Table of Contents on Word 2003

[Guest]

In older versions of Word, I was able to add options to the table of
contents. In my documents, I want to show the Appendix in the table of
contents. In the past, I used style Heading 7 to be the level 1-like heading
for the appendix. Thus, by changing the style definition of Heading 7, I
could make it look like heading 1 and then add it to the table of contents
using the options.

However, I tried that with a document I am working on, and no matter what I
do, heading 7 is not showing up in the table of contents. Is this a new
feature in Word 2003 that is overwriting my changes? When I look at the
Field Codes text, it looks like it is saving my changes, but when I update
the table, it is not showing up.

Any Help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Have you tried changing the TOC Options under Insert, Reference, Index and
Tables, Options. Scroll down to Heading 7 and enter 1 in the TOC Level, OK
and OK. Refresh table and cross fingers.
Hope this helps

Yes, I tried that--several times. I deleted, refreshed, etc. But it did not
fix it. Thanks.

Since you can't change the outline level of Word's built-in heading styles,
you may have to clear the check box for "Outline levels." Another
alternative is to make TOC 7 look like TOC 1.

Clearing the check box for "Outline levels" worked. Thank you.
