help! table of contents problem
sobol5106 wrote: *This is a bit of a long question from a novice, here goes..documents and templates that previously had no problems with their table of contents, updating, etc. no longer update and their table of contents have disappeared. I've had some of these doc's and templates for years, so I've never had to create a toc from scratch. So, when the problem appeared yesterday I tried creating toc from scratch and the same thing happens to the new toc's I try to create. I follow the "easy" instructions for creating a toc, but when I hit F9 to update the field, nothing happens and the field remains as follows toc\o"2-3"\h\zu\t "heading" (there are brackets at the beginning of the string that I couldn't enter). Stranger yet, I had copied the above string to insert in this message and when I pasted it, instead of the string, the table of contents appeared in this message box (see part of this below). Does anybody have any idea what the heck is going on?
