How do I set up a contents page so that when I change the title of one of the contents, the header in the main body of the document automatically changes as well (or vice versa)?
I have a big document that I am currently trying to update and some of the contents headers have changed. However, I have to trawl through the document to find the header in the main body of the document and change that as well.
Thanks

Hi Katherine
Thanks for getting in touch. You can achieve this by creating a Table of Contents in Word.
There is a little bit of setup required first but it's worth it in the long run. First you need to go through your document and apply a Style to all of your headings. This should be a Heading 1 or Heading 2 style. You can find these on the Home tab.
If you have already defined the look of your headings then right-click the Heading style and choose Update Heading 1 to match selection.
Once you have tagged all your styles, go the point in the document where you would like the table of contents.
Then go to References > Table of Contents. Follow the on-screen prompts to create your TOC. When you change a heading in the document, right-click the Table of Contents and choose Update. Your table should be refreshed with the latest text.
There's a few steps here but it's well worth the effort.
Kind regards

Hi
Thanks for your reply. You should try it out on a test document first to see how it works.
I've attached a sample so you can get the idea.
