Hello,


The appearance of Table of Contents entries are controlled by thhe TOC styles.
The formatting of each item at the same level must be the same. So if you use Heading 1 for your headings in your front matter, and Heading 1 in your document body, the formatting will be the same.
Consider using a lower-level heading for your front matter headings if you do not want page numbers. You can modify these styles so they appear the same as Heading 1. This is often done with Appendices.
Heading Numbering is best done tied to styles following the directions given in How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in Ribbon Versions of Word by Shauna Kelly.


Here are some resources:

Thanks for your reply, I have managed to get the titles into the table of contents without them appearing with numbers.

However, I cant seem to control the indent of the both the numbers and the text for the numbered headings, do you know how this is controlled?

I have tried changing this under table of contents>custom table of contents>modify>modify and then changing the indent, however this moves the headings in the body of the text, I only want to move their position in the table of contents...
