You can include any styles you want in the TOC by assigning levels to them
in the TOC Options dialog, but if you want the number and title as part of
the same entry, you'll have to take another approach. I usually do it the
other way around. Use the heading styles for the actual titles, Heading 1
for the top-level style (which in your case would be the Part title),
Heading 2 for the next-lower level (Chapter title), and so on. Use custom
(numbered) styles for the chapter and part numbers. Then add the numbering
to the TOC 1 and TOC 2 styles in the TOC.

I'm writing a book. The Part and Chapter pages are distinct from other
pages,
and employ complex styles. I'm having trouble getting the TOC right.

The Chapter page is like this:

---------------
1 --- The Chapter Number (Style: "H2", auto-numbered)
Introduction --- The Chapter Title (Style: "My Chapter Title Style")
to This Topic

---------------

Part Number and Title are similar ("H1", "My Part Title Style").

I inserted TOC using H1/H2/H3. Obviously, only Part/Chapter Numbers showed
up in TOC; I need the Part/Chapter Titles there as well. How to do this?
If
w/o programming, even better; if programming, how to do this?

Thanks a lot in advance!
