keep the camera on the screen please. the lady is great, but we don't need to see her talking. I want to see where she clicking.

keep the camera on the screen that makes tutorial much better.

Keep camera on the screen, it's frustrating popping back and forth

But how do you edit the table? I have a Chapter heading, then the name of the chapter both identified on a page. For example, The line is Chapter One pg 5, then the name of the chapter .... pg 5. I need to "just simply" combine the two on one line Chapter One: Name of chapter, .... pg 5. But if I click on the line the field sends me to the beginning of that chapter. So, "how do I edit a table of contents" is what I'm looking for an answer to. Thanks.

Its' not about about teaching others so the camera should be on the screen at all times while giving instructions.

Helpful video, but please keep the focus on the computer screen. You mention some steps, but are not showing them so we can't see what you are doing.

Why the back and forth, learners need to see the transition of what you ar talking about versus you speaking. You seem very nice but this was not as useful as it could have been.

[donshetterly]

Why would you talk about what you are seeing on a screen? Show it please!

[jineebrooks]

This tutorial would be much more helpful if the video was only on the screen. Bouncing back and forth is not helpful and we need to see where she is clicking. Watching this, is painful and irritating.

Hey that's great. Now, how can I create a 2nd and a 3rd TOC - I mean a completely separate TOC? (BTY, I'm using Word 2003.)

In my doc about weight-loss I'm creating there are three completely different sections - the Intro, the Diet section, and the Exercise section, each with their own separate TOC. When I did the Intro section everything went perfectly. (All just H1.)

But when I went to do the next (Diet) section, it did not behave like I expected.

I set the paragraph headings at H1, went back and set the cursor at the proper spot, went to of Contents and hit OK - and it went right back up the the first one I did, it was all highlighted, and asking me if I wanted to "replace the selected table of contents".

SO, what is the correct step-by-step to create that 2nd and my 3rd TOC? (In Word 2003.)

You should have kept the camera only on the screen, It just distracts the user from understanding.

[AliJaeJR]

Why does everything highlight when I click on it? I don’t want an active TOC I just want it to be as if I typed it all in. How do I do this?

[SunnyDaysRFun]

Gosh, I just wanted to delete an item in my table of contents, but no answer here. errrr.

[tommyharris]

How do I stop extra paragraphs from adding to my TOC?

[endeshawyihun]

The screen is very dark and unable to observe by anyone arrange it

[samuelomadi]

Quality video though I missed a lot when it kept on flipping. Thanks

[danielstump]

i wish i learned how to remove an entry that i didn't want in the table

[mgr]

Thank you for solving my problem. Nailed it very quickly.

How to change the format of page numbers without changing any of the written text... Of course this can be done manually but when you update the whole table of content, everything goes back to how it is set automatically.

[johnnylakis]

I was going crazy trying to figure this out. Thank you for the video!
