All you have to do is make sure that you use a heading style and then click
anywhere on the TOC and click F9. -- Carol A. Bratt, MCP "Fungazi" wrote: How do I add new headings to an existing Table of Contents? |

Thanks, I have tried that and it says update entire table or update page
numbers. However, there is nothing to update because no new headings have been added. I need to add the new headings before I can update.

Adding to Table of Contents?
When you want to add a heading, just go to where you want to add the text in
your document and use a heading style and then when you update your TOC it will appear. If you need more help, post back here. -- Carol A.

Adding to Table of Contents?
I want to add a new heading to my table that corresponds to new information
under a separate heading in the document. You are saying that I put the cursor underneath the last heading under the table of documents then use a heading style? I can't see how to use a heading style.

Ok, I see what you mean now. I have to re-type the heading text in the
document with that heading style and then update. Thanks for your help.

"John McGhie [MVP - Word and Word Macinto" wrote: Hi Fungazi: You shouldn't be "re"-typing the heading anywhere. What Carol is suggesting is that you simply enter the heading text in the body of your document in the correct place. Carol also mentioned that you need to ensure that you format the heading with a style whose name begins with "Heading". It's that style that causes the TOC generator to import the heading to the TOC. After that, it will automatically be added to the Table of Contents when you update the TOC. Cheers On 16/3/06 5:59 AM, in article , "Fungazi" wrote: Ok, I see what you mean now.

Carol,
Along the same lines here, my TOC only allows for headers 1, 2 and 3. I have updated and unhidden header 4 then set the style on a header thereby using it in my document. How do I now get the updater to recognize that I have a header4 in my document and subsequently update the TOC?

Never mind, found answer in another persons post. But for others that may
view this and say, how did he do it: I pressed Alt-F9 and say the command sequence to be {TOC \o "1-3" \h \z \u} and changed the 1-3 to be 1-4 and then pressed Alt-F9 again. I then right clicked on the table and updated the entire table then the new headers appeared. "Harry" wrote: Carol, Along the same lines here, my TOC only allows for headers 1, 2 and 3.
