wps document needs to generate a directory, but the generated directory not only appears the original title directory, but also appears the body content, want to delete, but do not know how to operate? See below for details

When using wps, we often need to generate a table of contents to make it easier for readers to view the structure and content of the article. However, sometimes when the directory is generated, the contents of the body also appear in the directory, which can be confusing and annoying.

In fact, the reason for this situation is that when Word generates a directory, it will default to adding some text from the body to the directory. Specifically, Word determines which text should appear in the table of contents based on certain formats or styles, such as heading 1, heading 2, and so on. If we use these formats or styles in the body of the text, the text is automatically added to the table of contents.

To prevent this from happening, we can exclude a particular format or style from the directory when it is used. To do this, select the "Catalog" button under the "References" TAB in Word, then select the "Custom Catalog" option. In the dialog box that pops up, we can select styles or formats to include in the directory, or styles or formats to exclude from the directory. This way, we can ensure that only the text that needs to be in the directory is automatically added to the directory.

Problem description:

When using WPS to automatically generate a directory, there are three levels of headings, but only one level of headings is displayed in the directory:

Or, the content of the text is displayed in the directory:

solution

Method 1: Adjust the title format

Enter the corresponding title position in the body, set the secondary title as title 2, and the tertiary title as title 3:

And so on with the other titles, the final result is as follows:

The second and third level titles are displayed in the directory, and the font and size of the title in the body can be adjusted as needed:

Method 2: Adjust the text format

Similar to the formatting of the title, adjust the text content displayed in the directory to "text" :

The adjusted directory is as follows:

Method 3: Update the entire directory

First, use wps to open the document that needs to be edited and see what content in the generated directory is redundant, as shown in the following figure;

Then, go back to the body, find where the excess content is located, select the content, click the right mouse button, enter the "paragraph" setting;

  • Tag: wps text directory title
