Word 2007 TOC includes all body text when including Level 4
Hi
I've outlined a technical document and I've used up to level 4 when outlining headings and topics. I've checked in the Outlining view that I've only included exactly what I need up to level 4 and anything else (including blank lines etc) are set as body text. If I insert the TOC and include to level 3 everything is fine, the table displays just fine. If I then remove the table and insert a new one specifying that I wish to include down to level 4 the TOC inserts ALL body text in the document into the table. Like I said, I've switched to outlining view and gone through the entire doc to make sure I've got it neat. I've filtered by level 4 and it shows exactly what I'm after in the TOC, expect when I actually add a TOC to level 4 it completely ignores my input and stuffs all the text classed as "body text" into it. Kinda frustrating me as there seems to be nothing wrong with my outlining. Anyone? |

The style that you are noticing may not have an Outline Level assigned but it
probably has a TOC level assigned. Check within the Table of Contents Options dialog for the style you don't want in the TOC and remove the "4" from the box. -- Hope this helps DeanH "Dimebag" wrote: Hi I've outlined a technical document and I've used up to level 4 when outlining headings and topics.

Word 2007 TOC includes all body text when including Level 4
Hey thanks for the reply, it seems to have sorted the issue.
For some reason there was a 4 under "Level 1" underneath the section where all the headings were listed. I still don't see why this included all body text as TOC level 4 but there we go. Cheers again. Paul "DeanH" wrote: The style that you are noticing may not have an Outline Level assigned but it probably has a TOC level assigned.
