Problems with the table of content in word
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.
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.
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.

- 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.
