How do I remove Level 1 and 2 but show Level 3 only in a TOC?

Using 2007 and getting confused! How do I only show a Level 3 Heading in a
TOC when I have multiple levels?

Also, what does the "Add Text" in the References, Table of Contents mean?
There is a checkmark for either of the following options: Do not show in
table of contents, Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3. Does that have
anything to do with my question above?
 
For general principles, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm.
If all else fails, you can display the TOC field (Alt+F9) and manually add
the "\n 1-2" switch. But the check boxes you mention for "Do not show in
table of contents" sound promising. Have you tried checking them?

Hi Suzanne,

I did check the link below but nothing seemed to work and tried checking off
the different levels before I posted my question. There doesn't seem to be
anything in the help for 2007 either. :(((
 
You've added the \n 1-2 switch and updated the TOC and still no joy? The
other alternative is to uncheck Heading 1 and Heading 2 in the TOC Options.

Hi again Suzanne and thanks for staying with me! I was trying all sorts of
things yesterday, including unchecking Heading 1 and 2, but today I calmed
down and reread your very informative article and tried removing the
*numbers* by the Table of Contents, Options, Level 1 and Level 2. When I
generated the TOC, it only showed the Level 3!! So, that's it!

Thanks!

Les
 
Glad you got there in the end!
