TOC
The default Table of Contents is built from the text in the paragraphs in
the document to which the styles Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3 are applied. You will get the error that you mention, if there are no paragraphs in the document to which those styles are applied. You can however also construction a table of contents by the use of TC fields, which is what you will need to do if you are not using the Heading styles. -- Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP Please reply only to the newsgroups unless you wish to obtain my services on a paid professional basis.

TOC
You can also build a TOC based on any styles that you have consistently used
for headings. But if this is Word 2003 or earlier, the TOC will not pick up headings in text boxes. -- Suzanne S.
