Hello,

To create a table of contents, I select the entire text, go to Insert / Tables and Indexes / Tables, click OK and then I get this error message:
"Error! No table of contents entry was found."

What's wrong?

Thank you,

LR

Hi
to create a table of contents, you should not select all the text at once
First, you need to specify to Word where the titles and the body of the text are.
To do this, select the chapter or paragraph title and apply the "Heading 1" style
if it's a subtitle, apply the "Heading 2" style
etc...
repeat this operation for each title and subtitle etc...

Then place the cursor where you want to insert the table of contents and do the following
Insert>References>Tables and indexes > Table of contents tab
if you need more details, just ask

A little note
this kind of question can quickly find its answer
1) either in Microsoft help, yes it does come in handy from time to time
2) or online, which is full of tutorials for this kind of questions, Google answered me in 0.28 seconds!!!! https://www.linternaute.fr/hightech/guide-high-tech/1412999-word-organiser-automatiquement-un-plan-et-une-table-des-matieres/

Good luck with your writing ^^
