Table of Contents modifications required

Question

I tried latex code for generating toc suggested by stack exchange in response to my previous query . Still I need small modifications. In the first page of toc, At top middle “TABLE OF CONTENTS” is required and then in the second line 3 column names such as “CHAPTER NO.”, “TITLE” and “PAGE NO.” are required. In subsequent pages only the said second line particulars are required. The same applies to List of tables and List of figures.

Answer 1

Here is a modification to Table of Contents with headings on every page that adapts the solution to the three contents elements of a report:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[paperheight=30\baselineskip]{geometry}% http://ctan.org/pkg/geometry
\usepackage{tocloft}% http://ctan.org/pkg/tocloft

\newcommand{\sectionsandtablesandfigures}{

  \section{Second}

The following modifications may still be required:

• If you're using hyperref or bookmark, one should add the relevant information to the contents macros (\tableofcontents, \listoftables and \listoffigures). Currently they're not set as \chapter* the way they're used to.
• Depending on where your last floats are, it may be required to use atveryend to finalize processing of floats and obtain an accurate ToC/LoT/LoF.
• Adding the ToC/LoF/LoT to the ToC.
• Modifying the page styles (which includes the page numbering) surrounding the ToC/LoF/LoT. Easily done using fancyhdr, if need be.
• Additional indentation of sectional units beyond \subsection to line up properly. However, a base has been established up to \subsection which is easily extendible.
