To apply a heading style, select the text you want to format, then choose the desired heading in the Styles group on the Home tab. In the table of contents above, each chapter uses a heading style, so there are four sections. When you insert the table of contents, it will create a section for each heading. If you apply a heading style, you're telling Word that you've started a new part of your document. Styles also serve another important purpose: adding a hidden layer of organization and structure to your document. If you've already read our Applying and Modifying Styles lesson, you know they're an easy way to add professional text formatting to different parts of your document. However, with the right formatting, Word can create and update a table of contents automatically. And if you ever decide to rearrange your sections or add more information, you'll have to update everything all over again. Microsoft Word can scan your document and find everything in the Heading 1 style and put that on the first level of your table of contents, put any Heading 2’s on the second level of your table of contents, and so on. You could create a table of contents manually-typing the section names and page numbers-but it would take a lot of work. An automatic Table of Contents uses Styles to keep track of page numbers and section titles for you automatically.
