But how do you make it list it as a prologue in the table of contents?

You mean not show up as chapter 1? If you're using the book class, or something similar, use

Code: Select all

\frontmatter
\chapter{Prologue}
...
\mainmatter
\chapter{Chapter 1}
...
\backmatter
<bibliographies, indexes, etc.>

In the book class when you make the table of contents they label it 1. name 2.name so on and so forth. So how do i make it Prologue. name 1.name so on and so forth?

It doesn't get a number if it's in the \frontmatter section. If you're asking how to change more than that, look at the titlesec package.
