Problems with table of contents in word!
I am trying to write the table of contents for my dissertation, but when I try to use the Insert-Index-Table of Contents thing, as the tutorial describes, I get this error every time, regardless of how much I try and manipulate my text. Error! No table of contents entries found. I don't understand what would be causing this. Any ideas? It works when I type in gibberish, but when I type in my table of contents information, it gets me everytime. Thanks |

Do you have heading styles in your document? Or have you set the Table of
Contents Options to pick up the styles you're using for headings? See http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html -- Suzanne S.

I do have heading styles in my document. And the table of contents options
are supposed to pick them up. I also tried following the whole tutorial you presented, to no avail. It still has the same error. I will keep tinkering with it, in hopes it will respond. Thank you for your help though. Jonyla "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Do you have heading styles in your document?

Are your headings in text boxes, by any chance? Word can't see text in text
boxes. If you have a legitimate need to wrap the headings, convert the text boxes to frames. -- Suzanne S.
