It would be better to use a First Page Header that didn't have the StyleRef
field, just FYI. A title in the body would be more noticeable anyhow, I
would think.

Instructions here, if you want them:

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for that, I ended up using STYLEREF which worked well. To get over
the problem of having two titles on the first page of the section (the title
in the body plus the styleref title in the header) I made the title in the
body a style that had white text (i.e. invisible) and a very small text size
(didn't take up much vertical space). Not sure if this is the proper way of
doing things but I achieved the effect I needed.

Thanks for your comprehensive and accurate reply.
Brian.

No, Word cannot "see" headings in headers and footers for the purpose
of TOC creation. There are two possibilites he

1. You can add a frame around each paragraph that you want in the
header area, and drag the frame into that area. (To add a frame around
text, just select it and click the Insert Frame button on the Forms
toolbar.) Word will see these paragraphs for TOC purposes, but they
won't actually be in the header area; in fact, each paragraph will
*cover* more or less of the header area.

2. Alternatively, keep all headings in the main body of your doucment
and then use a STYLEREF field in the header to have the current
heading of a specific level displayed there.

I have headers that contain text styled as "Header 1". When I

insert a Word
Table of Contents (TOC) I expected this header text to be collected

as a TOC
entry but it is not. Only "Header 1" text from the main body of the

document
makes it to the TOC.
Is there a way for Word to include text from Headers and Footers in

the TOC?
I am using Word 2003.
