Today’s #uptechtip is a handy way to create a table of contents in MS Word. This is something I’ve really found useful as I’ve been writing longer form content in my graduate studies – even if I don’t intend to include a ToC in the finished project it’s a great way to enhance navigation and revision ability while working. It’s also stellar example of how using Styles (instead of just large of bold text) can be a huge efficiency boost, in addition to being important for document accessibility.

Notes
- Are you on a Mac instead of a PC? It’s a very similar process to add a ToC on Mac.
- I didn’t cover this in the video, but the ToC items are hyperlinks to each document section. To follow the link on PC hold down CTRL while clicking on a ToC section. Need to export your doc as a PDF? In Office 2016 the hyperlinks will be maintained in the PDF.
