Option Explicit

Sub Create_TableOfContents()

'Check is workbook is protected

If ActiveWorkbook.ProtectStructure = True Or ActiveWorkbook.ProtectWindows = True Then
MsgBox "Workbook is protected. Please unprotect it first", vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If

Dim sh As Worksheet
Set sh = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add(before:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1))

sh.Range("A1").Value = "Table of Contents"
sh.Range("A2").Value = "S.No."
sh.Range("B2").Value = "Worksheet"

Dim lr As Integer

Dim i As Integer

For i = 2 To ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
If ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Visible = xlSheetVisible Then
lr = sh.Range("A" & Application.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
sh.Range("A" & lr + 1).Value = lr - 1
sh.Range("B" & lr + 1).Value = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(i).Name
sh.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=sh.Range("B" & lr + 1), Address:="", SubAddress:="'" & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(i).Name & "'!A1", ScreenTip:="Click to go to " & ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(i).Name, TextToDisplay:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(i).Name
End If
Next i

ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False

sh.Range("A:A").ColumnWidth = 7
sh.Range("B:B").ColumnWidth = 30

With sh.Range("A1:B1")
.Merge
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
.Font.Size = 12
.Font.Bold = True
End With

With sh.Range("A2:B" & i)
.HorizontalAlignment = xlLeft
.VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
.Font.Size = 9
End With
