Word allows you to create a table of contents using your own TOC specifications. You do this by first inserting TOC fields in your document (as described in the previous tip) and then compiling the actual TOC. To compile the TOC, follow these steps:
Figure 1. The Table of Contents tab of the Index and Tables dialog box.
Figure 2. The Table of Contents Options dialog box.

Hi
Ref Tip 12660
TOC works great!
BUT
I moved the file from C to my old VISTA desktop. I was half finished. Now the program TOC is not working!!!
The HEADING 1 from the first do not show up (they are marked Heading 1) and only those from my VISTA will show-up.
Ihave removed the TOC on both computers.
Restarted both computers.
The TOC will not UPDATE or goaway!!
any suggestions.
Bill
Got a version of Word that uses the ribbon interface (Word 2007 or later)? This site is for you! If you use an earlier version of Word, visit our WordTips site focusing on the menu interface.
