My document use until paragraph level 5 and i realised my TOC is only showing until level 3. When i try to do the fix at 5:10 my TOC doesn’t have the “Show levels”

@@officiallyanoob4435 which version of word are you using?

[@officiallyanoob4435]

@@softwareaccountant not sure. I installed it 2 years ago but i found out why my headers not appearing. When i put numbering it messed up with the header so i just right click on the header at the toolbar and clicked “update heading to match selection” and it works now

[@softwareaccountant]

@@officiallyanoob4435 okay good to hear that

I have used all my styled headings (3 levels) and I am still getting the error message. Any ideas? I have tried all these steps.
