This is where the manual tweaking comes into play. You will notice that all the pages are numbered “1.” Each of our documents is only one page and start with “1” as the first page number. If you only see a field code displayed (similar to the RD codes you inserted), put the cursor in the field code and press Alt + F9 to see the table of contents. The table of contents is inserted at the cursor. Select one of the Automatic Table options. Then, click the References tab on the ribbon and click Table of Contents in the Table of Contents group. We want to insert the table of contents at the beginning of the document before the field codes, so put the cursor before the first field code and press Enter. If you don’t see the field code in the document, click the Home tab and click the paragraph symbol button to display hidden text.įollow the instructions above for each Word document you want to include in the table of contents. If the Word file you are including is in the same directory as the table of contents file, select the Path is relative to current doc check box in the Field options box. NOTE: This is where it’s helpful if you keep all the Word files to be included in the table of contents in the same directory as the table of contents Word file.

If the Word file is not in the same directory as the table of contents file, be sure to include the full path to the file. In the Field properties box, enter the name of the first Word document to be included in the table of contents.
