The realization of automatically adding directories requires the "style" function in Word. Open the Word software, and you can see the style bar in the top function bar:

As shown above, the titles 1, 2 and 3 are the most commonly used styles, which correspond to the first, second and third titles in the paper respectively. If the title has been linked to the multilevel list in the template, when writing the text of the paper, set the hierarchical title of the paper directly with the above style, and finally insert the table of contents in the table of contents page after the full text is completed.

For example, at the beginning, you need to enter the title of the first chapter of the paper. You can type it first:

Then stop the cursor in this line, click "Title 1" in the style bar, and it will appear:

The title of the first chapter has been decided. After that, you can enter "the research background of the paper" in the next line, and then click "Title 2" to find:

The first two titles are set. On the function bar, click View-Navigation Window. After checking, you can see the hierarchical structure of the paper on the left side of the interface.

After completing the full text in this order, place the cursor where you want to add the directory, and then click Reference-Directory-Custom Directory:

In this interface, we can change the format of the directory (font, line spacing, etc.). ) according to actual needs. Click "Modify" in the lower right corner:

In this interface, we can modify the parameters of the directory content. Generally, we only need to display the first three titles, and we can modify TOC 1~TOC3 as needed. Click Modify to adjust parameters such as fonts and paragraphs, and then click OK to insert the table of contents.

Some templates may also set an outline level for big titles such as paper titles and abstracts, so that these contents that don't need to be displayed in the table of contents will appear every time the table of contents is updated. If yes, you can find the title, abstract and other titles, then right-click the corresponding style in the style bar to modify it, click the format paragraph in the lower left corner, and change the outline level to "body", so that it will not continue to be displayed in the directory.

After setting the directory, you can update it at any time. You can right-click in the directory area and select "Update Domain" to update the page number or update the entire directory as needed.

2. Automatically add directories

2. 1 Add footnotes to each picture.

The directory after the directory will show the serial number, name and page number of each picture. You need to use the "Add Title" function here, for example:

(1) Insert a picture first, and then click (select) the picture;

(2) In the function bar, click "Reference-Insert Title":

Note here that the default prefix tag of Word may not have "Figure". Click New Label to customize it. If you need a drawing number with a chapter number, click "Number" and check "Include Chapter Number".

Then click OK, there will be a caption below the picture, and then enter the name:

Note here that if the paper requires both Chinese and English subtitles, it is best to insert English subtitles first and then Chinese subtitles, so that Chinese subtitles will be displayed above English subtitles.

Also, when setting the automatic numbering of the titles of 1, 2 and 3, it is best to set the title of 1 as Arabic numerals (even if the title of the chapter is required to be capitalized in the paper, such as "Chapter 1"), because if it is set as Chinese characters, the caption will be displayed as "Figure 2-1" when inserted.

Of course, if the title of 1 level is set to Arabic numerals, then theoretically the title display effect of the first chapter should be:

What about this? Simple, select the numbers respectively, and then right-click "Font":

Just hide it, it won't occupy characters after hiding, and it won't affect the display effect such as "center". It will not be printed, and only the complete first-level title will be seen in the navigation bar.

2.2 Add Directory

After adding all the pictures, you can add the table of contents. Place the cursor on the table of contents page and click "Reference-Insert Table of Contents":

Select the title label as "Figure", click OK to add the directory. If you need to modify the text format of the table of contents, click Modify to set it.

After the directory is added, you can update the directory at any time if there are pictures added or deleted.

3. Automatically add table records

The setting method of table records is basically the same as that of directories, and smart friends should have thought of it. First, add a title to each table (note that the title is set at the top of the table). If there are subtitles in both Chinese and English, you can add Chinese first and then English (contrary to the steps in the catalogue), so that the effect of display is that Chinese subtitles are at the top of English.

Finally, when adding a table record, just select the title label as "Table" (you may not have this label at first, but you can create a new one).

4. Automatic numbering and updating of references

There are two main ways to add references:

(1) On the reference page, set automatic numbering items, such as square brackets ("[1], [2] ..."), then set all the documents to be added, and finally position each document to the specified position of the text by means of "cross-reference". If you need to set it to superscript, you can use the shortcut key "Ctrl Shift =".

(2) Add footnotes. Personally, after I tried, I found that adding footnotes is very unfriendly to the application of graduation thesis templates ... Because the template format needs to be modified, the overall format may be chaotic during the period ... So I personally suggest that if the template is applied, add references in the form of 1.

Both methods support automatic updating of reference numbers, making it very convenient to add or delete documents.
