Keyboard Shortcuts for Table of Contents

Keyboard shortcuts for table of contents (TOC)


F9 Updates the selected TOC.

When you update your table of contents by pressing F9 or by using the Update TOC button, you have the option to either update the page numbers only or to update the entire TOC. If the page numbers for TOC entries have changed because of edits you've made to your document, you only need to update the page numbers. However, if you have added, removed, or modified the text marked as TOC entries, you need to update the entire TOC.

CTRL+SHIFT+F9 Unlinks the selected TOC.

Because your table of contents is actually a field code ({TOC} field), you can unlink your TOC to make last-minute changes to the TOC itself (for example, just before printing). However, in general, you don't want to disable the TOC from being updated.

SHIFT+F9 Switches between a selected TOC field code ({TOC}) and its result (the actual TOC.)

ALT+F9 Switches between displaying all field codes in your document (such as {TOC} and {TC}) and their results (such as your TOC).

ALT+SHIFT+O Marks a selection in your document that you want to include in your TOCs. The selected text is marked with a TC field.
