It took me a while to figure this out and I thought I should write it down and put it online to help others who might be looking for how to do this and also to help me in the future in case I forget how to do the same thing. I am writing a Hermeneutics book and need to send an outline of the book to a mentor. It’s easy to send the Table of Contents as an outline if I can remove the numbers. Also, when publishing an ebook, page numbers are not needed. Removing page numbers would be an easy way to create the Table of Contents for an ebook.
- Step 1: Select the table of Contents
- Step 2: Go to the Insert menu at the top of the screen.
- Scroll down and click on Index and Tables.
- Select the Table of Contents tab in the dialog box that opens.
- Uncheck “Show Page Numbers“. This will remove your page number.
- If you want to also remove hyperlinks, uncheck “Use Hyperlinks Instead of Page Numbers.” If you are writing an ebook, I think you need to keep this so that people can click on your TOC and go to your chapters.
That’s it.
