Summary

This article describes how to create table of contents (TOC) entries that contain no page number so that the entries don’t affect the numbering of the rest of the entries.

This article assumes that you understand how to create a table of contents in Microsoft Word. For more information about how to create a table of contents, see the following articles:

When you add page numbers to a Microsoft Word document, you usually begin with the number '1' starting the first page. However, if you've combined all elements of a document into one file, you may need to re-start numbering in the middle of the file itself. Double click on a page number to change the font, color, or style. If you want a specific font on your page number, simply double click it. It should be highlighted in blue, like any other text you would highlight on Word. From there, simply adjust the font, color, and size normally.

The following example shows table of contents entries that contain no page numbers. You can use the following method to prevent table of contents entries from having the same page number.

Note

In Word, hold down the CTRL key, and then select a table of contents entry to move to that page in the document. This works for both numbered and unnumbered TOC entries.

1. In your document, create a table of contents, or use an existing table.

2. Position the cursor at the location within the document where you want to put the TOC.

3. Select the References tab.

   In the Table of Contents group, select Table of Contents, and then select Custom Table of Contents from the list. Notice that the Print Preview display (Figure A) doesn't display Heading 4 (the style that we used for the annotations). This feature defaults to three levels, Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3.

4. To add the annotations to the TOC, select Options. In the dialog box that opens, enter 4 in the TOC level control to the right of Heading 4, and then select OK (see Figure B).

   Note

   Although you might consider removing levels 2 and 3 because Heading 2 and Heading 3 are in use, we recommend that you keep them because you might want to add them later, and not remember why the TOC doesn't update to show those levels.

   Figure B

   Add a level for the annotations.

5. Clear the Show page numbers check box (Figure C). Before you do this, notice that the preview now displays Heading 4.

   Note

   Disabling page numbering disables it for the entire TOC.

6. Select OK to return to the document.

   Note

   Figure D shows the resulting TOC. All page numbers are gone. However, we want to remove the page number for only the annotation level. The default TOC doesn't include the annotations (Heading 4 text).
