Represents a table of contents in a Word document.

Extends

Remarks

[ API set: WordApi BETA (PREVIEW ONLY) ]

Properties

additionalHeadingStyles

Gets the additional styles used for the table of contents. The default "Heading 1" - "Heading 9" styles aren't included in this collection.

areBuiltInHeadingStylesUsed

Specifies whether built-in heading styles are used for the table of contents.

areFieldsUsed

Specifies whether Table of Contents Entry (TC) fields are included in the table of contents.

areHyperlinksUsedOnWeb

Specifies whether entries in the table of contents should be formatted as hyperlinks when publishing to the web.

arePageNumbersHiddenOnWeb

Specifies whether the page numbers in the table of contents should be hidden when publishing to the web.

arePageNumbersIncluded

Specifies whether page numbers are included in the table of contents.

arePageNumbersRightAligned

Specifies whether page numbers are aligned with the right margin in the table of contents.

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

lowerHeadingLevel

Specifies the ending heading level for the table of contents. Must be a value from 1 to 9 and greater than upperHeadingLevel.

range

Gets the portion of a document that is this table of contents.

tabLeader

Specifies the character between entries and their page numbers in the table of contents.

tableId

Specifies a one-letter identifier from TC fields that's used for the table of contents.

upperHeadingLevel

Specifies the starting heading level for the table of contents. Must be a value from 1 to 9 and smaller than lowerHeadingLevel.

Methods

delete()

Deletes this table of contents.

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

set(properties, options)

Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.

set(properties)

Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original Word.TableOfContents object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Word.Interfaces.TableOfContentsData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.

track()

Track the object for automatic adjustment based on surrounding changes in the document. This call is a shorthand for context.trackedObjects.add(thisObject). If you're using this object across .sync calls and outside the sequential execution of a ".run" batch, and get an "InvalidObjectPath" error when setting a property or invoking a method on the object, you need to add the object to the tracked object collection when the object was first created. If this object is part of a collection, you should also track the parent collection.

untrack()

Release the memory associated with this object, if it has previously been tracked. This call is shorthand for context.trackedObjects.remove(thisObject). Having many tracked objects slows down the host application, so please remember to free any objects you add, once you're done using them. You'll need to call context.sync() before the memory release takes effect.

updatePageNumbers()

Updates the entire table of contents.
