How to Create Dynamic TOC in WPS Writer | Build Auto-Updating Contents | Generate Professional Table of Contents Easily > 자유게시판

Creating a dynamic contents list in WPS Writer is a effortless process that enhances the professionalism and readability of comprehensive theses. Unlike non-updating lists, a auto-updating table of contents automatically updates whenever you adjust chapter names, pagination, or content organization, thereby minimizing errors and maintaining precision.

To get started, confirm that your document is logically formatted using standard heading formats. Select each subheading you wish to add in the table of contents and set the matching heading level from the Style menu—use Heading 1 for major divisions, Level 2 Heading for secondary sections, and so forth. Avoid ad-hoc formatting text with bold, increased font size, or custom colors, as these will not be recognized by the table of contents generator.

Once all headings are properly applied, insert your cursor at the desired location where you want the table of contents to appear—usually near the start of the document. Access the References section on the top menu, then click on the Table of Contents button. From the options panel, select one of the built-in formats, such as Automatic Table 1 or Automatic Table 2.

WPS Writer will then scan your document for formatted titles and produce a cleanly designed table that displays the headings alongside their corresponding page numbers. After insertion, the table is dynamically tied to your document’s structure. When you later introduce, remove, or modify headings, simply secondary-click on the table of contents and choose Update Table. You can then choose to update page references or update the entire table to incorporate all structural changes.

Remember that exclusively text formatted with native heading formats will show up in the table. Manually created styles or directly styled content will be excluded unless you define them as heading styles via the Manage Styles option. Additionally, you can personalize the design of the table by modifying the linked style definitions or by using the TOC Settings panel to limit which hierarchy depths are displayed.

This level of control makes WPS Writer’s dynamic table of contents a highly effective solution for handling large-scale reports effectively. Be sure to update the table before finalizing your document to maintain completeness and ensure full consistency.
