Thank you so so much! You’ve really helped me with my thesis table of contents. I was finding so hard to create but watching your video really helped me to figure it out. Continue with the good work bcuz you’re impacting all of us students!!!

[@user-dz9zu3hv9f]

I absolutely love the way you take your time to teach every detail. You have literally saved me time in ways you could only imagine. Time is something you can't ever get back. For this, I'm thankful.

[@ellahsworld2720]

Thank you for helping my Daddy do his project report. It looks neat and tidy. He is so proud of himself now and he cant stop saying how you helped him. Kudos.

[@user-zy3ig8sm9d]

Thank you SO much for this video! Two years working on my MPA and I had NO idea what was involved in a "simple" Table of Contents. You really spelled out the steps in an easy to understand way!

[@jennabenna42]

Your demonstration saved me SO much time. I've spent hours wrestling with tables of contents in the past because I didn't know which buttons to push. Thank you so much!

[@geretyl]

I watched at least 4 videos on KZbin about this and yours was the best to help me reformat the Headings, etc. to match my text (center, bold, font, line spacing, etc.), AND tell me each step along the way. Well done and THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

[@elainepangle1472]

You ROCK! I've been suffering in silence, but then I came upon your video! Thank you SO much!!

[@juliemerrill6026]

Thank you! Your video is fantastic, well thought out and so helpful- you made fixing all the issues that came up for me working with Word so easy to understand and I finally got my Table of Contents working & formatted APA style!

[@H.pylori]

I have always had difficulty with the TOC. This is undoubtedly the best video on TOC generation. Especially helpful was showing the pitfalls and how to resolve them. Now I feel that even an average person like me can do this. Year 2022. THANK YOU! Thumbs up!

[@erikmandel7166]

All I can say is THANK YOU! Not just for this video but your others as well, wish I found you before my last 2 classes!

[@jasminemack8260]

By far the most simple yet thorough instructions given on youtube for APA 7th Edition format. Thank you! Keep sharing great content.

[@smartstudent_official]

Great! I'm glad you found this helpful. Thanks for your support!

[@malikaguruge5344]

This video was a lifesaver!! Thank you so much for making this video and explaining the steps thoroughly, covering all the important parts. Please do a video on how to create the List of tables and figures next.

[@glennam.jenkins1957]

This video is really helpful; it’s detailed, concise, and not fast paced so you can follow it without getting lost or frustrated.

[@kellysmall2492]

This is gold!! So glad I found this! Thank you so much!

[@here4serenity]

My professor (She has her doctorate) states that the abstract comes before the table of contents. But I am so grateful for you fantastic demonstration.

[@kristopherlauro4327]

I'm currently doing my dissertation, I was advised the same thing. Abstract before table of contents. However, APA rules change frequently it seems. Maybe when she made this video, this was not the rule.

[@nicolemclaughlin9858]

All I can say is WOW WOW. This is the most detailed tutorial I have ever seen. I love the clear concise info. Thank you for taking the time to make this video... it has been a great help. Where were you when I went to College, I definitely could have used this info... Thanks again

[@patriciapedana3365]

Thank you for an outstanding video with clear and easy steps - you're a life saver!

[@trangbarger3393]

Thank you so much for this video! Was trying to figure out how to use the table of contents and also did it manually.

[@daveterry7892]

You did a great job on this video. I had no clue how to create a table of content and after watching your video it was not only easy, but I learned a new tool. It was fun to have you walk us through it. I really liked that you thought ahead to find the stumbling blocks and addressed them in advance. Thanks, this was very helpful.

[@sempercool16]

i have gone back to this video more time than i care to admit. thank you again.

[@kishaowens3431]

I know this video is 2 years old, it has helped me so much right now for a paper for my MBA classes. Thank you!

[@Drabz]

Thanks for the videos! I'm submitting my dissertation today and your formatting advice has been very helpful

[@LittleTree74]

Thank You!! This was exactly what I needed to clean up my paper!

[@swatisemwal457]

Thank you so much for making this video !!! It is videos like these that make life simpler and us smarter !!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@jacquelinehernandez1123]

This video helped me and saved me last minutes formatting. I really appreciate your video.

[@Lena-me3nu]

You just saved me so much time for my bachelors thesis. Thank you so much!

[@katherinejarvis4463]

Thank you, Smart Student!! This video is clear, concise, and significantly helpful!

[@user-xk9pf9iv9s]

Wow !!! this is the best explanation!! I watched a few videos before and was totally confused this video went step by step thank you sooo much!

[@DasLenny]

Thanks a lot for the video! To make your life a tad more easy: If you change the TOC ! to TOC 3 styles (instead of manually editing the text), updating the table will not change the format. To do so, Go to Home > Display the styles pane, and modify those three styles. You might have to select "Styles in use" after inserting the TOC to get those styles displayed.

[@liligilberto5304]

Thank you so very much! This video has helped me so much with my capstone table of contents. You are amazing!

[@AngelaBolden-hz1xy]

You're explanation of how to create a TOC is splendid!

[@mrpawan5603]

One of the best videos, I have ever come across. Thank you.

[@lorinlevins9316]

Very informative and easy to follow. Thank you so much!

[@tonyortizartavia2290]

Thank you so much!!! I’ve been looking for a video like this and this is the first one I could really understand very clear, you explained everything so nice!!🤩 unless I’m a Spanish speaker it was really easy to understand this✨

[@alexcjoechez7881]

Thank you, it is so detailed and fantastic. you helped me a lot. XOXO

[@chanelle5939]

Thank you so much, my professor instructed that we use a table of contents for our coursework, but did not show us how. Your video summed this up nicely for me! So thanks!

[@aimankassir1404]

You're absolutely brilliant, thank you.

[@veronicaoguilve9707]

You saved my life!!! Thank you!!!

[@castellanos.alejandro]

I would like to add that you actually can avoid formatting your table of contents each time you update it. Just create a personalized table of contents instead of choosing the classic one. Once you do and the pop-up window appears, click on the modify button in the right bottom corner. There, you will be able to format each heading level for the table of contents. Sorry for my poor english. I hope this was useful!

[@amyconger]

Yes, agreed! Just as there are heading styles you can format, there are TOC style that you can format. If you're editing a long paper, it's totally worth it to edit the TOC1, TOC2, etc. styles the first time you build the TOC. (The video is incorrect in stating this functionality doesn't exist.)

[@kedric8026]

I wish I could give a new thumbs/like for every time I've seen this video! Great content, very well explained, and these videos are a go-to for anyone working on college-level work.

[@annflanagan7044]

Well explained. Just did mine thanks 😊

[@brittneydennis342]

Thank you sooo much!!!

[@user-lp9fw9ob7o]

Thank you so much for this step by step explanation. I now know that I had only done the first step creating my tables, and now I now how to format them. This how to is not included in the APA 7 manual so nicely referenced by my professors. Now maybe I can get something for feedback then your tables are all wrong please review APA 7. Google search and this video pops up and in minutes I can now see that I don't have to redo my tables, just format them. Why my professors couldn't say take the table you have and change borders, not sure. You have saved me hours and mean that I get to sleep tonight. THANK YOU

[@Spitfireseven]

I agree with the previous comment. You do a pretty good job of covering the way things really go down with this program. I've done this before and the sterile explanation is crap. This was good. It didn't cover the other weirdities of this application but it covered the strange idea that you change the table of contents it changes the whole document. How rediculous. Thankyou for this video!!

[@timotewostessema1221]

Thank you very much, Sister. really it helped me!

[@lorrainemcbride]

Thank you so much for this video!

[@carolynbonareri.2526]

Asanti sana🙏🇰🇪 for the longest time now, I have been really wanting to know this...be blessed

[@allison4580]

Thank you so much!!

[@andrewradford736]

This was another very informative video. I was going insane just a few weeks ago trying to update a table of contents and was frustrated when my formatting would change seemingly at random. Now I at least understand why. MS Word is a life long learning opportunity.

[@smartstudent_official]

Yes! It happens to many students and it's extremely frustrating if you don't understand what's happening.

[@burkej34]

Fantastic video, thank you!

[@johnathanreaves9555]

Thank you!

[@ogbenibenedictta9397]

Your videos are so helpful. Thank you

[@joeman123964]

100% transparency. the most frustrating part about being a college student is knowing the fact at least 60%-75% of the classes you take literally have squat to do with your actual major and more to do with profiting off of you with overpriced calculators, textbooks, and time. turning what should be a $5,000-$10,000 degree into a $25,000-$60,000 degree you get to pay off over the next decade after you graduate.

[@yousefibrahim8862]

Life saver!

[@hellenn.m.1427]

Thank you!!!

[@bu_muawiyah]

one problem. when you reformatted the entire table of contents at the end of the video the pages numbers changed again since your toc moved the content down so you would have to update thepage numbers again.

[@Fox-in-sox]

Very helpful. Thanks.

[@shanthini3979]

You're the Best 😭👍

[@philemonaddoadote290]
