Let me show you how to make a table of contents in Microsoft Word. I'm using a pre-existing document for this example. Because I want my table of contents to appear before the actual document, I'm going to create a new page for it.

To do so, I'll go to the top ribbon and left-click on insert, then select blank page. I now have a blank page on which to write my table of contents. When I insert the table of contents, it will begin where the cursor is currently located in the document. So I want to make sure my cursor is at the very top.

To insert my table of contents, I'll go to references, and on the left-hand side, just below the table of contents, there's a dropdown menu. There are two types of tables: automatic and manual. In this example, I'll use an automatic table. And I can see that when I use table one, it says contents; when I use table two, it says table of contents.

Thanks for watching!
