I was cleaning up a simple multi-level outline ('Outline Numbered', FAQ) in Microsoft Word 2003. (Let's not get into any debate about using Word or otherwise!) While it may be a bad habit, I'm accustomed to using Tab/Shift+Tab to increase/decrease the outline level/indentation. ![]() I have been having this problem with a document that I have been working on. The primary problem is that a few items show up in my TOC that I do not want there. The items are such things as Figures/Table Caption and more importantly random paragraphs in my text body?!?! So if I select the offending text and right click menu item 'paragraph.' , I do indeed find that the Outline level is set to Level 1. I change the level to 'Body Text' and voila it disappears from the TOC like I want. I then save and close the document. When I re-open it, the same text reverts back to Outline Level 1?!?!?!?! I have tried turning on the field codes to see if there was some hidden field that was messing up the text, but I didn't see any field codes in the offending paragraphs. What am I doing wrong? If you have that data appearing in your table of contents then you have the styles of those particular graphics, text or whatever set to one of the heading styles of the TOC (commonly Heading 1, Heading 2 or Heading 3). ![]() The 'quick fix' is to set those styles to something other than the Heading 1, 2 or 3. For example, if you are using Body Text for the textual content of your document, use that same setting for the text that appears in the TOC. For the figures or other data do the same as other figures of your document. Then update your TOC and they should disappear. The 'real fix' though is to understand and use the styles throughout your document. There are many links out there (web) that can help you (I just don't have them handy from this CPU or I would provide them). Hope this helps. The primary problem is that a few items show up in my TOC that I do not want there. The items are such things as Figures/Table Caption and more importantly random paragraphs in my text body?!?! This statement tells me that it is a styles issue. However, I have been wrong before. If you adjusted the styles as suggested and updated the TOC, saved the document and did not get the results.I am at a loss. Adobe acrobat xi pro free download for mac. That should have rendered a fix (even after re-opening the file). I will assume that it is too big of a file, or something that you would not want to attach?
