Creating and Updating a Table of Contents
Each table of contents (TOC) you create using a Word Processing template lists only
the content that follows it, up until the next table of contents. If you want a master
table of contents for the entire document, it must be the only table of contents, and it
must be at the beginning of the document.
To update the TOC after editing a document, click any entry in the table of contents, or
click Update Now in the TOC pane of the Document inspector. If you don’t update the
table of contents after changing a document, it updates automatically when you close
the document.
To create a table of contents:
1
Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Document button, and then click TOC.

Select the checkboxes next to the paragraph styles whose text you want to appear
in the table of contents. For example, if you want all the first-level headings and
subheadings to appear in the table of contents, select the paragraph style that you
used for first-level headings and subheadings.
Select the checkbox in the
#’s column if you want page
numbers to appear with
each entry.
Click to update the table
of contents after making
changes to your document.
Select the paragraph
styles whose text you
want to appear in the
table of contents.
Select to make all page numbers hyperlinks.
If the styles you select are not used anywhere in the document, you see a message
that your table of contents is empty when you create the table of contents. If you
select styles that are used very frequently in the document, your table of contents
might be longer than you want.

In the #’s column, select the checkboxes of those styles whose entries you want to
include a page number.

Place the insertion point at the beginning of the line where you want the table of
contents to appear, and then choose Insert > “Table of Contents.”
If the Word Processing template you’re working with has a table of contents
predefined for it, click in the page preceding where you want to insert the table of
contents, click Sections in the toolbar, and then choose “Table of Contents.”
