Table of contents

[heavytull]

Hello,

I'm struggling hopelessly!!! I did a document in which everyting i
formatted as Normal
all titles are numbered using the Word format which is
1
1.1
1.1.2
....
2.2.1
....

when I see in Cross-reference all numbers and related titles appear
but there is noway to get the Map or the table of contents!!!

and morover each time It writes any error message on the doc it put
the number 1. as if I added a new content and all the rest of th
numbers are delayed

Hi heavytull

If you did all that in "Normal" style, it's not a big surpise if you're
struggling!!

when I see in Cross-reference all numbers and related titles appear,
but there is noway to get the Map or the table of contents!!!

The document Map, as the TOC, pulls information from the level setting
of each paragraph. Since all your paragraphs are in "Normal" style, they
all are in level "Bodytext". If you want to create a TOC, you either

- use Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. to markup your headings
- use your own custom styles with the correct outline level
- apply the level as direct formatting to all headings (not a very
bright idea, but it would work, too)
- use TC-fields to identify TOC-entries independent of the outline headings
