Default TOC dropping some heading levels

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks, J.

The problem is that custom style assignments for a TOC get discarded when
you update.

Instead of using headings 6 and 7, create new styles based on headings 1
and 2 (perhaps called Appendix 1 and 2). Then you don't need to do
anything at all. The TOC will see them them as equivalent to H1 and H2.

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,
