wanted to have a dotted line going from the text to the page number. I am new to word for mac having previously only used it on a windows pc. I have tried setting tab stops and also the insert index and tables option. When I set the tab stops as soon as I click ok it inserts the leader dots after the chapter number and before the chapter title not where I have the curser (at the end of the typed text). Going to the insert menu and then index and tables causes the same thing.

I need this to be formatted properly since it will be printed for students to use in the future. I don't think the automatic table of contents would work for me since that requires using the heading styles and I need to essential recreate exactly what exist style wise in the old manual. So please help. Please do your students and all future users of the manual by applying correct styles to it. Styles vastly improve a documents useability and future updateability. From the sounds of it, the current manual is all in Normal style with local formatting applied to create fake headings. These type of documents are often created by users with no training in Word.
For the Table of Contents, you need to be modifying Styles, specifically the styles TOC1, TOC2, etc. That are used for styling the Table of Contents.

Please follow these steps:. In Word, choose FormatStyles. Click on TOC 1, then on Modify.
Click on Format, then Tabs. Enter a tab stop position (normally the distance from left to right margin). Select Right Alignment. Select 2, the dot leader. Click on Set. Repeat for TOC 2 and up, depending on the number of levels in your Table of Contents.

Use of Word's built-in TOC generator does not require the use of heading styles. There are at least several other means by which to have TOC entries included;. Any Paragraph Style can have a TOC Level included in the Style's definition,. Even Paragraph Styles that don't have a Level assigned can be incorporated via Insert Index & Tables Table of Contents - Options,.
TC fields can be manually inserted to mark TOC content even if the content has no Style applied,. Use a combination of all the above Although PC-centric, this on MVP Suzanne Barnhill's site applies nearly verbatim to Mac Word.

Hola, this is kicking my butt haha. Ok, so I'm trying to add a table of contents using Word (Office 2004) and the different instructions have not been helpful. What I want to do is where my cursor is, select InsertIndex&TablesTable of Contents and viola, there should be a generic template and I can just plug everything in.but alas it's not so easy.even if I highlight what I want to be my table of contents (I wrote it out) nothing happens.instead, it says: Error! No table of contents entries found. What other steps am I missing?
I've used the Word Help feature and gone to Mactopia's site, also googled, followed all kinds of different instructions but absolutely nothing happens when I follow those steps. Any thoughts?
