Add a table of contents. Creating an active table of contents for your ebook is a very useful feature that you could add, and richer readers will certainly appreciate. This enables the readers to have an overview of what to expect and where to find them in your ebook. Look at the table of contents of these two books that we've taken as examples in the previous lectures. This table of contents are from their book previews available in Amazon when you check their books. By reading them, you know exactly what you're getting.

When you purchase these books. There's no guessing. Readers love it. When they see what they're about to read. It enables them to jump right into that page where they want to go Word documents software or Google Docs makes this task very easy. Let me show you.

You only need to use the heading one tag for each of your chapter titles or headings. I am using a sample document from public domain called How to write clearly. Let's use this to demonstrate to you how to create a table of contents using Google Docs. As I was saying, to use the heading one tag in Google Docs, what we're going to do is to identify the chapters and book sections and tag it with heading one. Let's start I will highlight prefix Go to paragraph styles and click on heading one. Now we're looking for the next book chapter.

Footnotes format, paragraph style, heading one. By the way, if you have the next part of your book chapters like a sub chapter or a subtopic, you can tag them with Heading Two, heading three as appropriate to what you're doing. For now I will click on Apply heading one contents form Paragraph Style apply heading one index of rules. Format paragraph styles, heading one and I can use this clearness and force as heading two order words in a sentence brevity I hope you see where I'm going at. Now, let's add the Table of Contents after tagging the titles with heading one tag. Let's add it here.

Let's put a page break and let's insert table of contents. I will choose this option. Now you see, Google Docs automatically generated the Table of Contents after we added the heading tags in case you need to change something for example, better The I think this should be a heading two tag we can do so. Let's go there, page 11 so what we need to do is format paragraphs style heading to apply heading to. Now that we change it let's go back to our table of contents, click somewhere and click the Refresh button. It says update table of contents and look.

It changed it into a Heading Two. This is what you need to do if you would have added or deleted Some pages it will be reflected in your table of contents without you doing it manually. It's really a good feature so make sure to use it. And an additional tip is to make sure to create a page break after each chapter so that it starts in the new page. This makes your ebook look neat and organized in Amazon Kindle. That's all for this lecture.
