Hiya,
I'm new, be nice! I am compiling a large word doc (PhD, 80 000 wds, with diagrams/figures etc) and some items keep appearing in the TOC that aren't supposed to be there. The whole document is using a style template, and all headings/tables and figures are correctly used/bookmarked. Sections are all working fine too. It looks like some things are gaining a bookmark magically, I've tried deleting them but don't really know much about that, and can't make it work. They are 'normal style' bits of text, some bolded. But also some figures and table captions too (not all). If I delte the text and start again then it looks fixed, but re-appears the next time I open it. Hope that's enough info.  Using : word 2007, Vista... |

Thanks
Hope someone can help....... I can't even seem to view the coding for bookmarks in the document after selecting 'show bookmarks' in the options/advanced menu. Must be missing something... |

All sorted. Had to NOT use the styles to change the level of each bit of text. etc etc...

Glad it's sorted, was probably a bit out the box for the regular techs here.

I did have a read of it but didn't really understand what you were asking so refrained from posting.
Welcome to the forums none the less  One thing I will say is please make sure you have regular and tested backups of that document. There was someone a few weeks ago who completely lost a document that sounded similar to yours.

You're writing a PhD in Word? That's the first mistake. Usually people tend to use LaTeX for such endeavours.

Oh everyone does them in Word in my faculty. We have no equations or tricky formatting really (my sister was in stats, and used a specific program). But most can't even use Word... and just pay people to do it for them! If you know the ins and outs, Word mostly works for what we need, and our supervisors need it in a format they can edit/read.
Strangely, the best backup system we have found is to email drafts around.... Gmail doesn't lose anything! LOL. |
