Table of Contents
Automatically build a meaningful table of contents (TOC) using one of Click to Convert’s three methods.
The TOC can be displayed on a separate contents page or in an HTML frame. The methods include using:
1.
The headings from the original document.
This method is particularly useful for people who use MS Word’s ‘styles’ feature. This very simple
feature is explained in more detail below. Manage the way you want your styles displayed by opening
the "Change Office Options" window under the "Click to Convert" menu item inside Microsoft Word.
2.
Page numbers.
This method will produce a table of links to each HTML page e.g. Page 1, Page 2, Page 3…
3.
Prefix characters.
Use this method for almost all applications by placing specific characters in front of text that you wish
to convert into headings and section headings.
1. The Headings from the Original Document
Microsoft Word has a feature that lets you create and easily update a table of contents for any Word
document. It is these self-selected headings that Click to Convert looks for to create the HTML navigation.
It is quick, simple and very effective so this method is recommended for MS Word users.
Here’s how to use the MS Word heading feature:
1.
Make the formatting toolbar visible – click “View” on the main menu and choose “toolbars” then
“formatting” from the drop-down list.
2.
Next to the font and font size you will see a drop down list displaying “Normal”.
3.
Choose the text you want as a heading, drop down the list and choose the style you wish to apply.
When you convert your document, all the text that is labeled as a heading is turned into a table of
contents link.
TIP: to view your headings, click on View
Document Map.
IMPORTANT: You must either drag-and-drop your document onto the "Batch Publishing" window or
publish using the green and orange, Click to Convert icon on the Word toolbar if you would like to convert
embedded links (including styles).
You can choose the rank that you would like your headings / styles displayed in the navigation tree. By
default your headings are rendered with Heading 1 - Heading 9 e.g:
Heading 1
Heading 2
Heading 2
Heading 3
Heading 1
You can change the rank of these headings / styles as follows:
4.
Open the "Change Office Options" window by clicking on the "Click to Convert" menu item
5.
Highlight the style you wish to change
6.
Click on its number and choose the new level from the drop-down list.
