COURSE TEXT

Imagine that you're working on a book, and you want a separate TOC for each chapter of the book. On this occasion, you'll need more advanced TOCs than you learned about in the first TOC course.

Your book will also need a table of figures. Other reference tables, such as tables of authorities or figures, are created in a process similar, but not identical, to that used for a TOC.

To learn more about this course, read the overview in the center of this page or the table of contents in the left column. Then click Next to start the first lesson.

If you don't know how to create basic TOCs and format them, start with the course Table of Contents I: Create a basic TOC.
