The method of word automatically generating directory

   Before, when I added a directory to my graduation thesis , If you add it manually, it will take time and effort , After modifying the article, you have to manually update the directory , Once you look away, you may get the page number logo wrong , It will appear that your article is not up to standard , I will be punished by my tutor ……… And automatic addition is more convenient , Not only can you indent correctly , It can also automatically update the directory （ Including page numbers and contents ）, The following is a record of the principle and method of automatic directory generation , And some small problems encountered in the process of use bug：

1. The principle of automatically adding directories ： The automatically generated directory is based on your content Outline level Displayed on the directory , and Outline level Is in The paragraph It's set inside , The content set as body text is not displayed in the directory , Set to 1 The display of level is the highest ,2 Step back and indent a little , And so on ：
   
2. It is recommended to set various formats required by this document in the style library before writing , For example, chapter title 、 First level section title 、 Secondary section title 、 Figure and table questions 、 Text 、 Abstracts and so on , As shown below , Right click the style you want to modify and select modify Then modify the specific content according to your own needs , Finally, click OK to save （ For example, you can modify the font 、 Paragraphs and so on ）：
   
   
3. After changing the style library , Choose different formats according to different contents , Before writing each paragraph , First choose which style of the style library is used in this paragraph , Then write , The content written will be completely in accordance with the previous settings , In this way, when it is finally revised , There is no need to change it paragraph by paragraph , Directly change the format in the style library , All content that conforms to this style will be modified .
4. Before directory generation , You can open it first Navigation window See if the directory structure is correct （ If it doesn't open Navigation window You can refer to my blog ：Word Open directory navigation 、 How to display articles in multi page view ）：
   
5. Move the cursor to the place where the directory needs to be generated , Click on quote Click on Directory drop-down button choice Auto catalog 1 perhaps Auto catalog 2：
   
6. You can see that the directory has been automatically inserted , Then according to their own needs , Modify it slightly （ For example, change the word directory to center 、 black ）：
   
   
7. If you update the content of the article , You can put the cursor inside the directory , Click on Update the catalog , Then choose as needed Just update page numbers or Update the entire directory You can complete the update of the directory ：
   
   
8. Another one bug, In some cases, you will find that the directory you automatically generate does not display completely , For example, I have 1.1.1.1, But the catalogue only shows me 1.1.1：
   
9. It's useless for you to update the directory at this time , Because what is set in the directory is to display only to the outline level 3 The content of , The modification method is , Click on quote 、 Directory drop-down button 、 choice Custom Catalog ：
   
10. Put the Display level Change to the format set in your style library Outline level The maximum of , For example, the biggest one here is 4, Just change it to 4, Then click OK , Click Yes again , You can find that the section title that was not originally displayed in the directory has been successfully displayed ：
