TOC not updating and headers are properly applied
I'm having difficulties getting all the headers to properly update in my TOC.
All content has the same header 3 formatting (I've even renamed the header 3 style, so that I can easily verify they are all formatted the same way. Suggestions? Thanks! |

First, make sure you're TOC is set up to display three outline levels:
Go Insert Reference Index & Tables TOC tab At the lower right corner of the dialog box, be sure the "Show levels" field is 3 or higher. If that does not work, it may be because you are using a Style that is not associated with an outline level. Did you make your style based on default Heading 3 style? A third possibility is that you need to select your custom style to be represented in the TOC: Go Insert Reference Index & Tables TOC tab Click the "Options" button at the lower right corner, scroll down until you see your custom Style, then add the TOC number to its corresponding field. -Hans "Shana" wrote: I'm having difficulties getting all the headers to properly update in my TOC.

Is your "header 3" style built-in or custom? Does it have an outline
level defined (Paragraph dialog box)? What field code displays for the table of contents if you press Alt+F9? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Shana" wrote in message ...

The header 3 style is built-in. There are just a few different header 3
styles in the document, and I wanted to easily know that a specific one was being used, so I renamed one "Heading 3 [my tag]" for ease. Field code is: { TOC \o "1-3" \h \z \u } Thanks, Shana "Stefan Blom" wrote: Is your "header 3" style built-in or custom? Does it have an outline level defined (Paragraph dialog box)?

I don't understand this. In what way are the "styles" different? If you are saying that the text paragraphs (to which the style is applied) include direct formatting (that is, formatting not in style) and this reflected in the TOC, then this is normal behavior in Word. If, for some reason, you need the format to be different in the text, create a separate style for those paragraphs; if this style has an outline level defined it will be included in the TOC. Or are you saying that some paragraphs are not "seen" by the TOC? Make sure that they are not inside a text box, header, or footer. Field code is: { TOC \o "1-3" \h \z \u } The field code looks fine; it should include all styles with an outline level defined (which the built-in headings have by default). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP Thanks, Shana "Stefan Blom" wrote: Is your "header 3" style built-in or custom?
