Heading Styles in TOC

[Dave French]

I have created some new Heading Styles for use in a document.
How would I get them to be recognized in a TOC?
Are there specified Styles that ONLY will work or is there a setting to get
them to be recognized?

By default, a TOC includes built-in heading styles (the number of levels you
specify) and other styles that have the same outline level. You can include
or exclude any styles you want by typing a number beside them in the TOC
Options dialog (or deleting/changing the number that is there), but if you
want your headings to appear automatically, you should give them an
appropriate outline level (Format | Style | Modify: Format: Paragraph).

Every time you create a table of contents, you can specify which styles to
use. In the Index and Tables dialog box (Word 2003) or Table of Contents
dialog box (Word 2007), click the Options button and then specify TOC levels
for your custom styles.

To display the dialog box:

- On the References tab of the ribbon, click Table of Contents, and then
click Insert Table of Contents (Word 2007).

- Click Insert | References | Index and Tables. Click the Table of Contents
tab (Word 2003).

When you define your heading styles, assign an outline level (in the
Paragraph dialog box, indents and spacing tab). Level 1 will get picked
up as top-level TOC entries, etc.
