Table of Contents on Word 2003
In older versions of Word, I was able to add options to the table of
contents. In my documents, I want to show the Appendix in the table of contents. In the past, I used style Heading 7 to be the level 1-like heading for the appendix. Thus, by changing the style definition of Heading 7, I could make it look like heading 1 and then add it to the table of contents using the options. However, I tried that with a document I am working on, and no matter what I do, heading 7 is not showing up in the table of contents. Is this a new feature in Word 2003 that is overwriting my changes? When I look at the Field Codes text, it looks like it is saving my changes, but when I update the table, it is not showing up. Any Help would be appreciated. Thank you. |

Have you tried changing the TOC Options under Insert, Reference, Index and
Tables, Options. Scroll down to Heading 7 and enter 1 in the TOC Level, OK and OK. Refresh table and cross fingers.

Yes, I tried that--several times. I deleted, refreshed, etc. But it did not
fix it. Thanks. KBahr "DeanH" wrote: Have you tried changing the TOC Options under Insert, Reference, Index and Tables, Options. Scroll down to Heading 7 and enter 1 in the TOC Level, OK and OK.

Since you can't change the outline level of Word's built-in heading styles,
you may have to clear the check box for "Outline levels." Another alternative is to make TOC 7 look like TOC 1. -- Suzanne S.
