Creating Table of Contents for Manuals, Lists, Etc.

Table of contents are actually quite easy to create, once you have completed the basics. After that point, all you need to do is type all of the information into the document and you are set to go.

Here are the steps on creating a simple table of contents for manuals, lists, etc.:

• Type in the title and position it where you want.
• Type in the headings, but make sure you press the "Tab" button once between each heading.
• Double click on the ruler at the top (if it's not showing, click "View" then "Ruler") and you will see this screen show up:

• Make sure to click on the particular alignment that you want, left, right, etc. and make sure to click the particular Leader that you want to use (as in ...). Do this for all sections that you have created.
• Click on the particular section heading, such as "Name", "City", etc. and move the tab sections to where you want everthing for each section to be aligned (as shown below):
  
  

• Next, type in the name of the person on the list (as an example).
• Next, press the "Tab" button and you will see that a "..." will show up between the end of the person's name and the next section.
• Continue this until you have completed your list.

Now you can impress your boss with a professional looking manual/list.
