Table of Contents entries

[JonTarg]

I am encountering difficulties using the Table of Contents feature in
Word2007 operating under Vista.

I want to exclude certain headings from the TOC, but when I go to the
References "Add Text" button and tick "Do not show in Table of Contents"
(this is the only way I know to exclude the item from the TOC) the heading is
automatically placed in a lower heading level - I don't want to lower the
heading level of the heading involved.

Any suggestions?

The simplest method is to create a new style, whose formatting is identical
to that of the style those headings now have, but with the Outline Level in
its Paragraph dialog set to "body text". Apply that style to any headings
you want to exclude from the TOC.
