How to stop a contents table from splitting over several pages
Hello Everyone,
I will be very grateful if anybody could help me with this issue. I am in the process of creating a Word Document which will include roughly 20 chapters, all of which need to have their own individual contents page in addition to the general contents page for the whole document. So far I have successfully created two contents pages: 1) The main contents page which picks up my "Heading 1" headings throughout the document. 2) Chapter 1 contents page: for this I have used "Chapter1Heading2" and "Chapter1Heading3" The issue occurs when trying to create the contents page for Chapter 2. I have selected "Chapter2Heading2" as TOC Level 1 and "Chapter2Heading3" as TOC level 2. When I insert the contents table my headings disappear from the top of each page and instead 1 or 2 lines of the contents table appear at the bottom of each page. The page that should have the contents table on has just two lines of it on. I have tried adding a bookmark so that the table only picks up this part of the document but this has not rectified the problem. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks Last edited by Charles Kenyon; 12-23-2016 at 03:38 PM. Reason: Mark as solved |

This sounds like you have put the TOC in its own Section and the page setup of that section needs looking at.
Can you post a cut down version of your document so we can see what exactly you have done?

Hello, thanks ever so much for your replies , I Apologise for not getting back to you sooner. In the end I created new headings under "Section2.1" and somehow this fixed everything. Many Thanks.
