Table of Contents - Entire Paragraph Displayed
After making adjustments to a lease document that was "inherited" from a law
firm (Word 97-2002) I wanted to update the page numbers in the existing table of contents. When I did so, Word told me a TOC does not exist. Although I can start fresh and insert a new TOC, I routinely get the entire paragraph in the table of contents rather than just the headers and the page numbers. The hidden TOC fields show only the header - not the entire paragraph. I've never had this problem with Word before. What switch am I missing? Deleting prior hidden codes and starting over has not solved the problem. Advice? |

I suspect that the TOC is picking up heading styles rather than TC fields.
In the TOC Options dialog, make sure that "Table entry fields" is checked and "Styles" is not (or at least that the numbers are removed from the styles in question). -- Suzanne S.
