Default Table of Contents

I am tired of this kid's report. Used to have WP and I am regretting
changing big time. Finally found a post that got the glossary, but now I am
trying for the Table of Contents. Following the directions, I try
Insert-Reference- TOC - Options and select Heading 1- OK-OK. Error appears
saying that I don't have entries defined. Isn't that what I just did???
Then I go to the entries, mark them with the Alt-Sft-O and they mark fine.
Try to get the TOC to update for them-- No TOC defined. I have been around
and around with this and getting no where. Moreover, on page 11 there is a
landscape chart and the page number just stops. No more numbers. I'm not
even sure that should I get a TOC to work, if there will be any more
numbering beyond page 11. Come on now!!!! Real people have to use this
program-- not just businesses. I'm so frustrated with this program I could
scream!

It seems as if you are marking entries for inclusion in the TOC (as opposed
to using heading styles)? If so, you have to select the "Table entry fields"
option in the Table of Contents Options dialog box.

Moreover, on page 11 there is a
landscape chart and the page number just stops. No more numbers. I'm not
even sure that should I get a TOC to work, if there will be any more
numbering beyond page 11. Come on now!!!! Real people have to use this

Note that changing the page orientation requires a section break in Word.
Just re-insert the page number for the new section.

For more on headers, footers, and page numbering, see
