Hi everyone,



I am currently writting my thesis and need to comply to the university formatting and all I have is a pdf sample (that I basically need to replicate)


I know how to create a dynamic table of contents but my problems are the following:

1. How to get spaces in between for example "1 Introduction" and "2 Litterature Review" ?

2. How to chose that the dotted lines are there for point "3.1", "3.2" etc but not "3"

3. How to get the number in front of the chapter exemple "1 Introduction" when in the body of the theses it says only "Introduction" (template picture 2)?

I have attached two images to show better what I mean in my questions. I really appreciate the help. Thank you

These are handled by the TOC styles. See links below.

There are two things I would try. The first is a TC field. The second would be to try to make the TOC1 style itself a numbered style. I think the TC field will do it for you.

I assume that Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc. are heading styles not included in your TOC. I draw your attention to the following articles.

• Generating a Table of Contents - Complex Documents
• TOC Tips and Tricks
• How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in Ribbon Versions of Word by Shauna Kelly
• How to number headings and figures in Appendixes in Microsoft Word by Shauna Kelly

Like Index fields, TC fields take a bit of handling. You will want to be careful in your proofreading. You could use a Cross-Reference field to capture the appropriate Chapter Number inside your TC field so that if you reorganize, you will not have to retype the TC fields.

Thanks a lot Charles Kenyon for your help, it all worked out perfectly! Cheers!
