How can I format the style of my Table of Contents

When I generate a Table of Contents I cannot edit the style so that the formatting can be changed. Can anyone help please?

RE: How can I format the style of my Table of Contents

Yes to change the Table of Contents style, this is not easy to find in Word. However the instructions below will give you the answer.

Whilst in the document that you wish to change the Table of Contents for, select Format menu, Styles and Formatting.

The Task Pane should now be opened up on the right of your screen.

Look towards the bottom and select the drop-down arrow in Show to choose Custom.

Scroll down the Format Settings dialog box which has now displayed on your screen and look for TOC 1 through to TOC 9.

If you have up to three levels in your Table of Contents, click to select TOC 1, TOC 2 and TOC 3

Click OK

These three styles will now be available for modifying from the list.

Right click on the style name e.g. TOC 1 in the Task Pane to made changes.

Click OK to save your changes which will now reflect in your table of contents.

For more information Table of Contents is covered on our Word Advanced course.

 

Word tip:

Changing case

Sometimes, you're typing along and don't realize that you have left on or accidently pressed the Caps Lock key. Or maybe you have typed a paragraph in all caps then decide you would prefer to have it in title case or lower case.

Word provides you with several ways of changing case quickly:

1. You can change case by selecting the text and going to Format-Change Case. You can then choose from a variety of different formats including uppercase, lower case, sentence case, toggle case, and title case.

2. The keyboard can be used to change case. Select the text then use Shift key + F3 (function key) to cycle through the options (lower case, sentence case and all caps).

3. Word has an AutoCorrect feature that corrects accidental use of the caps lock key for you. You can find this feature under Tools-AutoCorrect Options. The "Correct accidental use of the cAPS lOCK key" should be checked.
