Ans – Table of Contents, allows to insert an automated table of contents in a
document. The entries or contents of this table are automatically taken from the

in the table. So, by clicking on any topic in the table of contents, we can navigate
directly to the selected topic.

selected in the Type tab of Table of Contents, Index or Bibliography dialog box?

then the contents of ToC can be changed directly on the document page, just like
any other text on the document.
