Style "Heading 1" for Table of Contents
I have a document with a TOC with two heading levels, Heading 1 and Heading
2. Somehow, I no longer have "Heading 1" in my list of styles when I click the style box pulldown. "Heading 2" is still there. When I try to create a new style for "Heading 1" it won't let me because that style already exists or is reserved. (Duh!) But I can't find it, can't seem to recreate it, and don't know how to restore it. Can anyone offer a suggestion? Thanks. |

Style "Heading 1" for Table of Contents
This is unlikely to be happening in any version before Word 2002, so I'll
assume you have 2002 or 2003. Display the Styles and Formatting task pane and make sure you have "Styles in use" or "All styles" displayed. If the task pane is set to "Available styles" and Heading 1 is not available, you can choose Custom and make it available. Note, too, that you can always force the Style dropdown to display all styles (really all, not what the task pane considers all) by pressing Shift while you click on the arrow. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks, Suzanne! I'll try that. BTW, I'm using Office 2003. I appreciate your reply! "Suzanne S.
