Hello everyone,
While writing my thesis, I can't seem to perform an operation that I thought would be quite simple. I want to add a summary for the entire document at the beginning of my thesis, additionally include a table of contents for the whole document at the end of my thesis, and finally, insert a list of appendices.
I've browsed through several forums, found multiple tutorials; many explain how to insert multiple tables of contents in a single document, but they pertain to specific tables of contents for different sections of a document. However, in my case, I need to insert two tables of contents (even though the first one is actually a summary, but let's not nitpick) for the entirety of the document ^^ along with a list of appendices.
I'm a bit lost... Does anyone have the solution?
Thank you so much!!!

Good evening,
Well, we're not going to nitpick... :) For Word, it's all the same to me.
A table of contents is a TOC field.
You can insert as many tables of contents as you want, wherever you want. When Word asks if you want to overwrite the existing table, you answer no.
Then, there are several ways to do it, but here’s an easy solution:
Press Alt+F9 to display the field codes.
Your default table contains three levels, and it’s written like this:
\o "1-3"
\o means that it’s based on your heading styles
1-3 means that there are three levels taken into account.
For your summary, you only want one level? You type 1-1 instead of 1-3.
You update the table, and press Alt-F9 again to display it.
For your appendices, there are also several solutions, the simplest being to give your appendix titles specific styles. This can be, for example, a heading level that you don’t use (Heading 9 for example), it can be any other style. The easiest is to apply a heading style.
Then you re-insert a table of contents (same as above) and instead of 1-3, you put 9-9 assuming you used the Heading 9 style.
If you use another style, for example, the "toto" style, you replace
\o "1-3"
with
\t "toto;1"
and don’t forget to update.
And there you go!!

There is no shame in not knowing everything, but taking credit for others' work is the most despicable thing... Please cite your sources!
