At present, we basically use WPS to write papers, and the general process of writing papers is to write the content of the article first, and then deal with the content of the article. However, in practice, many users do not know how to use the automatic directory function in WPS, but manually compile it on the home page. It will be better if the paper is not revised in the future. If the content and format of the paper are adjusted, then the contents and text will not match at this time. I'm here to introduce a simple method to automatically generate a directory.

1. Open the WPS text and click Format → Style and Format.

2. Next, we need to modify the styles of "body", "title 1", "title 2" and "title 3". If your article is like "1. 1. 1.2", you should style the attributes such as "Title 4". Because the default style in WPS may not be suitable for the paper format specified by your school.

① We click the right mouse button on the "text" and the word "modify" appears. Right click on it.

② In "Modify Style", I choose Song Style as the font, Small Four as the font size, Alignment at both ends and 1.5 times line spacing as the middle box.

Once selected, we will click "Format" in the red box at the bottom.

(3) Click "Format" and a dialog box will appear. I select "Indent the first line, 2 characters" in "Special Format". Select "0" for "Before and After Paragraph". "Line spacing is set to 1.5 times line spacing". When everything is set, click OK in the lower right corner, and then return to the "Modify Style" dialog box, where we also click OK.

④ This method is also used for "Title 1", "Title 2" and "Title 3". However, it is worth noting that there will be some differences in settings. Please see the following two pictures for details.

Remember to check before "Save to template at the same time" after each of the above settings.

3. After setting, use "Title 1", "Title 2" and "Title 3" to define each chapter of the text. For example, we point the cursor to "1 introduction" and then click the title of 1 with the left mouse button on the right, and you can define it. Similarly, define 1. 1,1.1with "Title 2" and "Title 3"; And so on, until the end of the full text.

When everything is defined, we can generate the directory. Move the cursor to the blank position where you want to insert the directory at the beginning of the article, and then select Insert → Reference → Directory. Then a small window will appear, and we just need to click OK.

5. The processed products are as follows:

6. When modifying the content of the article again, you need to update the table of contents. The method is: select the whole directory, when it turns blue, right-click in the directory area, select Update Field, and then click OK in the dialog box that appears.

Insert-Delimiter-Inserts the next page of section break at the end of the first page. Activate the header first, then position the cursor on the header of the second page, click "Same as the previous section" in the header tool to break the link, return to the header of the first page, and delete the header of the first page.

The title of a three-page table can be set in the same section. If your table is at the end of the document, you can insert a continuous section break at the beginning of the first page of the table, then enter a title, break the link with the previous section, and then delete the title. If the table is in the middle of the document, you need to insert a continuous section break on the next page of the table and set the same section break.
