How do I insert a heading 2 in a Table of Contents?

- It will be added to your table of contents, nested underneath the appropriate chapter heading.
Do you include subheadings in Table of Contents?
This style decision must be applied consistently throughout the text. All major headings must appear on the Table of Contents. You can chose whether or not to include all subheading levels on the Table of Contents; however, they must be consistently included on the Table of Contents.
How do you regenerate a table of contents to only show Level 1 headings?
Click in your table of contents. Now click the References tab, click Table of Contents, and then click Insert Table of Contents. (You’re going to replace the existing table of contents with the one you want.) In the Show levels box, type the number of levels you want to display in the table of contents.
Can you exclude headings from table of contents?
Yes but all that the “Do Not Show in Table of Contents” option does is take away the “Heading” categorization for your text of interest. This excludes that text from being shown in the Headings list in the Navigation Pane.
How many Headings do you need in table of contents?
If you only need two headings, you can set the value to 2. Your table of contents will then show only Heading 1 and Heading 2. If you need more, you only have to change the value to 6, for example, so it will show headings 1 through 6.
Why are there so many headings in my TOC?
Often, when you open a document created by someone else, or if you copy over portions of other documents, your table of contents can get cluttered with headings you don’t necessarily want in your TOC. Maybe you have some preliminary chapters, such as a management summary, that shouldn’t be in the TOC or the heading styles are basically just a mess.
