Hi,

I have a problem with my word document.

My document is around 100 pages.
It contains a first section and is followed by many appendices.
The first section as well as all the appendices are different chapters.

I have been able to build my table of contents and all my page numbering.
All this works fine. I found on the internet to use Headings 1 to 5 for the text and Headings 6 to 9 for the appendices (they said it was the good way to do this)

So the text is:
Chapter 1 (Heading 1)
Chapter 2 (Heading 1)
Chapter 3 (heading 1)
...
Appendix A (Heading 6)
Appendix B (Heading 6)
...
Appendix O (Heading 6)

However, when i click on View -> Navigation pane;
The bookmarks for my appendices (Heading 6) are collapsing under my Headings 1,2,3,4 and 5.

I would want my appendices to be on the same level as my Heading 1 in the bookmarks. But i can't use Heading 1 for my appendices. Because my text chapters are numbers (1,2,3...) and my appendices chapters are letters (A,B,C...).

The reason why i want the bookmarks to function is because i need those bookmarks when i convert my word document into a PDF file.

I have been able to google everything to get to this point, but for this last part, i couldn't find any already existing post or thread for that.

I hope that i have been clear enough

Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much.
