TOC starts behaving strangely

J

Jonathan Stratford

Hi,
I have a TOC field which is defined as follows:

TOC \o "1-5" \h \z \u

It used to work fine (this is in a very long document) and would display the
first 5 headings, but now it has started to display some of the figure
captions and subheadings, even though the formatting for these has not been
touched and are unchanged. This seems to occur on both Office XP and 2003

Does anyone have any suggestions as the cause and solution?

Many thanks,

Jonathan Stratford

Hi, Jonathan. I have NEVER seen this happen. I can only suggest that you
double-check the styles on these captions, figures, and subheadings again to
make sure they do NOT use Headings 1 through 5.

Check the figure captions and subheadings in question to make sure the
paragraphs haven't acquired an outline level of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.

I have checked them, and they exactly as they should be, NOT using headings
1-5. Any suggestions?

Many thanks,

I didn't say that they were Heading 1-5. I said check the outline level: go
to Format | Paragraph, look in the top right corner, and make sure that the
outline level is Body Text. Alternatively, open the Options in the TOC
dialog and make sure that there is not a number (1-5) beside the styles
being used for the captions.
