 Worked Example
When working on a document in Microsoft Word, you may encounter the need to start
a new page at a specific point in your text. This is where a page break comes in handy.

A page break is a tool that allows you to control where one-page ends, and the next
one begins. Additionally, in long documents, it’s essential to manage how content is distributed
across pages and provide a navigation tool like a table of contents.

Page breaks are essential for controlling where a new page begins within your
document. They allow you to separate content logically and ensure that specific sections start on
fresh pages.

These features improve readability and professionalism.

 Auto Table of Contents
Auto Table of Contents in MS Word is a handy feature that automatically
generates a table of contents based on the headings in your document.
To use this tool safely and responsibly, it's essential to ensure that your
document headings are correctly formatted with the appropriate heading styles.
This not only helps MS Word accurately generate the table of contents
but also makes your document more accessible and organized for readers.
Remember to regularly update your table of contents as you make
changes to your document to keep it current and user-friendly. By practicing
caution and vigilance when using the Auto Table of Contents feature, you can
enhance the readability and professionalism of your documents.
Worked Example
When reading a book, the table of contents makes it
easier to navigate through the contents. You can also generate a
table of contents in your Word document.
A table of contents helps especially when your document
is large. It allows the reader to locate and navigate to a specific
topic of interest. This also makes your document more user-
friendly. At the same time, it becomes easier for you to edit the
content in your document.
To add a table of contents, your document must be using
the first three heading styles. These are Heading 1, heading 2, and
Heading 3. You can add the heading styles as you are writing the
document. But if you have not done so, you can add them later as
well. Once you have added the heading styles, you can create the
table of contents.
