Manual Table of Contents
On the References Tab, in the Table of Contents area, I have chosen the
Manual Table. The table is now in my document and I have replaced the contents with my documents information, but I can't figure out how to get more than two sets of levels. How can I add further entries? |

Manual Table of Contents
Display the field code. It will say \o "1-2"; you need to change this to \o
"1-3". -- Suzanne S.

Manual Table of Contents
Suzanne:
What is a field code and where is it found? I have 16 level 1 entries - should I change it to \o "1-16"? And what about my level 2 and 3 entries. Thanks for your help, Dharma |

Manual Table of Contents
To display the field code, select the table of contents and press Shift+F9.
You should then see { TOC \o "1-2"}. If want you want is to include the third level of your headings, replace the 2 with a 3. However if what you are saying is that only the first 2 of your 16 "Level 1" headings are being displayed in the table of contents, then either: 1. The table of contents needs to be updated - Use Shift+F9 to toggle off the display of the field codes and use F9 to update the table of contents. 2. The remainder of the "Level 1" headings are not formatted with the Heading 1 style. The numbers in the { TOC } field refer to the number of heading levels that are to be included in the table of contents, NOT the number of instances of each level. -- Hope this helps.

Manual Table of Contents
Doug:
Yup! This is the problem: However if what you are saying is that only the first 2 of your 16 "Level 1" headings are being displayed in the table of contents, then either: 1. The table of contents needs to be updated - Use Shift+F9 to toggle off the display of the field codes and use F9 to update the table of contents. 2. The remainder of the "Level 1" headings are not formatted with the Heading 1 style. All of my headings are properly formatted as either Heading 1, Heading 2, or Heading 3. I have been trying Shift+F9, but absolutely nothing happens. If I hit the !Update Table button I get the message "The current document does not contain a Table of Contents field that can be updated automatically. To insert one, click the Table of Contents button on the Referencces tab. If you filled out a table manually, you must updadt it manually." Since I chose the Manual Table from the Built-in TOC menu, I need to do it manually, but I can't add to what is automatically inserted into my document. If I go to the end of the last line (after the page number) and hit enter, I just end up adding normal text with no leaders, page number, etc. (if I try adding my own leader or tabbing over to insert level 2 data, nothing lines up). Thanks for any help you can offer. Dharma |

Manual Table of Contents
I take it the manual TOC is a new feature of Word 2007 that I am not
familiar with? It sounds like an idiotic idea. I would suggest inserting a *real* TOC field that can be updated. -- Suzanne S.

Answer: Manual Table of Contents
Hey there! I'd be happy to help you with that.
To add more levels to your manual table of contents, you'll need to modify the styles of the headings in your document. Here's how:
That's it! Your manual table of contents should now include all of the levels you need. Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.
