Hello friends! My Tech Tip this week is all about setting up a Table of Contents in either Google Docs or a Microsoft Word document using Heading styles. Why? Because I was recently in a room with four of my peers, and they were discussing a document with lots of pages… and it didn’t have a Table of Contents. This made it challenging to find the content we were looking for.
I asked if they knew about Heading styles and that you can automatically creating a Table of Contents… cricket. The answer was, “I had no idea that was possible.”
I’m a fairly technical person. It’s easy for me (and a bad habit) to take for granted that most people know about many of the features of the software they use. This is usually not the case, and this situation was another great reminder. And that’s why my Tech Tip this week shows you exactly how to do this in either a Google Doc or a Microsoft Word Doc.
Let me know if you already knew how to generate a Table of Contents in these applications… and if not, let me know if you found this video helpful. Thank you. Enjoy!
