MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / January 2005Creating a TOC without a document
How can I manually create a TOC that does not require the actual document as reference? I have authored a music method book using a music notation program. I want to use Word to create the TOC. I was hoping that there would be a layout style or other tool that would allow me to do that. TIA, PB. You could start by using the built-in TOC styles, which already have a tab at the right margin with a period leader.  SignatureSuzanne S.

I might be misunderstanding something basic, but could you or someone else please elaborate on how to apply a TOC-style or point me in the right direction? thanks for the reply.

I can see how I can choose TOC-styles under "New Style --> Style based on" but how do I get the tab leader to show up? It asks for the "tab stop position", what does that refer to? And finally, how do I enter the page numbers, so that they are right-aligned? I've studied the training chapters on "styles and formatting" but found no explanation of this. Someone please help, TIA, :-) PB. > You could start by using the built-in TOC styles, which already have a tab > at the right margin with a period leader.

I believe the tab stop in the TOC styles is set dynamically when you generate a TOC using Insert | Reference | Index and Tables, so using the TOC styles might not be the best approach after all.
