Default Getting my Headings into the TOC

Hello Diane

I have defined a hierarchy of heading-styles with outline numbering. I would
like them to show up in my Table Of Contents - but when I try to create one,
I get the following:

"Error! No table of contents entries found."

How do I make these entries in my styles?


the easiest way is to not create your own heading styles, but adjust the
formatting of the built-in Heading 1...Heading 9 styles and use these.

Failing that, the second easy approach is to make sure that each of your
heading styles has an appropriate outline level. This is a paragraph
property, and when you create a new paragraph style, it's set to
"Bodytext" by default. [The built-in Heading styles are each hard-wired
to their respective outline level there, btw.] That way, a default TOC
will pick the first three levels up automatically.

Finally, you can of course adjust your TOC field to include any
paragraph style you like, at whatever TOC level. [You can also do this
in the Insert TOC dialog.]
