When properly executed, inserting page numbers into a Word table of contents is straightforward but a common issue is misaligned or entirely missing page references. To ensure your table of contents displays page numbers accurately and professionally, follow these steps. Begin by applying Word’s standardized heading styles—Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.—to all your section titles because the TOC relies entirely on these predefined heading levels. Should you have bypassed Word’s heading system and styled text manually the table of contents will not recognize those sections correctly, leading to missing entries or mismatched page references.

When your document’s structure is accurately tagged with heading styles place your cursor where you want the table of contents to appear, commonly inserted following the front matter like the preface or acknowledgments. Navigate to the References tab on the Ribbon, and click on Contents List. Choose one of the automatic styles—like Built-in Table 1 or Table 2—depending on your preferred layout. The system dynamically creates a full TOC, linking each heading to its precise page number.

After modifying content following TOC creation—such as inserting new sections or removing existing ones—you must update the table to reflect those changes. Click the right mouse button on the TOC and choose Update Field. You’ll be given two options: Update Only Page Numbers or Update All Content. When only paragraphs were altered but headings remain unchanged choose Update Pagination Only. If you changed heading names, levels, or section order select Update Entire Table to ensure all entries remain accurate.

To adjust the visual presentation of page numbers you can modify the table of contents style. After insertion, locate and select the TOC settings button in the upper-right region. Clicking this opens a dialog box where you can adjust which heading levels are included and how they are formatted. You can also modify the connecting symbol which controls the dots or lines that connect entries to their page numbers. For a sleek and polished design choose the dot-style connector which is standard in most professional documents.

Never enter page numbers by hand in your TOC because doing so defeats the purpose of using Word’s automated system and may result in outdated or incorrect references. Let Word handle pagination dynamically. If your document has preliminary sections—like a preface or abstract—numbered in Roman numerals make sure your the body text begins numbering at "1" with Arabic numerals. A section break must precede the first chapter and setting the page number to start at 1 under the Header & Footer Tools Design tab.

Always double-check your TOC prior to finalizing or distributing your file—check that all sections appear in the TOC, that the page numbers correspond correctly to the actual location of each section, and that the formatting is consistent throughout. If formatting seems irregular update the table one more time and verify that no heading was accidentally reformatted. By following these steps you’ll create a reliable, polished, and self-updating TOC that enhances the readability and ketik credibility of your document.
