A properly formatted table of contents allows users to rapidly access key chapters, improves the clarity of the manual, and elevates the learning experience.


To initiate, open your training manual in Word 2016 and confirm that all titles are accurately tagged using the native Word styles. Avoid using manual formatting headings in custom fonts, as this will prevent Word from recognizing them for dynamic inclusion.

This hierarchical structure forms the base of your table of contents.


Once all headings are consistently applied, position your insertion point where you want the table of contents to show up, commonly found following the document header and coming before the opening topic. Go to the Citations & References panel on the toolbar and choose the Contents option. Select one of the built-in formats provided, such as Default TOC or Modern TOC, depending on your aesthetic preference. Word will analyze your document for all structured headers and create a fully linked table of contents that represents the layout of your manual. The sections will be interactive, allowing users to select any chapter and go immediately to it.

Here, you can set the levels to display, switch the number presentation, manage dot leader types, and even personalize text style and line height. Refrain from ornate formats that may obscure the content. Keep the structure professional and uniform with the broader style guide.

Always test the hyperlinks by pressing the Ctrl modifier and clicking on each entry to verify they take you to the target destinations.


Finally, before approving the manual, produce a hard copy a draft or view it in Page Layout view to confirm that the table of contents fits well on the page and does not run off the page. If it does, adjust changing page size slightly. A well-executed table of contents not only improves accessibility but also communicates to users that the training material is highly organized.
