1. Set the paragraph title style

1. Select the main title of the first paragraph and set it to the "Title 1" style in the format style.

#2. If you are not satisfied with the style, you can modify it directly. For example, the editor here changed the font size to "No. 3".

#3. Double-click the format brush to brush the main headings of other paragraphs in the text into the same format.

4. Select the first subtitle in the first paragraph and set the format to "Title 2" in the style format. If you are not satisfied with the style, follow the above Modify directly. The editor has modified the font size here to "No. 4".

#5. Also use the format brush to brush the remaining subtitles into the "Title 2" style.

2. Generate the table of contents

1. Place the cursor below the document title (so that the table of contents is below the title and see where you need to place the table of contents. You can choose according to the actual situation), select "Reference" - "Table of Contents" - Insert Table of Contents in the menu bar.

#2. Select the display level according to the actual situation and click OK. The editor’s case is a secondary directory (the display level can be selected as long as it is larger than what you need). This creates a directory.

#3. Place the cursor below the table of contents and select "Insert" - "Page". This will cause the table of contents and text to be divided into two pages.

3. Update the table of contents

If the content of the article changes, the content or page number of the table of contents is incorrect. Then directly select the directory, right-click, "Update Domain" - "Update Entire Directory", and the directory will automatically change according to the text.
