IS THERE AN IDIOTS GUIDE TO CREATING TOC ON MSWORD 2000?

[Guest]

no matter what! I keep getting this error"Error! No table of contents entries
found."
I have typed 18 pages of purely text document on word 2000, and now I wish
to create a Table of contents on the first page. I used help to assist but I
still get the same error.

Bogo,
To be able to produce a Toc you have to apply the in-built headings 1-9 Word
provides. Or apply self made styles to the titles you want to see appear in
the Toc.
Here's a link with some info on using the built-in headings, and why you
should use them.

Also have a look at this link from the same site: great stuff if you ask me.

Bogo shared this with us in microsoft.public.word.newusers:

entries found."

wish to create a Table of contents on the first page. I used help to
assist but I still get the same error.

There is even an idiots guide to asking questions on the usenet.
PLEASE DO *NOT* USE CAPS. THIS IS PARSED AS SHOUTING!!!

You need to either use heading styles for your headings that you want in
your TOC (this is the easy way) or manually mark each entry for the TOC.
Then Word will create and upon request update a TOC for you. See
