cannot remove a heading from a document and update the table of contents
Hi everyone. I have Word 2010 and Windows 7.
I am writing a long piece using heading 1 for chapter titles and heading 2 for headings in the body of the text. These latter headings are numbered; thus, 7.2 indicates chapter 7, second heading. I need to remove a heading 2, to which end I highlight it, delete it and click on "update table of contents". But in the table the heading has gone but the heading number sequence has not been changed. For chapter 7 it reads 7.1, then 7.3 and so on. so that it is out of sequence. How can I fix it? Thanks very much. Last edited by Charles Kenyon; 08-20-2019 at 02:27 PM. Reason: Mark as solved |

There is a paragraph in Heading 2 style. It may be blank, but it is there.
If you display the Navigation Pane (View Tab) you can click on the blank heading and then delete that paragraph. |
