hi buttercup
You want to create table of contents, right?
You can make your table of contents by using the Insert Table function in Word
So you will have 3 columns.
The smallest (left) is for the number in sequence of what you want to put (Acknowledgements, then the chapters)
The middle one is the title of the chapter (following that is the sections and subsections), you can do line by line.
The right one is for you to fill up the pagenumbers.
so for roman numeral you can type i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, vii, viii, ix, x..etc.
if you are still not sure PM me I will make you a short sample
