Include section numbers in Table of Contents Sean Bishop 11/8/2008 1:17:01 PM I am using Word 2000 This is my first attempt a creating a document with Sections and a Table of Contents. I am writing up some instructions. I have divided the document up into sections A,B,C etc. and each section begins with a Level 1 Heading. I am also using Level 2 & 3 Headings. I can produce a Table of Contents but what I cannot do, or find anything in the help files about, is show the Section letter in the Table of Contents before the Level 1 Heading eg. it shows Introduction................................1 I would like it to show A. Introduction............................1 I have tried using the field setting "Section" in front of the Level1 Heading but this produces 'AIntroduction' , no full stop or space which looks ugly. I cannot see or find any way to add text to the field setting. Is there any way I can set up the Table of Contents to show the Section ? Many thanks for your help. Sean Bishop

If they include A, B, C outline numbering, it should be picked up by the TOC. If not, you can add numbering to the TOC 1 style itself; see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm#UnnumberedHeadings -- Suzanne S.
