Appendix not showing in TOC

[Guest]

I am trying to create different chapter numbering and appendix numbering in
Word XP.
I followed KB article Q290953 to adjust Heading 7 to look like a first level
heading and number A,B,C, ... This seems fine.

Now I want the appendix to appear in the TOC. I followed instructions on the
same KB article, but the appedix doesn't show up.

Any ideas why?

Hard to say without seeing exactly how your ToC is built.

Woth the document open, press Alt-F9 to show the field codes, and then copy
& paste the contents of the TOC field into a messge so we can see. Then I'm
sure somebody will be able to show you what needs to be changed.

This is the code:

{ TOC \o "1-6" \h \z \u \t "Heading 7;1" }

Try changing the semicolon to a comma; it may be that a semicolon is not
needed here (a comma is what's prescribed in Help, and it may not be
affected by your choice of decimal point/thousands separator).

This doesn't help. I tried with a blank new document. Added
Chap 1 (Heading1)
Chap 2 (Heading1)
App A (Heading7)
Added TOC the way it is described in the KB article - this shows only Chap1
and Chap2. Changing ; to , has no effect.

What's wrong here?

FWIW, I'm seeing the same thing. Even if I set the number of levels to 7
initially, then clear the boxes for Headings 3-6 and set Heading 7 to 1, I
still get the same field code that you get:

{ TOC \o "1-2" \u \t "Heading 7,1" }

and Heading 7 is not included in the TOC even though it is displayed in the
sample view in the dialog. If, however, I clear the check box for "Outline
levels," leaving just "Styles" checked, then even with the number of levels
set to just 2, I get this field code:

{ TOC \o "1-2" \t "Heading 7,1" }

and it does work. It would therefore appear that the \u switch is the
culprit.

Removing the "\u" did the job. Thanks!
