Table of Contents Template and Guide

Introduction.

Did you get tasked to create a table of contents and have no idea how to do it? If that is the case, you have arrived at the right place.

Today we will show you how to create a table of contents, but that’s not all. We will also present a table of contents template that you can edit and modify to meet your requirements.

What is a Table of Contents?

A table of contents (TOC) is an official document that provides the reader with the contents and depth of a book.

The template will feature a brief description of the first-level headers and it will make it easier for the reader to understand the book.

The TOC is a reader’s guide and therefore, it needs to list the elements in chronological order. With that said, you can check out the table of contents template below to see what it looks like. Keep in mind that you can edit it with your book’s content.
