Problem with TOC and numbered headings

[developmental2]

Hi there,


I am trying to create a TOC for a Word 2000 (SP3) which has numbered
headings (heading1, 2, 3)
in the document, word creates them with hierarchical justification just
so:

1. title1

2. title2

3 title3

4. title4
4.1 title44
4.2 title444


thats fine, but in the TOC, it messes up everything like this:

1. title1
2. title2
3. title3
4. title4
4.1. title44
4.2 title444

where headings 1-4 are just heading1 style.. only from 4.1 do I start
going into deeper levels.

In desperation, I resigned to having a non hierarchical TOC, all
flushed to the left, by resetting the TOC styles to be flushed with no
justification but this produces a very strange phenomenon:
this works at first, i.e. if I delete the TOC and re-insert it, it
comes up like this:

1. title1
2. title2
3 title3
4. title4
4.1 title44
4.2 title444

I can live with that, but if I right click it and select "update field

update entire table"

it scrambles up the TOC again as in the previous example... but then If
I delete the TOC and re-insert it, it will come up as above..

what can I do... ?


Thanks

You need to modify the TOC styles to have tab stops in the appropriate
places.
