Table of content: Text appearing in table of contents | Caption showing in table of content in words

[@CH-ft8oi]

Alicerita, Thank you for this instructional video. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work on my doc. My first words of the paragraph are highlighted as heading 2 (bold, 12 pt Garmond) and the remainder of paragraph is labeled BODY TEXT andits own parameters are, no bold, 12 pt Garamond. Unfortunately, it still picks up the BODY TEXT. Is it because I need to label it Heading 5 or something that won't show in my TOC

Hi, I totally understand. After setting the style you want to use it is important you restart the MS word document. If you are working on an old document, you might have to first define the styles for each paragraphs again. I experienced something similar. For me I had an old document opened and when I set up the style, it remembered the memory of the opened one. Also, as you are writing, if you delete any paragraph before a heading or caption, I noticed from my document that automatically messed up the style. New tip: you can track the style in real-time as you write. 1.OPEN THE STYLE PANE (opens a drop down menu to the right side) 2. At the base of the style pane, SELECT STYLE IN USE This should show a colourful var to the left of the window. Different style will show different colour

Thank you, anxious to try this! Of course, old doc, working for attorney 😶they like old docs😉

[@AliceritaE]

that's lovely. I hope the new tip with the real time tracking also helps

I have numbered paragraphs that I do not want in my TOC and I had created a style for them. For some reason it seems to be based on Heading 1 even though it shows in the style gallery details as based on List Paragraph....I'm confused...

[@AliceritaE]

Hi Cindy, please highlight those paragraphs and select "normal style" That should eliminate them from TOC. I had similar experience where the paragraphs appeared in my TOC
