Create Table of Contents with Hyperlinks in Google Docs

google docs

Is there a way to create a table of contents in Google Docs like you would in a wiki?

I have huge documents with many sections. I currently use block quotes to separate those sections and keep things in perspective.

However, it would be nice to have some tag that I can give to titles and then those tags appear as a table of contents at the top. That way I can easily browse though different things.

Any thoughts, plugins or CSS to do this?

You can create a table of Contents in Google Docs;

  1. Add headings to your document by clicking Format > Paragraph styles in the toolbar, and selecting a heading.
  2. Click Table of contents from the Insert menu. The table of contents appears wherever you've clicked in the document, so make sure you place your cursor where you want to add the table of contents. If you need to move the table of contents, select it as you would select text and either move it with your cursor or cut it and paste it.
  3. You can continue to add headings to your document or change current headings. However, if you'd like a change to become part of the table of contents, you need to click first the table and then the Update now button.
  4. Each item in your table of contents links to the titled sections of your document that use the heading styles (that you added in step 1 above).
