Word Table of Contents
I have a 65,000 word document. Heading 1 is 18 pt and Heading 2 is 16 pt. But . . . when I drop down the TOC menu the sizes are reversed, or at least H1 is small and H2 is large. The implemented TOC is also the same incorrect style.
I have spent hours trying to sort this. What is the solution, and why is this happening? I have checked the styles.
- Hi, The Heading1 and Heading2 etc styles control how text is displayed / printed inside the document. You want to have a look at the TOC1 and TOC2 styles that control how text is included in the table of content. Kind regards Hans

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, with help of an online MS chat technician, I got to grips with that and fixed the problem in 30 seconds. However, that is something I find quite surprising. I dont understand why this is necessary. I wanted H1 at the top of the cascade etc. Why would I have to set another parameter for TOC? Anyway, MS needs to look at that arcane setting IMHO.
