hi

I have build headings and styles in my document. I was able to get TOC with one heading without any problem. now we need to modity it and include second level of headings and this is where the problem is. If you see the items below, it describes the flow of my document. As u can see i have main headings (1/2/3/4) which appear in TOC. But the problem is with second level. As you can see in some places, like 2.1, the heading 2 is a full sentence while in places like 3.1 its just a title with more description under it. Of course both heading 2's have different style as they have different fonts.



I was hoping to have TOC with section 1, section 2, section 3, section 3.1 and section 4. Is there a way around this? so basically i didnt want the full sentence of 3.1 appear in the TOC. How do i do this?

Hi xyz,

It appears your '2.1' & '3.1' paragraphs are formatted in Word's 'Heading 2' Style. Not an especially good idea, but manageable by changing the TOC settings.

By default, Word TOCs incorporate heading Styles 1-3. When creating the TOC, you can limit this to, say, 'Heading 1'. Alternatively, you can edit the TOC field later on, by adding the appropriate switches. For the latter, select the TOC field and press Shift-F9. You should see something like '{TOC}' or '{TOC \o "1-3" \h \z}'. Change the code so that you have something like '{TOC \o "1-1"}' or '{TOC \o "1-1" \h \z}'. Whn you're done, press Ctrl-A, then F9 to update the TOC.
