(CONT...) Use A Custom Style To Annotate A Word TOC

Map the new style

With the new style in place, you are ready to map that style to the TOC. Doing so is simple, but the process might be unfamiliar to you.

1. Click the References tab and choose Custom Table of Contents.

2. In the resulting dialog, click Options. Currently, three styles are mapped to the TOC (figure 4). Heading 1 is the first level , Heading 2 is the second level, and Heading 3 is the third level.

3. To add a fourth level, scroll down until you expose the TOC Summary style and enter the value 4 (figure 5).

4. Click OK twice and then click Yes to confirm the TOC update. Figure 6 shows the new TOC with the summary statement.

At this point, you could apply the TOC Summary style to more text, but you do not have to. Once the two above steps are completed, you can add and remove annotated text at any time.
