MS Office Word: Update table of contents
If you have inserted a new heading in Word, you can easily update your table of contents. We'll show you how it's done.
Word: Update table of contents
These instructions work in Office versions 2013, 2010 and 2007. If you are using an older version of Word, the individual functions may be arranged differently.
- Open your Word document and go to the "References" tab above.
- Under the "Table of Contents" category, click the "Update Table of Contents" or "Update Table" button.
- The new heading or other changed entries are then transferred to the table of contents. You no longer have to edit this manually.
