Create and update an index
An index lists the terms and topics that are discussed in a document, along with the pages that they appear on. To create an index, you mark the index entries by providing the name of the main entry and the cross-reference in your document, and then you build the index.
You can create an index entry for an individual word, phrase, or symbol, for a topic that spans a range of pages, or that refers to another entry, such as "Transportation. See Bicycles." When you select text and mark it as an index entry, Word adds a special XE (Index Entry) field that includes the marked main entry and any cross-reference information that you choose to include.
After you mark all the index entries, you choose an index design and build the finished index. Word collects the index entries, sorts them alphabetically, references their page numbers, finds and removes duplicate entries from the same page, and displays the index in the document.
Mark the entries
These steps show you how to mark words or phrases for your index, but you can also Mark index entries for text that spans a range of pages.
Select the text you’d like to use as an index entry, or just click where you want to insert the entry.
You can add a second-level in the Subentry box. If you need a third level, follow the subentry text with a colon.
To create a cross-reference to another entry, select Cross-reference under Options , and then type the text for the other entry in the box.
To format the page numbers that will appear in the index, select the Bold check box or Italic check box below Page number format .
Select Mark to mark the index entry. To mark this text everywhere it shows up in the document, select Mark All .
To mark additional index entries, select the text, selectin the Mark Index Entry dialog box, and then repeat steps 3 and 4.
Create the index
After you mark the entries, you’re ready to insert the index into your document.
Click where you want to add the index.
You can change the overall look of the index by choosing from the Formats dropdown menu. A preview is displayed in the window to the top left.
Select OK .
Edit or format an index entry and update the index
If you mark more entries after creating your index, you’ll need to update the index to see them.
Find the XE field for the entry that you want to change, for example, { XE "Callisto" \t " See Moons" } .
To edit or format an index entry, change the text inside the quotation marks.
To update the index, click the index, and then press F9. Or go to References > Update Index.
If you find an error in the index, locate the index entry that you want to change, make the change, and then update the index.
Delete an index entry and update the index
Select the entire index entry field, including the braces ( {} ), and then press DELETE.
To update the index, click the index, and then press F9. Or go to References > Update Index .

How to Create an APA Table of Contents | Format & Examples
Published on November 5, 2020 by Jack Caulfield . Revised on January 17, 2024.
A table of contents is not required in an APA Style paper , but if you include one, follow these guidelines:
- Include all level 1 and level 2 headings (other levels are optional).
- Indicate different heading levels with indents. Adhere to general APA format in terms of font, spacing, etc.
You can automatically create the table of contents by applying APA heading styles in Word.

Table of contents
Apa format guidelines for the table of contents, how to generate a table of contents in word.
In a thesis or dissertation , the table of contents comes between your abstract and your introduction . It should be written in the same font and size as the rest of your text (usually 12 pt Times New Roman). At the top of the page, write Contents , centered and in bold.
In APA Style, you can use up to five levels of heading , each with its own formatting style. In the table of contents, you should include all level 1 and 2 headings, left-aligned and formatted as plain text. Level 2 headings are indented.
Including lower-level headings in the table of contents is optional. Add an additional indent for each level. If you have a lot of headings in your text, you may not be able to include them all—your table of contents should not be more than two pages long in total.
Prevent plagiarism. Run a free check.
To automatically generate a table of contents in Word, you’ll first have to apply heading styles throughout your text. After that, you can generate the table of contents.
Applying heading styles
First, go through your text making sure that each level of heading is in keeping with APA Style rules.
Next, update the heading styles listed in the Home tab at the top:
- Highlight a level 1 heading
- Right-click the Heading 1 style and select Update Heading 1 to match selection
- Do the same for each level of heading
Once you’ve done this you can update any other headings quickly using the heading styles. Make sure all headings are in the appropriate style before proceeding.
Generating the table of contents
Now you can generate your table of contents. First write the title “Contents” (in the style of a level 1 heading). Then place your cursor two lines below this and go to the References tab.
Click on Table of Contents and select Custom Table of Contents… In the popup window, select how many levels of heading you wish to include (at least two) under Show levels , then click OK :
Updating your table of contents
Now you have a table of contents based on your current headings and page numbers. If you continue working on your text after this, be sure to go back and update your table of contents at the end, as headings and page numbers might change.
You can do this by right-clicking on the table of contents and selecting Update Field . Then you can choose whether to update all information or just the page numbers. It’s best to update everything, just to be sure.

How to Write an Index

An index is an alphabetical list of keywords contained in the text of a book or other lengthy writing project. It includes pointers to where those keywords or concepts are mentioned in the book—typically page numbers, but sometimes footnote numbers, chapters, or sections. The index can be found at the end of the work, and makes a longer nonfiction work more accessible for readers, since they can turn directly to the information they need. Typically you'll start indexing after you've completed the main writing and research. [1] X Research source
Preparing Your Index
- Typically, if you index from a hard copy you'll have to transfer your work to a digital file. If the work is particularly long, try to work straight from the computer so you can skip this extra step.
- If footnotes or endnotes are merely source citations, they don't need to be included in the index.
- Generally, you don't need to index glossaries, bibliographies, acknowledgements, or illustrative items such as charts and graphs.
- If you're not sure whether something should be indexed, ask yourself if it contributes something substantial to the text. If it doesn't, it typically doesn't need to be indexed.
- In most cases, if you have a "works cited" section appearing at the end of your text you won't need to index authors. You would still include their names in the general index, however, if you discussed them in the text rather than simply citing their work.
- For example, if you're writing a book on bicycle maintenance, you might have index cards for "gears," "wheels," and "chain."
- Put yourself in your reader's shoes, and ask yourself why they would pick up your book and what information they would likely be looking for. Chapter or section headings can help guide you as well.
- For example, a dessert cookbook that included several types of ice cream might have one entry for "ice cream," followed by subentries for "strawberry," "chocolate," and "vanilla."
- Treat proper nouns as a single unit. For example, "United States Senate" and "United States House of Representatives" would be separate entries, rather than subentries under the entry "United States."
- Stick to nouns and brief phrases for subentries, avoiding any unnecessary words.
- For example, suppose you are writing a book about comic books that discusses Wonder Woman's influence on the feminist movement. You might include a subentry under "Wonder Woman" that says "influence on feminism."
- For example, if you were writing a dessert cookbook, you might have entries for "ice cream" and "sorbet." Since these frozen treats are similar, they would make good cross references of each other.
Formatting Entries and Subentries
- The style guide provides specifics for you in terms of spacing, alignment, and punctuation of your entries and subentries.
- For example, an entry in the index of a political science book might read: "capitalism: 21st century, 164; American free trade, 112; backlash against, 654; expansion of, 42; Russia, 7; and television, 3; treaties, 87."
- If an entry contains no subentries, simply follow the entry with a comma and list the page numbers.
- People's names typically are listed alphabetically by their last name. Put a comma after the last name and add the person's first name.
- Noun phrases typically are inverted. For example, "adjusting-height saddle" would be listed in an index as "saddle, adjusting-height." [8] X Research source
- Avoid repeating words in the entry in the subentries. If several subentries repeat the same word, add it as a separate entry, with a cross reference back to the original entry. For example, in a dessert cookbook you might have entries for "ice cream, flavors" and "ice cream, toppings."
- Subentries typically are listed alphabetically as well. If subentry terms have symbols, hyphens, slashes, or numbers, you can usually ignore them.
- If a proper name, such as the name of a book or song, includes a word such as "a" or "the" at the beginning of the title, you can either omit it or include it after a comma ("Importance of Being Earnest, The"). Check your style guide for the proper rule that applies to your index, and be consistent.
- When listing a series of pages, if the first page number is 1-99 or a multiple of 100, you also use all of the digits. For example, "ice cream: vanilla, 100-109."
- For other numbers, you generally only have to list the digits that changed for subsequent page numbers. For example, "ice cream: vanilla, 112-18."
- Use the word passim if references are scattered over a range of pages. For example, "ice cream: vanilla, 45-68 passim . Only use this if there are a large number of references within that range of pages.
- Place a period after the last page number in the entry, then type See also in italics, with the word "see" capitalized. Then include the name of the similar entry you want to use.
- For example, an entry in an index for a dessert cookbook might contain the following entry: "ice cream: chocolate, 4, 17, 24; strawberry, 9, 37; vanilla, 18, 25, 32-35. See also sorbet."
- For example, a beginning cyclist may be looking in a manual for "tire patches," which are called "boots" in cycling terms. If you're writing a bicycle manual aimed at beginners, you might include a "see" cross reference: "tire patches, see boots."
Editing Your Index
- You'll also want to search for related terms, especially if you talk about a general concept in the text without necessarily mentioning it by name.
- If you have any entries that are too complex or that might confuse your readers, you might want to simplify them or add a cross reference.
- For example, a bicycle maintenance text might discuss "derailleurs," but a novice would more likely look for terms such as "gearshift" or "shifter" and might not recognize that term.
- For example, you might include an entry in a dessert cookbook index that read "ice cream, varieties of: chocolate, 54; strawberry, 55; vanilla, 32, 37, 56. See also sorbet."
- Generally, an entry should occur on two or three page numbers. If it's only found in one place, you may not need to include it at all. If you decide it is necessary, see if you can include it as a subentry under a different entry.
- For example, suppose you are indexing a dessert cookbook, and it has ice cream on two pages and sorbet on one page. You might consider putting these together under a larger heading, such as "frozen treats."
- You may want to run searches again to make sure the index is comprehensive and includes as many pointers as possible to help guide your readers.
- Make sure any cross references match the exact wording of the entry or entries they reference.
- Indexes are typically set in 2 columns, using a smaller font than that used in the main text. Entries begin on the first space of the line, with the subsequent lines of the same entry indented.
Expert Q&A
- If creating an index seems like too large of a task for you to complete on your own by the publisher's deadline, you may be able to hire a professional indexer to do the work for you. Look for someone who has some knowledge and understanding about the subject matter of your work. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0
- Make the index as clear and simple as you can. Readers don't like looking through a messy, hard-to-read index. Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0
- If you're using a word processing app that has an indexing function, avoid relying on it too much. It will index all of the words in your text, which will be less than helpful to readers. [15] X Research source Thanks Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0
