Problems with the table of content in word
In the original Word document, are your headings formatted with the built-in heading styles?
If "excessive" paragraphs are included in the TOC, one workaround may be to reveal the field code for the TOC and remove the \u switch. Press Alt+F9 (or Alt+Fn+F9 on some keyboards) to show field codes and then edit the TOC field. You want it to look similar to this:
What are the TOC's? The thing is that in the sequence of headings, they began with 7, instead of 1.
Maybe I misunderstood your question.
Are you saying that pages are lost in the Word document, or that text paragraphs are missing from the table of contents?
You can share a representative sample document with the forum, and I'll have a closer look.
- It is, mostly, that Word commands (mainly the headings) do not respond when I ask for them, like fixing a title or heading and the computer does not recognize the command when I ask for the table of content; the heading or title does not appear in the table.
Hello Nancy1014 ,
what do you mean by "Word commands, mainly the headings, do not respond when I ask for them".
What command do you use to apply a heading that your computer doesn't recognise?
I think your headings only look like headings, but their Outline level is Body text.
