Creating a Table of Contents has become one of the easiest task with Microsoft Word 2007 and 2010. The latest version gives you the option to generate the TOC automatically with a few modifications. You get your desired TOC outputs with all the features that a standard TOC should have.

  Follow the steps given below to create a TOC on Word 2007 and 2010:

To create a Table of Contents (TOC), first we need to define the various Styles for our content like Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3 etc. We can even define our own styles and use it.

Step 1: In Word 2010/2007, go to Reference Ribbon.

Step 2: In Table of Contents, go to Insert Table of Contents. The Table of Contents window is displayed.

Step 3: In TOC window, the Print Preview would display the layout of the TOC.

Step 4: Select the checkbox Show page numbers if you want to insert the page numbers in the TOC.

Step 5: Select Right align page numbers if you want tab leaders along with the page numbers. Tab leaders are the generally the dotted lines that connects the topic in TOC with the page numbers. This makes it easier for the viewers to locate the page numbers for a particular topic and enhances the layout of the TOC. You may choose the desired Tab Leader from the Tab Leader dropdown.

Step 6: Formats refer to the various styles in which you may set your TOC. You can choose from a variety of options as Classic, Distinctive, Modern, Fancy, Formal, Simple etc.

Step 7: Show levels refer to the levels till you want the TOC to be displayed. For example, if your content has Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3 styles but in the TOC you want only the Heading 1 and Heading 2 to be displayed. In that case choose the level as 2 from the spin box.

Step 8: Select Use hyperlink instead of page numbers if you want the topics in hyperlink. This option is preferable if your document is for the purpose displaying it over the web. Even if it is not for the purpose of displaying it over the web, you can use this option by pressing CTRL+Click to display the particular content within the document.

Step 9: If you want to change the font, font size, color etc to create the TOC select “From Template" option from Formats. The Modify button will be enabled. Click Modify to select a particular Style for a TOC.

 Step 10: Click Options. The TOC Options window is displayed.

Step 11: Select the checkbox for Styles if you want to display the available styles.

Step 12: Select the TOC level from the Available Styles. Give the levels you want for a particular Heading style. Suppose you want Heading 2 to display first in the TOC and then Heading 1 and Heading 3. In that case assign Heading 2 as TOC level 1 and Heading 1 and 3 as TOC level 2 and 3 accordingly.

Step 13: Click OK. The desired TOC will be displayed at the top of the document.

Note: Do not forget to place the cursor on the top of your document.

Scrolling down the most recent stories on my social networking account, the other day, I found one of my friends lamenting on India’s defeat to Australia in a recent cricket match by putting up a status message that portrayed his disheartened state of mind. On observing his status intensely, I found that the message had become a topic of discussion for a few of his friends who were either supporting his view or were just ridiculing his concern. A few stories later, I found another friend of mine had put up the news of his placement in an excellent company. The most striking part of the message was that he was indeed “dying to put up this news…” of his placement on his profile. Having congratulated him, I started contemplating about the developing desire among us for shouting aloud the happenings in our lives on the social media and in turn to all our friends, from the childhood BFF to a person who might be on our friend list just because he might have said “hi” to us at some point in his life. I started wondering how it has undeniably become an integral part of our lives to let other people know about each and every event of our life.  

We cannot deny the fact that Social networking has proved to be extremely propitious for all of us in various ways such that with a click of a button we can be in touch with everyone we know, anywhere on this planet; but at the same time we have witnessed an unprecedented obsession and craving to peep into the life of others, of course fueled by their own willingness. It has created a parallel world where stalking is as normal as willing to know someone in real life, public announcements are as normal as telling something classified to a relative, the hunger to be appreciated for putting up all the silly or sometimes not so silly things, is as normal as the desire to be a triumphant. Perchance in this world, everyone is a celebrity and everyone is a fan. It has given all of us the opportunity to enjoy the stardom at the most basic level. What we fail to realize is that this prominence is gradually taking a toll on us by addicting us to its huge yield and in turn making us overlook the evil side of it. People have become fanatic to such an extent that they tend to ignore their priorities. From a primary classroom to an office cabin, this parallel world of Social networking has become viral. Our day starts in this world with a “good morning…” status message and ends in this with something like “Dozing off.. gunnyt”. Perhaps we have gone a little too far from the exact purpose for which it was intended, putting our intellect, emotions and the moral values at stake.

Behind every action is a thought, and behind that thought is a desire of some kind. Probably we need to figure out a way to curb this desire of elaborating what’s on our mind to an extent so that we can start enjoying the life the way it is planned, before this desire becomes a basic instinct for us. We should realize that outside this world of binary 0’s and 1’s, a world exists with seven colors of the spectrum and millions of other fruitful shades, Perhaps it’s just the right time to reform it or else our generations to come may witness an inevitable outcome of living this world which may or may not be adverse!!
