Hi Girvin,

Many thanks for taking the time to respond to my request.

It seems I didn't explain my problem accurately enough. The "New
Chapter" style referred to is a page style not a paragraph style.
Therefore it doesn't appear in the "Additional Styles" list.

I have always believed (maybe incorrectly) that the "Heading 1"
paragraph style was included int the TOC by default, unless otherwise
excluded.

I will try and construct a near identical sample document and post back
here with a link. Maybe someone could take a quick look at that sample
and see where I am going wrong.

Best Regards
Dave

Dave,

Have you added your new style to the TOC?

Right-click on the TOC. Select "Edit Index".

If "Protected against manual changes" is checked, you will have to
uncheck it, OK and re-edit the TOC.

Select the "Type" tab if not already shown. Down under "Create from",
check "Additional Styles" and then the "Assign styles..." box to the right.

You should see a list of the styles in your document, including your
"New Chapter" style, on the left column ("Not applied") and the
associated TOC levels (associated to styles in the Styles tab) to the
right of the first column. Scroll down to find your style, "New
Chapter", and use the ">|" or "|<" buttons to assign a contents level
for your style by moving the style into the proper level column. I would
guess the "1" column, since it is higher than the headings.

Since by default, "heading1" style is associated to contents level 1 and
this procedure reassigns TOC level 1, You may need to manually associate
the heading styles to the correct level also. Do the same for all the
heading levels you use in the document, since they are all shifted up a
level. Note that the more custom levels you have, the less heading
levels you will have, since the limit is 10. One way around that, is to
assign a single TOC level style to all heading levels. But that may
limit the look of your TOC if you want different styles for different
levels, such as indents.

It may take some experimentation with this to get what you want out of
it. For instance, if you want the "New Chapter" contents style to look
different than the stock styles, you may need to make a contents style
specific for the TOC rather than the default "contents*" styles. Then in
the "Styles" tab, change the New Chapter level (1) to use your new
contents style. Use the "<-" button by selecting the level and then the
style followed by the "<-" button to make the assignment.

When you are all done, re-check the Protected Against Manual Changes box
and OK.

HTH.

I have set up chapter numbering as per the help page
https://tinyurl.com/vsq77lu and created a "New Chapter" page style.

After inserting a manual page break with the "New Chapter" page style I
set the first paragraph style to "Heading 1" and the correct chapter
name/number is displayed both on the page and in Navigator.

However, when I insert a TOC into the document no chapters appear in the
index.

Any thoughts or pointers would be welcome.

Thanks Dave
