Default Chapter headings in navigation -- how to add?

Hi there,


I've tried googling around for a solution to this, but I haven't had any luck. I inherited a document from a coworker who is no longer here, and it has a helpful table of contents in the navigation pane. How do I add chapter headings in the navigation pane? The chapters already there only cover about half the document; it stops with Chapter 12, and there are 22 chapters in this book manuscript. I've included a screen shot, attached, for reference. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Sincerely,
Molly

To see the chapter headings in either the navigation pane or the TOC (if one was created), those headings must be created using styles. Because you can see chapters 1 - 12 but, cannot see chapters 13 - 22, I would suspect that chapters 13 - 22 have not been assigned the appropriate style.

Here are a couple of links that will help you:

Hope this helps...

And the styles must have a heading level as part of the definition.
To apply the heading 1 style you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+1. Similar shortcuts are built in for headings 2 & 3. Use these shortcuts, click in the heading without selecting anything and use the shortcut.

You can use these styles to generate a table of contents in the document for printing if you want.

In your example, I would suggest using Heading 1 for the Chapter headings and Headings 2 (and 3) for headings inside chapters. That way you will get a hierarchy shown in both the navigation pane and in a generated table of contents.

I would add that understanding and using styles is a key part of making Word work for your rather than against you.
