TOC picking up other TOC

[yepp]

using Word 2003

The TOC I am using is a RD field option.

There is an Appendix to this document.

Problem: The TOC is picking up the Appendix TOC 3 style.

here is a toggle view of the Main TOC:

{ TOC\O "1-6"\H\Z}

here is a toggle view of appendix TOC:

{ TOC\H\Z\T"HEADING7,1,HEADING8,2,HEADING9,3" }

Just to make sure I understand what you are saying: you generate the TOC
in a document where you reference one (or more?) other documents which
contain the actual headings for this TOC, correct?

There is an Appendix to this document.

As another referenced document, or as actual content?

Strange indeed.

Has your "TOC 3" style somehow gotten "promoted" to an outline level
instead of body text?

Yes, that is correct.

The Appendix is a referenced document.

Only one instance of TOC3 is being picked up... none of the others.

I don't know what the problem was. I rearranged my document's TOC to
one inclusive TOC instead of separate for Appendix. That was the only
solution that worked.

OK, this then rules out my suspicion (unless only one instance has
somehow got "dirty" with direct formatting).

Well, that's probably more reader-friendly in the first place. Glad you
have a working solution, at l(e)ast.
