Introduction
A table of contents (TOC) provides a quick reference point for your document, giving
the reader a brief overview of where to find what content. When you insert a table of
contents in Word 2010, Word searches through your document looking for items marked
for use in the TOC. Some elements, such as headings, are marked by default but you can
also mark other elements manually yourself.
Hyperlink is a way to jump quickly from one location to another. Captions are used to
label figures and other objects.

Table of Contents
Apply a heading style
Before creating a table of contents, you first need to apply built-in heading styles in
MS-Word to the text that you want to include in the table of content. To apply heading
style, do the following:
1. Select the text to which you want to apply a heading style.
2. On the Home tab, in the Styles group, click the style that you want.

For example, if you selected text that you want to style as a main heading, click the style
called Heading 1 in the Quick Styles gallery.

Inserting A Table of Contents


When your document is ready for a table of contents be careful where you position your
cursor. The TOC will be inserted where the cursor is, not at the start of the document.
Make sure you go to the start of your document before you proceed.

Introduction to Information & Communication Technology


To make some room for the TOC, insert a page break by clicking Insert > Pages > Page
Break. The insertion point remains where it was, with the new blank page preceding it so
go back to the top of your document and click References > Table of Contents> Table of
Contents. Thumbnail images representing the different TOC styles are displayed in the
gallery and they adopt the current theme in your document.

You will also notice that there are two options in the menu for Automatic Table 1 and
Automatic Table 2. These two options insert a table of contents that is automatically
generated from the headings in the document. This is a quick and easy task. If you select
Manual Table, however, a structured TOC template is inserted but you have to type in
the TOC’s contents manually, as shown below.

Using the Insert Table of Contents Option

Introduction to Information & Communication Technology


The thumbnails give you a quick way of inserting a table of contents that will be styled
the same way your documents is, but you are given more control with the Insert Table of
Contents option at the bottom of the menu. When you click this option, the following
window opens.

You can change such attributes for your TOC as the format and how many heading
levels to show. If you want to show only a brief TOC, you can choose to show only level
1 headings. Updating the Table Of Contents

Adding Entries to A Table of Contents

You can add entries to a table of contents by selecting the text that you want to add and
then by clicking References > Table of Contents > Add Text, and then select the level
you require. Level 1 formats the text as a heading 1, and so on. Note that the whole
paragraph is affected, not just the selected text. You can update the TOC by clicking the
Update Table button on the same tab.

Removing Entries from A Table of Contents

Removing entries from the TOC is just as easy. Select the text that you previously added
and click References > Table of Contents > Add Text, and then select Do Not Show in
Table of Contents. You will need to update the TOC again to see the changes reflected
there.

Introduction
Wrapping text around figures, also called graphic objects or images, can give your
documents a more polished look and help focus attention on the most important content.
Very rarely, do we actually want a picture to be aligned with text using the default In
Line with Text option. Using the text wrapping styles in Microsoft Word, you can create
documents with just the look you want.

How to Wrap Text around a Graphic in Word 2010

Click the image to select it. When the image is selected, the contextual Picture Tools >
Format tab displays on the Ribbon. In the toolbar, click the Text Wrapping menu, found
in the Arrange group to display your text wrapping options. With most of these text
wrapping choices, you can now drag the graphic into position.

Wrapping Styles

Introduction to Information & Communication Technology


Word has several wrapping styles that give you control over how the image
integrates with the document. Following wrapping styles are available in MS Word .

In line with text

The In line with text style is the default wrapping


style in MS Word. In this wrapping style image is
treated like text specifically, like a large, single
character. It inserts the graphic in the text at the
location of the insertion point. The graphic moves as
you add or delete text. The text does not wrap
around the graphic; the bottom of the picture is aligned with the baseline of the text.
______________________________________________________________________
Square
The most common wrapping style is Square, which means
the text wraps around a
rectangular box (called a “bounding box”) that encloses
the image. The graphic moves as you add or delete text.
This style is useful at the beginning of paragraphs if you
want a clean edge to the text

______________________________________________________________________

Tight wrapping is similar to square wrapping, but


instead of following the line of the bounding
box, it follows the shape of the image. If the
image is a rectangle, you will not see a difference.
But if your image is any other shape, the text
wraps closely around the edge, creating a more
dramatic effect. This style is useful in the middle of
a block of text when you do not want white space
around the graphic
Behind Text

The Behind Text option places the image on a


separate layer from the text. It causes the text to
flow over the image. This can be useful if you want to
create a watermark effect or a

background to a section of the page

______________________________________________________________________

In Front of Text
In front of text places the image in front of text,
obscuring it. The graphics layer is on top of the text layer.
This style is of limited use because it hides the text

Top and Bottom


As the name implies, the text will stay above and below
the image, not wrapping on the sides. This can be useful
when you have a large image that doesn’t leave much
room for wrapping text on the sides.

Through

The least understood wrapping option is Through. When you initially apply it, it looks
exactly like tight wrapping. The difference is that Through wrapping allows text to flow
into the white space inside an image as shown in the figure below. It won’t do that by
default, though. To see the full effect, you need to use the Edit Wrap Points option on
the Wrap Text menu. Once you select this option, the line that the text follows when
wrapping will be visible (the red line in the example below), with handles at each
corner that can be dragged to adjust that line.

Introduction to Information & Communication Technology


For many objects there will be no functional difference between tight and through
because the wrapping points define a path in which there are no holes. Perhaps the
best example would be for text boxes or tables, which are rectangular items. There are
no internal holes, so tight and through wrapping have the same result.

Create a watermark from a picture

You can use a picture for a watermark in your document. You can add the picture as a
watermark and give it a washout effect that can be used to decorate a document.
1. On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Background group, click Watermark.

2. Click Custom Watermark.


3. Click Picture watermark, and then click Select Picture.
4. Select the picture that you want, and then click Insert.
5. Select a percentage under Scale to insert the picture at a particular size
Select the Washout check box to lighten the picture so that it does not interfere with
text. The picture that you selected is applied as a watermark to the entire document.
Adding Tables

Tables are used to display data in a table format.

Introduction to Information & Communication Technology


Create a Table

To create a table:
• Place the cursor on the page where you want the new table
• Click the Insert Tab of the Ribbon
• Click the Tables Button on the Tables Group. You can create a table one of four
ways: o Highlight the number of row and columns
o Click Insert Table and enter the number of rows and columns
o Click the Draw Table, create your table by clicking and entering the rows and
columns o Click Quick Tables and choose a table

Modify the Table Structure and Format a Table

To modify the structure of a table:


• Click the table and notice that you have two new tabs on the Ribbon: Design
and
Layout. These pertain to the table design and layout.
On the Design Tab, you can choose:
• Table Style Options
• Table Styles
• Draw Borders
To format a table, click the table and then click the Layout Tab on the Ribbon. This
Layout tab allows you to:
• View Gridlines and Properties (from the Table Group)
• Insert Rows and Columns (from the Rows & Columns Group)
• Delete the Table, Rows and/or Columns (from the Rows & Columns
Group)
• Merge or Split Cells (from the Merge Group)
• Increase and Decrease cell size (Cell Size Group)
• Align text within the cells and change text directions (Alignment Group)
