Table of contents - missing level
I'm using Word 2003 and I have two problems. First - I can't work out why my
table of contents is not showing Heading 1 level. It shows in the dialog box, but when the TOC is inserted, no heading 1. Second - when it shows in the dialog box, it the page nr is not right-aligned nor has any dot leader, like the other levels do. Heading 1 in the doc wraps onto a 2nd line in some cases. I've tried putting in a right-aligned tab with dot leader in the Modify TOC1 box, but it makes no difference. Lisa |

Table of contents - missing level
Solved this one myself - there was a rogue TOC 2 style already at the place I
was inserting the TOC. When I deleted it, Heading 1 behaved properly. Lisa "Hebe" wrote: I'm using Word 2003 and I have two problems.

Table of contents - missing level
In answer to the second question, add a right indent to your TOC styles
(leaving the right-aligned tab at the margin) so that the titles will wrap well short of the page numbers. For more, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm -- Suzanne S.

Table of contents - missing level
Thanks, that has worked for me before, but it's not doing that this time. My
original problem has returned. The preview shows Heading 1, without right-alinging the page number and without leader dots. The preview also shows another level which should not be in the TOC, but which does not actually appear in the generated TOC. The generated TOC includes only Headings 2 and 3. I think this additional level which appears above Heading 1 in the preview is what is making it all misbehave, but I can't fix it. Any clues? Thanks Lisa "Suzanne S.

Table of contents - missing level
Some types of formatting added to the TOC can cause it to lose the right
alignment of the page numbers. This is also discussed in http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm. You'll usually have to hand-edit the TOC field when this happens. It helps to understand what the various field switches do so you can see which one is causing the problem; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TOCSwitches.htm -- Suzanne S.
