Table of Contents Error

[imccallusa]

I am using Word 2000 and I continually get the following error message: "Error! No table of contents entries found." What on earth am I doing wrong?

The most likely reason is that you have inserted a default table of contents
based on levels, but you haven't used the built-in heading styles (Heading
1, Heading 2 and so on) for your headings.

Could you please elaborate on what you are referring to by headers in the table of contents? I go to a blank document and insert a table of contents and I received this error message.

?????

A table of content (TOC) in a blank document?

?????

We can blame Microsoft for a lot of lame programming and many oversights....
but you put a TOC in a blank document and you do not understand why you are
getting an error message?

Am I missing something? Have you forgotten to explain something?
If not, then.... please... think about it....

TOC + Blank document = Error meassage.
But of course!
What else did you expect?

Cheers!

Immcallusa,

Perhaps you should familiarise yourself with Table of Contents as it's
described in the Word Help files. Basically, you use styles throughout the
document (eg instead of Normal, some content is defined as Heading 1 etc as
appropriate) and then you generate a Table of Contents which picks up and
references the styles that you elect, eg Heading 1.

Like I said, though, read up on the Table of Contents in the Word help files
and then shoot us through a post if you get stuck.

HTH,
Katherine
