Task 3: Table of contents
1. Open the Word document presentingdocuments.doc from the r:\training.dir\Word\long_docs folder. This document contains a number of headings which you are going to use to generate a table of contents.

Insert another table of contents to replace this one, and this time use the Modify option to prevent it from displaying the title style.

Task 4: Updating table of contents
One of the powerful aspects of automatic features such as tables of contents is that they can automatically update when the document changes. The following will illustrate this.

Task 5: Cross referencing
In this task we will work with the presentingdocuments.doc file again.

The resulting text should read:
A clear layout can emphasise the content of an essay or report (Figure 1).
