This includes suggested questions to answer, template help and general tips.\nTable of Contents, Sections and Headings\nIf you want to add a new section so that the Table of Contents updates automatically, just add a new heading in the body of the document and assign it the Heading 1 or Heading 2 style.\nTo update the Table of Contents, go to the References tab and within the Table of Contents button group, click on Update Table and then \"Update entire table.\"\nFinancial Tables, Charts and the Companion Excel Workbook\nEdit and customize the various financial tables provided in the companion Excel workbook and then paste them into this document. This allows you to take advantage of the calculations that Excel will do automatically. The sample tables and charts you see in this document have all been created this way.\nPasting tables from Excel to Word: Use Copy/Paste to copy a table from Excel to Word. This will typically paste the data as a formatted and editable table in Word, though none of the formulas will be functional within Word (and the table will not be linked to Excel). If you don't want the table to be editable in Word, you can \"Paste as a Picture\" using Paste Special or by choosing the \"Picture\" option when you right-click in the document to paste the table.\nPasting charts from Excel to Word: When you paste a chart object into your business plan, make sure to \"Paste as a Picture\" because pasting the chart as an embedded object means that the entire spreadsheet becomes embedded in your Word document (even though what you see is only the chart).\nFigure Titles and Captions\nParagraph styles have been created for making it easy to put a title or caption on the figures you include in this template (charts, tables, pictures, etc.). They are called Figure Title and Figure Caption and can be found in the Home tab Styles section.\n\u000f\nOther related templates\nBusiness Startup Costs Template\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/business-startup-costs.html\" \u0014https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/business-startup-costs.html\u0015\nSales Forecast Template\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/sales-forecast.html\" \u0014https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/sales-forecast.html\u0015\nProfit and Loss Projection Template\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/profit-and-loss.html\" \u0014https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/profit-and-loss.html\u0015\nBalance Sheet Template\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/balance-sheet.html\" \u0014https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/balance-sheet.html\u0015\nCash Flow Statement Template\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/cash-flow-statement.html\" \u0014https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/cash-flow-statement.html\u0015\nBusiness Budget Template\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/business-budget.html\" \u0014https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/business-budget.html\u0015\nBreak Even Analysis Template\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/breakeven-analysis.html\" \u0014https://www.vertex42.com/ExcelTemplates/breakeven-analysis.html\u0015\nTemplate Usage\nBy Vertex42.com\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.vertex42.com/WordTemplates/business-plan.html\" \u0014https://www.vertex42.com/WordTemplates/business-plan.html\u0015\nBusiness Plan Template © 2016 Vertex42 LLC\nThis template, including all associated content is a copyrighted work under the United States and other copyright laws.
