Creating and linking Table of Contents in Microsoft Word
Posted on 2/27/18 at 5:42 pm

Currently, I have 16 separate documents that I would like to create a TOC for in Microsoft Word.
I'm assuming I will need to copy and paste each document into one new document, correct?
What are the steps to creating a TOC with hyper-links that will take you directly to the contents page, i.e. page 4, 11, 13. 16 by clicking on the subject matter and page number in the TOC?
Anyone in the know? Or is there a YouTube video to show how it can be done?

Do you have bookmarks in the documents?
Easiest way would be to copy paste all into one, but i imagine its possible to link to bookmarks in other documents. I haven’t personally done that.
If no bookmarks, you’ll have to manually add the text you want linked to the TOC.
On the ribbon under “References”, you should see “Table of Contents”. This is where you select and insert your TOC. You’ll also see “Add Text”. This is where you’ll add the text you want to show up, either in Level 1, 2, or 3. Just highlight, or place cursor within, the text, and then select from the drop down.
Then insert or update your TOC.

Use the design formats “heading 1” “heading 2” heading 3”. You can customize each format to look like what you want it to. But once you run the TOC update it will link in those headings. It works in and outline/hierarchy format. Meaning heading 1 should be used at the start of every document, heading 2 would be sub headings of 1, and heading 3 would be sub headings of 2. Hope that helps.
