Im using microsoft word to create my first e book, im wondering if their is easier way to create a table of contents rather than going through the book manually and jotting down the page numbers?

If you formatted it correctly - then there is. "Correctly" in this context meaning that your chapter/section titles are headings (aka h1), subtitles are h2... etc. If yes, then click on Insert > Reference > Index and Tables and follow the instructions. |

I think you can get some ready made templates off the net and then just edit that.

I don't know about older versions, but Word 2007 has a built-in TOC feature under the reference tab. If you have an older version, then I'm sure that version's documentation will have something about that.

If you have already typed a manuscript; you could use find and replace to make each chapter header the proper format; h1, h2... etc, then use the TOC feature to create the table. I always end up using the help function to find the command for it, never able to remember where is is.

If you just used the rudimentary font size+bold and similar styles to style your chapter titles, instead of making them heading (h1, h2, h3, h4 etc.) then no tool will be able to create TOC. | |
