In many other respects, the nine built-in styles share similar formatting. There are nine distinct TOC styles, each representing a different heading “level.” The TOC 1 style (which affects level 1 headings) positions the generated headings flush with the left margin the TOC 2 style positions level 2 headings one tab stop in from the left margin the TOC 3 style positions level 3 headings two tab stops in from the left margin and so on. If you save the style changes to the underlying template, all documents you create in the future that are based on that template will reflect those changes.
In other words, they were designed by programmers at Microsoft whose ideas about how a TOC should look aren’t necessarily well suited for the legal profession.įortunately, you can modify any one or more of these styles and save your modifications-either in the particular document open on your screen or, better yet, in the template on which your document is based. These elements of the TOC-the font face and size, the tab settings, the line spacing, the before and after spacing, and so forth-are determined by TOC styles that come with the program. Modifying a TOC style (Word 2007 / Word 2010)Īfter you have generated a Table of Contents in Word, you might notice that the TOC entries appear in the wrong font, that they are indented more (or less) than you want, that there is too much (or not enough) white space between the entries, and/or that something else doesn’t look quite right.
