"Alright. The next page is going to be your table of contents. That's exactly what it is. It's a table of contents. What will be found in this report and where can it be found. Now, you have a couple of options. It depends on the report itself. You are going to include headings in your table of contents. This could be a heading right here, Roman numeral one, sales. Now we are going to talk about sales in page four. So, you definitely want to give heading and page numbers regardless, that has to be in your table of contents. Depending on how your report is laid out, how much information there is, and how the headings divide up into subheadings will be how you write your table of contents. If all of the information in your report could fall under a major heading then that's all you need to do. First would be sales, then research then funding, but it's possible that within these categories there are subcategories and if that's the case then you want to break your table of contents down even further. Then it would look something like this sales would start on page four, but we're going to talk about last year’s sales on page six, the last five years on page nine and the upcoming year on page twelve. So, you just have to take a look at your headings and your subheadings and see what’s the best way to break it down. That's the information along with the page numbers that you need on your table of contents."
