Thank you Suzanne. I have been searching for a long time and haven't found
information as clear and as close to my needs as this TOC Tips doc. I have
read it and now need to apply it. It really helps. I am not pleased about
the inability to change the default settings though, maybe that will change
in the future. That would be extremely helpful.
Well its back to the drawing board now. Thanks again. Very helpful!!

to change the default settings in the dialog. If you use a specific type of
TOC, you can save the TOC field as an AutoText entry.

Thank you for your help regarding the TOC formatting problem. I reviewed
the
document you sent and found it to be close to the problem but not on
target.
I am still hoping for more information.
Thank you.
The question again - hopefully more clearly - is: When working in the
Insert/reference/index and tables; in this diaglog box it offers a place
to
choose how many levels will show in the TOC selected from the styles
within
the document. Each time I choose 6 levels. Then I go into 'options' and
change the default settings to the order in which I would like them to
appear
in the TOC. Both of these tasks do not stick. After I leave this to update
the TOC and then return to now modify the appearance of each TOC level -
both
actions; the number of levels have returned to the orginal 3 instead of my
chosen 6 and the listed order in which I placed has gone back to the
orginal
default order. This is very frustrating. I am working on a template I am
trying to build for consistency for future large reports. Please help.
