Here's how to update the table of contents page numbers in Word:
Place your cursor anywhere in the document, click on the "References" tab, and select "Update Directory" directly.
If you want to customize the sequence, i.e., hierarchically divide the sequence, you can do so by following these steps:
Hover your cursor in front of the first-level directory and click on the first-level directory in the top left.
In this article, you can choose to use abstract, keywords, references, etc. as the first-level table of contents, i.e., first-level titles, according to your needs.
Similarly, "identify the most important thing every day", "wake up early", etc., as secondary directories, i.e., secondary headings.
List "Replenish energy for the body according to actual work", "Surround yourself with more efficient people" and so on as the ** sequence, that is, ** headings.
Automatically generate a table of contents: Move the mouse cursor to the place where you want to insert the table of contents, for example, under References. Find [References] on the menu bar, find the table of contents under the catalog module, click the drop-down menu, and select [Insert Catalog].
After the settings are modified from "Options", the preview is correct, and click "OK" in the lower right corner.
Select the Page view tool under the View button on the toolbar to see the directory you generated.
Update page numbers: When the content of your document changes, and the page numbers increase or decrease, you need to update the page numbers in the table of contents. Place the cursor in the position of the table of contents, and click "Update Table of Contents" in the "References" tab, Word will automatically update the page numbers in the table of contents.
If your table of contents has multiple levels, such as Level 2, **, etc., Word will automatically update the page numbers for all levels when you update the table of contents.
If you notice that the format changes after updating the table of contents, it may be because you haven't styled the header correctly. Make sure your header style matches Word's built-in style, or customize the style to ensure consistency.
If your documentation is long, it may take some time to update the catalog. Just be patient.
If the above steps don't solve the problem, try restarting Word or restarting your computer.
With the above steps, you should be able to successfully update the table of contents page numbers in Word. If you have any other questions, it is recommended to consult a professional or consult the research notes related to how to use Word.
