Update Table of Contents: Document Not Seeing heading update

[Brent E]

Good Day,

I pasted a few pages of content from DocumentA into the middle of DocumentB
that already has an existing Table of Contents.

I set the format heading of the added section to “heading1†and set the
indent level on the outline tool bar to “Level 1.â€

I then clicked on the TOC and the entire table was highlighted. I pressed F9
and selected “Update Entire Tableâ€. The table updated, but only the page
numbers were updated. The heading was not included in the table of contents,
nor the page number on which the section starts.

In troubleshooting, I also clicked on the added section and clicked the “Go
To TOC†icon on the outline toolbar and got an dialogue box pop saying “The
current document does not contain a table of contents. Click Insert |
Reference | Indexes and Tables to create a TOC.†So the document is seeing
the num of pages added in the section because it adjusted the page numbers
accordingly, but for some reason does not see the heading and the added
section does not see that there is a table of contents in the document. For
some reason they aren't linking.

Any ideas how to add the section to the TOC? Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Cordially,

The document might be damaged. Try copying its contents, minus the TOC and
the final paragraph mark (¶) of the document into a new document. Recreate
the TOC. Does that help?

Note that in order to show/hide paragraph marks as well as other nonprinting
marks, you can press Ctrl+Shift+8.
