Table of Contents
Never type directly in the TOC, as when it is refresh (entire table) all
edits and formatting will be removed. Go to the actual heading itself and do the edits there. Show/Hide button does not actually show the Fields, Shift+F9 will toggle the view of fields, or under Tools, Options, View check the Field Codes box (for 2003 and prior, 2007 under Word options I believe). From your description, the Appendix headings in the TOC have different formatting from the other TOC items, this is usually because the Heading in the document has manually formatting applied, for example Bold which is not part of the style used. Go to the heading in the document, select the entire heading then press Ctrl+Spacebar (or Ctrl+Z) to return to the formatting settings of the style assigned. So long as the Appendix headings style is the same as the Heading style, and the TOC styles are the same, then your TOC will look better once refreshed. Hope this helps DeanH "VickiAGO" wrote: I am updating a manual that was created by someone else and then passed on to me through several different computers. There is a Table of Contents, and the Appendix part of the Table of Contents appears to have different formatting than the rest of the Table of Contents. I can update the page numbers in the Table of Contents by hitting the F9 button, but when I click on the show/hide button, none of the bracketed fields show up in the document itself. I need to update a few of the Table of Contents headings (the appendices in particular) within the document. If I try, out of desperation, to type changes directly into the Table of Contents the spacing doesn't look right. Is there a way I can update the Table of Contents when the fields don't show up in the document? |
