Why does Word not format table of contents?
You can change the TOC styles after generating the TOC, but when you later regenerate, the TOC will again appear messed up. The only solution to this problem is to make sure that none of your headings use explicit formatting; they should rely only on styles.
How do you fix an indent in a Table of Contents?
In this tab, select Contents 2 in the Paragraph Styles list, then click Edit ▸select Indents & Spacing tab. You have set Indent ▸ Before text to 0. Default value (in a new document) is 0.50 cm (my UI is french, so cm). So you can change the value, click Ok and do the same for Contents 3 (default value 1 cm).
Why are headings not formatted in TOC style?
(Yep, there are Styles for that.) The TOC Styles aren’t going to pick up Heading Styles’ formatting, because you could, for example, want that to display in all caps in the body of the brief but in sentence case or initial caps in the TOC. Word lets you have that flexibility. Go back to each of the headings in the brief and type them in all caps.
Why do my headings not match my table of contents?
You can have ALL CAPS in the body of the document but formatted another way (Title Case, Sentence case, etc.) in the Table of Contents. Once you understand that different Styles control the heading and the TOC entry, it’s a lot easier to understand why these kinds of inconsistencies occur. “How do I know which Style to pick?”
Do you have to use named formatting for table of contents?
You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. Word’s Table of Contents (ToC) feature lists paragraphs that have specific Paragraph Styles applied to them. By that, I do not mean that you apply formatting such as “bold” to them – you actually have to apply a named style.
Why is heading 1 all caps in TOC?
But, even though my Heading 1 is all caps, it shows up in the TOC in lower case (except for one of the headings, APPELLANT’S OPENING BRIEF). I can’t figure this out! I’ve double checked and they are Heading 1 with all caps–and they are all caps in the body of the brief. Yeah, I know this feeling.
