Getting Started with Word Animation Tutorial 107: Creating a Table of authorities

A table of authorities is primarily used to create a list of reference content, such as cases, regulations, and regulations, in a legal class document. A table of authorities and an index are very similar, but it can categorize the contents of the tag, and the index can only be arranged using phonetic or stroke. A table of authorities can be compiled by following these steps:
