ADDING A TABLE OF CONTENT TO A PREPARED DOCUMENT   

I truly tried to follow the directions to add a table of content to my 
document.  However, as I went to References + add text in Table of Contents, 
level 1, or whichever is applicable at the time, it changes my format.  Ok so 
I go forward to Insert index  and enter ok as the template is ok.  Then I get 
no information.

Is anyone available that can help me through this as I am a student and 
really need some help.

Re: ADDING A TABLE OF CONTENT TO A PREPARED DOCUMENT   

Which format changes as you insert the table of contents? If you are 
referring to the TOC entries, note that you can control their appearance by 
modifying the TOC styles (TOC 1 for level 1, TOC 2 for level 2, and so on). 
Also note that if your headings contain direct font formatting, that will be 
reflected in the TOC. For more on TOC creation, see 
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html. For more advanced 
tricks, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm.

Note that in order for an index to display in your document, you must mark 
index entries; this is a manual task which you can do via the Mark Index 
Entry dialog box (press Alt+Shift+X). When you are done, update the index 
field.
