Create a table of contents in Microsoft Office Word 2007

Prepare your document for a table of contents

Type text that you want to use as a heading, and then press Enter to place the text in its own paragraph. You can add a heading after you have written a section or before you start writing. 

 

Click anywhere within the text, and then, on the Home tab in the Styles group, click the Heading 1, Heading 2, or Heading 3 style. The text becomes a heading. The heading numbers correspond to outline levels: Heading 3 is a sub-level of Heading 2, which is a sub-level of Heading 1. Your choice of heading number depends on how you want to organize your document.

Continue writing the document and add headings using the built-in heading styles.
