Hi,I have a problem with my table of contents. It's showing page number with no Header. I've attached a photo. Thanks, Mike

Stefan_Blom There were a number of empty paragraphs to which the Heading 1 style had been applied. To overcome the issue, the Replace facility was used to replace the Heading 1 style with the Normal style in those locations where it was not required.

bdq172 You can send the document to me at dougrobbinsmvp[atsymbol]gmail[dot]com and I will investigate the issue.

bdq172 I'm glad you got it sorted. Would you mind telling us what the problem turned out to be? Or maybe Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP could provide us with a brief summary?

bdq172 Just a short jargon alert: Reading your question again, there is a significant difference between headings and headers. The terms are easily confused but using the wrong one will make getting help a lot harder.What is the difference between headings and headers?

bdq172 In Word, the table of contents is hyperlinked by default. If you click or Ctrl + click one of the blank paragraphs, to which location in the document does the insertion point move? If you want to, you can share a sample document in Word format.
