Word TOC Template - Where Can I Find One?

Word already has useful table of contents templates for you to help you structure the chapters of your document in a clear and uniform manner.

How to find the template for the Word table of contents

• If you click on the "References" button in the tab, you will see the "Table of Contents" button on the left. (see screenshot)
• Here Word provides you with three templates: two automatic ones that automatically incorporate the chapter headings you have already written into the schema, and a manual one in which you have to enter the headings yourself later.

You can find detailed information on how to enter your text in such a table of contents template and what else you should consider in our practical tip "Insert table of contents in Word".

Are there table of contents templates for download?

If you search the Internet for additional templates for Word tables of contents, you will hardly find any useful links. The tedious search can be prevented by simply giving the predefined templates your own note. This works well if you click the "Insert table of contents ..." button (see green box in the screenshot above) and then carry out the desired formatting there.
