I am trying to create a table of contents for a short document I am writing.
I am doing so by marking certain headings using "Alt-Shift-O", and then
going to the start of the document and creating the TOC there.

Seems to work fine, except for one entry. It concerns a page that I have
titled "Appendix 2" (There is no "Appendix 1" yet). The code entered is
{.TC."Appendix.2".\f.C.\1."1".}

The only code between this "Appendix 2" and the rest of the text is a page
break.

No matter how often I update the TOC at the beginning of the page, this
"Appendix 2" does not appear in the TOC listings. Not sure why or how to
fix this. I would like it to make it show up. Would appreciate advice.

Thanks.

Discovered my error. The missing item was formatted as Normal text instead
of Heading. Works OK now.

If you're using TC fields, it shouldn't matter what the style is, and if the
TOC is based on styles, you don't need TC fields. My guess is that you don't
have "Table entry fields" checked in the Table of Contents Option dialog,
and you're getting an ordinary TOC based on styles/outline levels. If you
actually checked the box for "Table entry fields," you'd get everything
twice. You might want to read
