Creating a table of contents
Good night every one. I can create a Table of Contents for a document, provided that the headers are unnumbered. Once they are numbered it become a big problem. Can anyone guide me to generating the TOC for headers that are numbered? Thanks in advance. |

Provided you use Word's Heading Styles, which you can have numbered or not numbered, the process is the same.

Table of contents problems
Thanks for you information.
However I still have some problem with it. First when I got to select a header for a tittle that is numbered, the number is removed. I want the number to remain. Second, after I select the tittles which I want to display in the TOC much more item that were not selected just appears in the TOC. I have to be constantly deleting them. Can this be avoided? |

Did you read the articles?
You have text in styles designated for the table of contents that are not headings. You may have formatting that text directly so it does not look like a heading, but it is still marked as one by Word. You did not do your numbering using the methods for adding numbering to a heading style, apparently. That is how you get the heading to appear without the number in the TOC. |

TOC issues
[ Thank you. You have been of great help.
I have one bug still. How can I get the styles removed from the sections of the document which I don't want to be included in the TOC? For each update a large portion of the document which I did not select is drafted into the TOC. |

Thanks Charles. I did not see the articles at first, so there were overlooked. I read them an now everything is alright.
Just one more thing: I accidentally presses a button an a grid covered my entire document and I cannot get it removed. It even appears in all other word document that I open. Do you know how to turn of this feature? |

You are welcome. Yes, it is, but that is true of much in life. Word is a marvelously complex program.
