how to show different TOC levels
Did you include Level 2 in the TOC? Press Alt+F9 to display the TOC field
code. By default, it will show { TOC \o "1-3" \h \z \u }. If you don't have, at minimum, "1-2" for the levels, then Level 2 won't be included. -- Suzanne S.

how to show different TOC levels
Thank you. I see the code and I have more questions:
1. When I try to change the "{ TOC \o "1-1" \h \z \u }" that shows initially to "{ TOC \o "1-2" \h \z \u }", I can't seem to get it to update. I tried F9, and the code still shows. Should I update the code somewhere else? 2. In another document, when I tried the same thing, the TOC updated, but also shows the "Normal" formatting that is below the Heading 2 formatted text. What did I do wrong? Thanks, Suzanne, your replies are always helpful. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Did you include Level 2 in the TOC? Press Alt+F9 to display the TOC field code.

how to show different TOC levels
You should be able to edit the field code manually, toggle back with Alt+F9,
then F9 to update. As for the second issue, are you sure the text below your heading is actually in Normal (or some other non-heading) style? That the heading ends with a paragraph break and not a line break? -- Suzanne S.

how to show different TOC levels
Okay, thanks. I got the Alt+F9, so I'm back at the TOC with the Heading 2
showing. However, the Normal text below the Heading 2 is still showing in the TOC. I checked, using the Show/Hide formatting, and it appears that I did a hard return after the Heading 2 lines. Is that what you mean by "paragraph break"? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You should be able to edit the field code manually, toggle back with Alt+F9, then F9 to update.

Yes, that's what I meant. Make sure that the style applied to the body text
has an outline level of Body Text and not Level 2 (Format | Paragraph). -- Suzanne S.
