Word 2007 assembles a table of contents (TOC) for you by listing the headings (each with the page number) you designate throughout your document beforehand. Word takes care of counting pages, and even adjusts the TOC for you if the document’s page numbers change. When you create a TOC, Word searches your document for heading paragraphs to include in the table, recognizing them by the styles you assign to them.

Apply heading styles to your chosen headings.

Click the Table of Contents style you want to use.

To customize your TOC, click the Table of Contents button and select Insert Table of Contents Field.

This action summons the Table of contents dialog box, where you can choose options for your table:
Show Page Numbers: Deselect this check box if you want the TOC to show the document’s outline but not page numbers.
Right-Align Page Numbers: Deselect this check box if you want the page numbers placed right next to the corresponding text rather than at the right margin.
Tab Leader: Use this drop-down list to change or remove the dotted line that connects each TOC entry to its page number.
Formats: Use this drop-down list to select one of several predefined formats for the Table of Contents.
Show Levels: Use this control to specify which heading levels to include in the table.
After you create the TOC, it does not reflect later changes you make to the document unless you update (rebuild) it by following these next two steps:
