Default TOC dropping some heading levels

You're going about this correctly (as described at
http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/numb...pendixes.html). If
you've assigned outline levels 1 and 2 (TOC 1 and TOC 2) to Headings 6 and 7
in the TOC Options dialog, then your TOC field should reflect this
assignment, and this should not be affected by updating the TOC field (with
F9); it will be affected by recreating the field. See

I am working on a series of large documents with appendices. To get the
headings to number the way I wanted, I made Heading 6 the appendix title

in
the form

Appendix (X).

With its format based on my chapter level Heading 1,

And headings 7, 8, and 9 formatted into appendix versions of body headings
2, 3, and 4.



When I make a TOC with 2 levels of headings, and assign level 1 and 2 to
headings 6 and 7 manually, it forms correctly, but----if I ever do a full
update, it looses the heading 6 and 7 entries.



I thought it used to work fine this way. Any ideas on how to fix this or
alternatives to get separate appendix numbering?

Thanks,



Jim T
