When properly executed, inserting page numbers into a Word table of contents is straightforward but numerous users encounter erratic spacing or absent page indicators. 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 Word uses them to generate the table of contents automatically. If you’ve applied custom formatting or manual text styling the table of contents will not recognize those sections correctly, leading to missing entries or mismatched page references.

After ensuring all headings use the correct styles place your cursor where you want the table of contents to appear, typically near the beginning of the document after the title page or ketik abstract. 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. Word automatically populates the TOC with headings and accurate page references according to the document’s layout.

If you’ve made changes to your document after inserting the table of contents—such as restructuring paragraphs or chapters—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: Refresh Page Numbers or Update Entire Table. If your edits were limited to body text with no heading modifications choose Update Page Numbers Only. If you changed heading names, levels, or section order select Update Entire Table to ensure all entries remain accurate.

To customize how page numbers appear you can modify the table of contents style. Once the TOC is placed, click the small icon in the top-right corner labeled "Table of Contents Options". Clicking this opens a dialog box where you can adjust which heading levels are included and how they are formatted. You can also change the tab leader style which controls the visual bridge between section titles and their corresponding page numbers. For a more professional appearance choose the dot leader option which is the norm in academic and business reports.

Never enter page numbers by hand in your TOC because doing so defeats the purpose of using Word’s automated system and risks inconsistencies when pages shift. Trust Word’s built-in TOC engine. When your front matter uses Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, etc.) make sure your the body text begins numbering at "1" with Arabic numerals. A section break must precede the first chapter and configuring the page number reset to "1" via the Header & Footer Design options.

Always double-check your TOC prior to finalizing or distributing your file—check that no headings are missing, that page references match the printed layout, and that the formatting is consistent throughout. If anything appears off update the table one more time and confirm that all headings retain their assigned Word styles. By following these steps you’ll create a precise, professional, and automatically synchronized contents list that boosts clarity and trustworthiness of your work.
