To build a TOC based on custom styles, you must explicitly select them in
the Options dialog unless you have assigned outline levels to the styles.

Charles,

I am recreating the TOC using
INSERT
STYLES ( I am using custom styles head 1 head 2 and head 3)
and DELETE current TOC (but now there isn't a current TOC)

WORD is not keeping my styles assignments. It used to??

I have just tried copying part of doc to new doc and create TOC for the
partial doc. It works????
