Defining Table of Contents for DOCX output

You can define a location within a text flow where you want a table of contents to be inserted in the DOCX output. The text flow can be either a Story or a Text area. The table of contents is based on a template that you can define in StoryTeller.

Note:

The paragraphs you want to be included in the table of contents must be included in a Story and have Outline level set to Level 1 or higher in the Properties panel Paragraph properties.

2	In the Stories view, right-click in the Story where you want to insert the table of contents and select Insert > Table of Contents for DOCX.
