Table of Contents

Hopefully I am in the right group.

I created a document and added a table of contents (insert
table of contents). Once I had saved this document, I had
to add another section to my document. I updated the
table of contents after I added the new section, but it
does not show in my table of contents. Help!

When you update the TOC, you need to tell it to update entire table, not
page numbers only.

Does the new section use heading styles recognized by your TOC? If you were
asked if you wanted to update only page numbers or the whole table, did you
tell Word you wanted to update the whole table?

I did have it update entire TOC, but it still did not add
the new section.

Yes, I used the same styles as before. I was asked
whether to update page numbers only or the whole table,
and I selected whole table, yet it still doesn't update it
with the new section. I am at a loss!

Hmmm... what you did should have worked. Have you tried deleting the
TOC and reinserting it?
