Table of Contents has roman numerals for numbers
Hello:
I am using MS Office 365 on a Lenovo laptop running Windows 10.
When inserting a TOC, I have two Automatic Table 1 and 2 and one manual Table.
When I chose one of the two automatic Tables, I see the page numbers are roman numerals. I tried to change them to numbers but could not.
Can someone suggest how?

For each section of the document activate the header/footer - go to the Insert ribbon > Header & Footer > Page Numbers > Format Page Numbers ... > Change number format.
You can have your number format set to roman/arabic numerals while the number format in this location can be different. I found changing it in this location made the ToC update accordingly.
- Yes, that worked perfectly! Thanks a lot!
I had the same issue, I selected a default template and it defaulted to roman numerals and I couldnt figure out how to change it. My issue was the default page number was set to roman numerals however the displayed page numbers showed just regular numbers. So I click on the one of the page numbers and change the style and that did the trick.
TOC uses the same formatting as the headings present in the document. Either modify them, or create a custom TOC. The setting you need to change is under TOC -> Modify-> select the Style in question -> Modify -> Format -> Numbering -> select from one of the available formattings.
VasilMichev, this solution does not work.
Hi,
I am facing problems with my ToC - it includes captions apart from Heading 1, 2, 3 and 4. I have tried changing it by going to Custom Table of Contents --> select template --> options --> deselect captions. But as soon as I press ok, the captions comes right back in the selection. What is the way around this??
Thanks in advance.
