Problems with the table of content in word

[Nancy1014]

I exported a pdf to word, made all the arrangements with the headings but when I request the table of content, it only includes the bibliography, which is at the end of a 90 pages document.

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.

No. I recover the document from a PDF document, and the headings began at levels 7 and 8. There was no way I could reach "Title" or other levels.

If you upload a copy of the document, we can investigate the issue.

Be aware however that with a document that was recovered from a PDF file it is very likely that there will be some features that do not work as expected.

Hello @Nancy1014 ,

that's expected. You recovered the document from PDF, no way Word knows what is text and what is heading. You need to apply the styles, reformat the document. 

Then all will work.
