Generating and updating a table of contents

Once you have marked the entries for a table of contents and defined how and where it will display, you can generate it. When you generate a table of contents, the document is searched for table of contents entry markers, and a reproduction of the information is inserted on the table of contents page in the document. When you first generate the table of contents, it is inserted where you have indicated. When you generate a table of contents, you also update it. The document is rescanned for each marked table of contents entry, all existing information is replaced, and the text is saved to the table of contents file.

When you publish a table of contents to PDF, WordPerfect numbers each marked heading or subheading sequentially. The entries display in the PDF as numbered bookmarks in the document.
