Title: Word 2007 help regarding auto-generating Table of Contents and level depth
Post by: Tieno on May 27, 2008, 02:49:15 PM
So I'm trying to auto-generate my table of contents, but it only goes 3 heading levels deep when the headings in my text occasionaly go 4 or 5 levels deep. Anyone know a solution? I've tried googling but can't seem to find it.

I did some trial and error as you suggested and found my problem. Instead of editting my existing Table of Contents I generated a new one and then I got a dialog window where I could specify the level depth.

Thanks Borys!

I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE when you like. Indent a paragraph and then your sentence runs onto the next line, but it won't let you indent that line for some fucking bizzare reason, so you have to manually space the whole thing.

No it isn't, I fucking love it. Word 2007 + Endnote has saved me so much time with my references. I did a pretty long paper last year where I did my references and footnotes manually, which takes a lot of extra time to get everything correct. Got endnote at the start this academic year and now I only have to enter my data once and then it generates instantly my bibliographic list and my references/footnotes from my database in whichever style I want.
Besides that, just have to know what you're doing from the start and everything is nice and tidy and you save a lot of time.
Learning curve is frustrating but by now I pretty much know how to solve all my commen problems. That "IP" button is your friend.

So Endnote is a good product, not Word.
