Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to create a table of contents with a drop-down menu for each main title in Word?

As my table of contents is quite extensive, I would like it to fit on one page, showing only the main titles, and with a drop-down menu to view and choose the subtitles (while keeping the Ctrl+Click for direct navigation to the pages for the main titles and subtitles).

I hope I am clear ^^

Thank you for your help

Configuration: Windows / Internet Explorer 11.0

    Hello,

    The navigation pane display is made for that...
    View tab => Show group => Navigation Pane.

      Thank you, but is it not possible to do this directly in the table of contents?

      And when I close the document and reopen it, this feature does not remain automatically
      This is not the solution I am looking for
      I want something automatic as soon as the document is opened

      Alright, I will stick to my "paragraph" "hierarchical level" setting in "always collapsed" mode, too bad!

      Thank you for your help even if I seem to annoy you... if it's bothersome for you to help people, don't help them!

      I have been helping users with Office since 2001, so that's tens of thousands of responses. I created a website that answers most questions about Word and PowerPoint, which has been operating for free since 2004.
      So, it would be better to keep such thoughts to yourself and avoid making unfounded assumptions that only involve you.

      Perhaps you don't appreciate an answer that tells the truth. Personally, when someone says "I want", I don't particularly like it either. It's the theory of "I want to press the button and have it done automatically" and therefore "you just need to create that button for me"!

      One last thing: this is a help forum. Personally, I don't need assistance with office software; you do.
