Great video with nice and clear instructions, but it's hard to visualize how to apply this when creating a ToC to a document of say 10 or 20 pages. I find many people (myself included) create their document first, and then decide they want to go back and create a ToC. A video on how to do that would be highly useful if you're ever so inclined to create one. Thanks for sharing this though :)

Regards, Andrew
