Such a clear and concise explanation, right to the point! I wish everyone would consider thinking through before uploading a load of bollocks that makes no sense. Cheers mate, really appreciate the help.
Abso-flippin-lutely fantastic, clear, calm, precise and it covered just exactly what I was missing at the end, i.e. the Outline Level setting. Many thanks :)
I figured out what was wrong and corrected it. (Somehow I had a tab in the style to follow the Appendix heading - i changed it to a space). Thank you again for a great tutorial.
Hi Sandi - Thanks for your comments - pleased that you got it working as you wanted, it's always very satisfying working out what has gone wrong within a Word document! - Mark
I don't use normal style for main text it's not oforf that. I use body text and I use a heading style (8 or 9) so that you can cross reference in the text. Although I didn't;t know about making any style a heading level. I thought that would really confuse word.
Your tutorial is excellent. Very easy to understand and follow. I numbered by Appendix A,B,C. everything worked until i added it to the TOC. the page numbers are printing on a second line. it has Appendix A and then lines up the verbiage for that appendix with the page numbers field (far right) and then the page number is on the next line. what did i do wrong?
The TOC feature is absolutely the worst of all features in Word, if not Office as a whole. And it has been for as long as I can remember. Because MS want to force users into fancy formatting and designs, there's just no way to build a very simple TOC and then add simple formatting one-by-one. The perceived value offer from MS to "help" me make "impressive" designs, shows total lack of understanding the customer experience and demand. There are too many automatic functions involved that ultimately don't help, they just botch things up. Imagine how many hours of what could have been productive work that have been lost on trying to make a simple TOC. That said, this instruction is a good effort. Sadly, reality is rarely, if ever, so easy at depicted here. Most of us work within corporations, with templates and default settings getting in the way of this sort of simplicity. As you can imagine, this did not work for me, at least not applied to an existing document. There is simply no way of knowing what Word is trying to do with TOC, because there is no obvious logic based on my request,, so one has to do trial-and-error to find a way to trick it into doing what one wants. Weak!
Apologies for the 7 months late reply. Not sure what happened there. However thanks for your comments. Word can certainly get very complicated. I have many similar experiences to you regarding templates being needlessly complicated and frustrating to use. If you have a particular problem let me know. I might be able to help. Thanks again - Mark
Kelvin Lush Hi Kelvin - Thanks for your comments and you're completely correct! I had my 'trainer' hat on during the recording and just trying to demonstrate within paragraph formatting the where and why of the Outline level setting in passing...
Very nice, and your voice is a gem! I'll play it every night so I could finally catch some sleep.

What if you wish to have your appendix's start with a number like App. 1 for page one, App.2 for page 2 ect ect.?

'Appendix A' etc in the contents is lower case. How do you make it show as upper case?
Thank you so much, very helpful!

Super clear. Thank you. But couldn't you have saved some time by basing it on Heading 1 rather than normal?
