Add style to headings sidebar
Thanks for raising this question. In Word, only paragraph styles that have an "outline level" of 1-9 will appear in the navigation pane and be included in the default table of contents. Most of the built-in Heading styles are hard-wired with outline levels, but custom styles default to "body text" with no outline level, so they don't show up.
To make your custom style appear in the navigation pane, modify the style and set its "Outline level" (in the Paragraph > Indents & Spacing dialog) to the appropriate level. Alternatively, you can base your style on a built-in Heading style or link it to a level of a multilevel list, which will automatically assign an outline level. Once you've done this, headings using your custom style will display in the navigation pane and can be navigated to just like built-in headings.
Hope that helps!
How do you edit posts? Want to add I've got a multilevel list managing headings; I need some headings not to be numbered; those are not in the multilevel list or nav pane.
Use one of the levels in the multilevel list and the related Heading # style for the un-numbered headings.
Re editing your post, if you click on the ellipsis at the top right of your post, you should see an Edit item, which is what I did here to add this to my initial response.
