Get Table of contents to include “title” style

Question

I know Word automatically generates a table of contents using heading levels 1 and 2.

I was wondering if it was possible to make Word include the Title formatting also?

I am using both Word 2010 and 2007 on a WIndows pc.

Answer 1

Yes, this is possible - to do this you need to:

Set the Title style to your desired Outline level so it will be available in the Table of Contents:

1. Open the Styles window (Alt+Ctrl+Shift+S)

2. Scroll down to the Title style and select Modify...

3. Click the Format button and select Paragraph...

4. Set the Outline level to your desired level

This will add the Title style to the options available in the Table of Contents builder.

To verify that the Title style will now be added to the Table of Contents:

1. Choose the References tab

2. Click Table of Contents

3. Choose Insert Table of Contents...
   

4. Click the Options... button

5. Scroll through the Available styles: list to make sure that the Title style now shows up and that it has the desired TOC level
