using styles to generate content page

[TYPO]

Me again. Two posts and i'm a total noob (to the forum not word)



i though i may as well ask this while i am here.

When i started my PhD four years ago i had a workshop on how to use styles for headers etc to generate a content page automatically. Do you think i can find my notes. no. no i can't find my notes.

Does anyone have a link to a tutorial that shows hoe to do this. will have a look but i thought maybe someone will have a link handy as i guess you are all much more advanced word users than me.

many thanks.

Here are some to get you started:

Numbered Headings
Understanding Styles in Microsoft Word
MVP Links ...(Tutorials)
Sections / Headers and Footers in Microsoft Word - a Tutorial in the Intermediate Users Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented Legal Users' Guide to Microsoft Word)

May be more than you asked for but...good reading material.

If any one suggests you use MS Word's Master Documents "Feature" refer them to that page. People have lost years of work by trying to use that.
