The TOC does not indent heading level
Using the outline view mode in Word 2007, the various levels were not
indenting properly so I would set them with a right click and "Change List Level." Why do I have to do this? And, now, when I'm trying to generate a table of contents with the automatic buttons under the Reference tab, the TOC comes into the document with no indenting of the various heading levels. |

The TOC does not indent heading level
If you are using the built-in headings, Outline view will work
properly. If not, you'd have to define the heading levels yourself (either by directly applying them to paragraphs or by defining custom styles). For the general principles of Outline view, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/UsingOLView.htm (note that the article was not written for Word 2007, though). The formatting of the TOC is determined by the TOC styles. Modify their indents as desired. See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html (again, the instructions in that article were not directly targeted at Word 2007). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "jwwegner" wrote in message ...

The TOC does not indent heading level
I am having the same problem...
In Word 2007, I created my styles and format in the TOC. I modified the TOC to indent the second heading, however, it insists on providing no indentation whatsoever. What am I doing wrong?

The TOC does not indent heading level
As we come up on MS Word's 2nd quarter-century on the market, we can only
hope that Da Boyz figure out how to make Outlining work seamlessly and without major corruption happening more often than not. The answer I received, above, was what I would expect from Word documentation. In other words, no help at all. I'm a writer that thinks in outline format as a piece is created. It is very important that outlining work well and quickly. It doesn't. But, nothing new ... I bought a copy of Word 1.0 (20-25 years ago?) and have had every upgrade since. None of them had an Outliner that worked. "bostoniata" wrote: I am having the same problem... In Word 2007, I created my styles and format in the TOC.

You're saying you added an indent to the TOC 2 style, and this indent does
not show up in the TOC? Note that changes you make in the TOC styles will not affect the headings themselves, and vice versa. -- Suzanne S.
