I can't thank you enough for teaching me how to insert a table of contents. I am working on my graduation project and I needed to watch this video more than anything else. Stay blessed, man. Cheers!
Thank you for putting together a great video with accurate information on this topic. This was better than any other resource I found in regards to this topic.
Thank you, this is not addressed in APA and this is the first place I found a concise, understandable explanation. APA should link to the URL of this video :)
@Hector Nunez: This is outstanding! I looked at just a few other explanations, and found that this is the easiest one to follow, mainly because you included very important content. Much appreciation. GO E
HECTOR!!!!!!! THIS WAY THE BEST TUTORIAL! BY FAR THE BEST HERE ON YOU TUBE! YOU DESERVE A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR THIS! AND POSSIBLY YOUR FACE ON SOME MONEY!!👍👍👍🎆🎆🎆
this was wildly informative. I am getting my master's and the things I did not know Word, Excel, and PP can do before entering this program. Thanks for the info! Also - Hey Liberty!! I am in Greensboro, not too far away and my bother went there.
Please help.... How do you change the page number to start on a different page, like if this was for a dissertation or something was several pages that need to be unnumbered before the table of contents
Thnx for sharing such an informative video...I face a pblm when after making table of content..I make the new table for list of figures..the previous table also gets mixed and pasted on the document..hope u got my point
This is very helpful! I'm just wondering what I'm doing wrong. Whenever I generate my table, it doesn't automatically generate a nice table of contents like yours, it actually has full paragraphs from my paper in the table! I went through and selected headers one and two, made sure that the paragraphs in the essay are not listed as headers, and still no luck. Any idea where I'm going wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!
Alyssa. I've had this happen before. Make sure your paragraphs are not selected to a heading style. Only the paragraph heading should be in this style. Paragraphs are typically in normal style. You can modify the normal style to match APA paragraph settings.
Hi, thanks for your helpful illustrated instruction. It has helped me a lot. However, the page numbers in the content list does not match the content pages in the text after double spacing my text. What can I do?
Thank you for the feedback. If you right click on the table of contents, you'll have the option to update the page numbers only or to update all fields. If you haven't updated any headings, you should just be able to select the page numbers option and be okay. Make sure to save the file first in case updating the TOC causes some type of unusual behavior. Hope this helps!
I hope you guys know that there are Word templates named APA that will give you those headings automatically for you. It will even create you a Table of Contents and a References section. If you want to customize that APA template to your own liking, you can ¨Save As¨ Word Template, with an extension ".dotx" instead of ".docx". It will save the template in a folder named "Custom Office Templates" in your "Documents" folder. Now, you can use your own personalized Apa template for all your professional Word documents.
Ruben, you are correct in that there are templates out there. Make sure that each of the predefined styles follow the expected format. At time, there will be additional spacing in between paragraphs that shouldn't bet there. Best of luck!
how do i remove PAGE NUMBERS in every CHAPTER? (or it is possible to do that?) here is the sample: CHAPTER 1 (i don't want to put a page number) then the next page there is. (until the end of chapter 1) then in chpter 2 i don't want to put a page number again (and soon on) can i do that? i'm using MS WORD (2013)
How do you save the TOC style in the Mac Word version so you don't have to recreate it every time? No matter how many times I select save to template and quick style list, it never saves and you can't apply it in a new doc.
I'm not sure about the Mac OS version of Word, but it should be similar to the Windows version. You would need to save the style settings to a template and then either select and apply the template or set it as your default. Do you believe a short video would help?
I believe you should be able to use the 'save as' feature, name the file, and select PDF from the dropdown menu directly below the area you typed in the name.
