Default Weird TOC Problem: pictures appearing in TOC

If you use the built in heading styles (heading 1, 2, etc), they will come
out in levels in your TOC automatically. There is an alternate way to 'code'
the text but I haven't done it in ages. You have more control with manual
coding since you can force text other than the section heading to appear in
the TOC entry in addition to telling it what level you want - but you have to
manually code each one. Probably someone with more experience than myself can
give you more info if the Help screens are not clear.

Okay, since you seem to know about such things, how do I get the settings to
take when I tell it what I want in the TOC? I went to:
Insert, Reference, Index and Tables. Selected the TOC tab. Clicked the
Options button.
But when I put a "1" in the box next to "Chapter Title" and a "2" next to
"Heading 1" it doesn't STAY like that. I clicked "OK" and then clicked it
again in the "Indexes and Tables" box. Isn't that what you do to get it to
stay like that? Why isn't it taking? What do I do? Help?
Thanks!

This happened when I was teaching a Word class. To fix one a TOC that has
already been created, go into: Insert, Reference, Index and Tables. Select
the TOC tab. Click the Options button. You should see a style called graphic.
Take the 1 out of the box next to it. Exit out and F9 the TOC. The graphics
should go away.

TOCs are generated using styles. You obviously have selected a picture and
applied a style to it, or pasted a picture in front of a paragraph return to
which a style is applied. I always create styles for my graphics, and so
could you. See:
http://www.officearticles.com/word/c...osoft_word.htm
Then, apply the style to all your graphics (you can use the style dropdown
for the first one, then hit the F4 key after you select each new graphic).
Update your TOC and you'll be good to go. If you don't want a style for your
graphics, then apply the normal style or some other style that won't appear
in your TOC (usually Heading styles).

Hi,
I've created a document from a template (don't ask me which one, it was a
while ago, I've just been adding and updating for a long time), and when I
go
to update the Table of Contents, some of the pictures I've imported into
the
document have shown up in the TOC. What in the world's going on? How do
I
fix it?
I'm guessing that somewhere along the line the coding got mixed up and
instead of the header that was supposed to be in the TOC, the coding got
put
in front of/around the picture, but I don't know how to fix it. Anyone?
Please? Help?
Thanks!
