Creating a Table of Contents in Wordperfect 8
The Table of Contents ("TOC") includes the component
parts of the document that follow it, and the page on which each
begins. The TOC includes the point and sub-point headings from the
Argument section. Each of these points should be in the same format
(all caps, initial caps, bold, etc.) that is in the Argument section
itself. However, check with your Legal Writing professor to determine
their requirements.
The component parts of the brief (question Presented, Statement
of the Case, Argument, etc.) should appear in initial caps in the
TOC, with capitalization being determined pursuant to Rule 8 of
the Bluebook.
CREATING A TOC IN WORDPERFECT 8.0 INVOLVES THREE TASKS:
- Mark text to include in the TOC.
- Define and Generate the TOC.
TO MARK TEXT FOR A TABLE OF CONTENTS:
- Click on Tools, Reference, Table of Contents from the menubar.
- The Table of Contents menu bar will appear as shown below.
- Select the word or phrase you want to include as a TOC entry.
- Click Mark X, where X is the level you want for the entry.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each entry you want to mark.
TO DEFINE AND GENERATE TOC:
- Click where you want to generate the TOC.
- If you have not closed the TOC menubar, click Define. If you
have closed the TOC menubar, click Tools->Reference->Table
of Contents, and then Define. The Define Table of Contents dialogue
box will appear as below.
- Specify the Number of Levels (from 1 to 5) you want in the TOC.
- Specify a position for the page numbers for each level of the
TOC, then click OK.
- Click Generate.
REMEMBER:
- You need to mark the text before you can generate a TOC.
- To customize page number appearance, use Page Numbering. This
is useful when you have different numbering for different sections
of the brief (roman numerals v. Arabic numbers).
