Table of Contents picking up "normal" text
My table of contents is picking up the first line of my title page, which is
in "normal" style, not a "heading" style. Why is it doing this, and how can I get it to quit doing this? I am using Word 2003 on a MS Windows 2000 system. Thank you |

Table of Contents picking up "normal" text
Are you sure it is formatted with Normal style and not, say, Title or a
heading style? If you have not disabled "Define styles based on your formatting," there's a good chance Word has applied some other style based on your formatting. In the TOC Options dialog, make sure that there is no number beside Normal. -- Suzanne S.

Table of Contents picking up "normal" text
Hi Suzanne,
Thanks for your prompt reply. The formatting for the line in question is "Normal + Centered, Befo 2 pt, After: 2 pt, Line spacing: Exactly 11 pt" I checked the Table of Contents options and "Styles" and "Outline Levels" are checked, and the only things that have numbers are Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, Heading 4, Heading Appendix (all of which I probably creating according to an article I read on this forum several months ago), and Style Heading Appendix. Normal definitely does NOT have a number after it. Cheryl "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Are you sure it is formatted with Normal style and not, say, Title or a heading style?

In that case, I have no explanation, but you might try disabling "Outline
levels" because there's a good chance Word has assigned an outline level to your formatting (as you would see if you displayed the Document Map). -- Suzanne S.

That worked! I'm going to have to learn more about this Document Map and how
to use it to debug problems... Thanks for your help. "Suzanne S.

I can't seem to disable "Outline Levels." Where is this setting in Word 2013?
