Complex documents need solid structure. Word 2013 provides a suite of tools to keep your documents organized. With a little planning, complex textual features, such as Tables of Contents, are a single click away.

You will work with files from the Word04lessons folder. Make sure that you have copied the OfficeLessons folder onto your hard drive from www.digitalclassroombooks.com/Office2013. For more information, see “Loading lesson files” in the Starting up section of this book.
