I am attempting to link my table of contents into my header. So far the TOC appears to be working just fine using Header 1. However when I use the term { STYLEREF "Heading 1" } in my header I am not seeing the actual chapter name as located in my TOC. In fact I am viewing a gray out term: { STYLEREF "Heading 1" } in my document. Any thoughts on what I am missing here?
You only need to toggle field codes. To do this, press Alt+F9. Fields can be in two modes: they can show the result, i.e. the content that will print, or they can show the code behind. Alt+F9 toggles field codes on and off. -- Regards Lene Fredborg - Microsoft MVP (Word) DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "briank" wrote: > I am attempting to link my table of contents into my header.

I do not think that I am viewing field codes here. For when I toggle over (Alt-F9) I view the term {STYLEREF "Heading 1"} {PAGE}. Prior to toggling I view the term {STYLEREF "Heading 1"} 2. Does this help in narrowing down the issue?

Press Alt+F9 once more. You were viewing field codes of the StyleRef field only. Therefore, you need to press Alt+F9 again. The first time, the field codes of alle fields will be shown. The second time, all field codes will be hidden. The reason why only your StyleRef field showed field codes may be that you had just created the field. Normally, if you type a field manually, you only need to press F9 to toggle and update that field. If you click in a field and press Shift+F9, you toggle the field codes of only that field. -- Regards Lene Fredborg - Microsoft MVP (Word) DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "briank" wrote: > I do not think that I am viewing field codes here.

Perhaps I am still missing something basic and obvious but I have pressed Alt F9 more than a few times and I still look at the term {STYLEREF "Heading 1"} in the header of my document. Any thoughts?

Then you have typed {STYLEREF "Heading 1"} from the keyboard when it is supposed to be a field. Select STYLEREF "Heading 1" and press CTRL+F9 to make it into a field. Delete the unwanted typed brackets {} then update the field (F9) and you should be able to toggle the display normally. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> briank wrote: > Perhaps I am still missing something basic and obvious but I have > pressed Alt F9 more than a few times and I still look at the term > in the header of my document.
