Learn MS Word Legal - My Table Of Contents Did Not Generate
This is the scenario: My TOC did not run. There are a multitude of different people who have had this same issue:
For those of you are using a third party software such as MacPac, Softwise, Payne etc. this may not be such an issue for you. For those generic users of MS Word, this is for you.
1. First, the firms make use of the Heading Styles for the separate levels of a multi-level outline. Each Heading Style (Heading 1, 2, 3, etc.) is Linked to each separate level of the multi-level outline through the "Link Level To Style" process that we do in the Multi-Level Dialog Box. You see the "Link Level To Style" option once you click on the "More" Button in the Multi-Level Dialog Box.
2. When someone says my Table of Contents did not run, it could be for one of the following reasons:
A. The levels and the Headings were not linked in the Multi-Level Dialog Box.
B. The operator did not use the Heading Styles for for each level but created their own. Although it will work, you would have to make sure you link each level to each style you created for each separate level and
C. When you are about to run the Table of Contents, you should within the Table of Contents Dialog Box, go to "Options" and make sure that there is a level number next to those styles that are representing the different levels of the TOC you are about to run.
D. Most TOC's are two levels. Therefore, under Options, within the TOC Dialog Box, there should be a "1" next to the style name representing the first level and a "2" next to the style representing the second level of your TOC. Those numbers determine how far in from the left margin each level will be positioned.
Next time your TOC does not run, go back to the basics and the reason will become apparent for the TOC failing to run properly.
We concentrate heavily on TOC, TOA, Index of Terms and Cross References in our classes so problems such as described in this article are common to us. This knowledge is essential in day to day word processing and essential in order to pass an MS Word Hands-On Agency or Law Firm Test.
