TOC starts behaving strangely
Hi,
I have a TOC field which is defined as follows: TOC \o "1-5" \h \z \u It used to work fine (this is in a very long document) and would display the first 5 headings, but now it has started to display some of the figure captions and subheadings, even though the formatting for these has not been touched and are unchanged. This seems to occur on both Office XP and 2003 Does anyone have any suggestions as the cause and solution? Many thanks, Jonathan Stratford |

Hi, Jonathan. I have NEVER seen this happen. I can only suggest that you
double-check the styles on these captions, figures, and subheadings again to make sure they do NOT use Headings 1 through 5. ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Jonathan Stratford" wrote in message ...

Check the figure captions and subheadings in question to make sure the
paragraphs haven't acquired an outline level of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. -- Suzanne S.

I have checked them, and they exactly as they should be, NOT using headings
1-5. Any suggestions? Many thanks, Jonathan Stratford "Suzanne S.

I didn't say that they were Heading 1-5. I said check the outline level: go
to Format | Paragraph, look in the top right corner, and make sure that the outline level is Body Text. Alternatively, open the Options in the TOC dialog and make sure that there is not a number (1-5) beside the styles being used for the captions. -- Suzanne S.
