Advantages: Using WORD to automatically generate the table of contents according to the chapters of the article is not only fast, but also convenient for reading and searching the table of contents. Just hold down Ctrl and click a chapter in the table of contents to jump directly to the page. More importantly, it is convenient for later revision, because the finished article will inevitably be revised, added or deleted many times. If you label the table of contents by hand, it will be a headache to change the contents in the middle and the page numbers at the back. The table of contents that should be generated automatically, you can modify the content of the article at will, and finally update the table of contents to re-correspond the table of contents to the corresponding page number.

2. The column "Style Format" appears on the right, mainly using the titles 1, 2 and 3. Title 1, title 2 and title 3 are applied to the titles of all chapters in the main text respectively. For example, we need to use the title 1 to define "Chapter 1 Introduction to Refrigeration". And "1. 1 development history of refrigeration technology" is defined by heading 2. If there is 1. 1. 1 ×××, it is defined by heading 3.

Similarly, define1.1with headings 2 and 3; 1. 1. 1; By analogy, the second and third chapters are also defined in this way until the end of the full text.
