SYMPTOMS
Case 1
The index or table of contents in your master document begins with chapter
0 (in Microsoft Word 6.x or 7.x), or you get no number for heading 1 style
paragraphs (Word 98 Macintosh Edition).
Case 2
The index or table of contents does not include chapter numbering.
CAUSE
Case 1
You specified chapter numbering in the subdocuments but not in the master
document.
Case 2
You specified chapter numbering in the master document but not in the
subdocuments.
RESOLUTION
To work around these problems, generate a table of contents or index that
includes the chapter number and begins with Chapter 1 instead of Chapter 0.
To do this, follow these steps:
- In each of your subdocuments, number the headings. In Word 6.x-7.x, use
the Heading Numbering command on the Format menu, and in Word 98
Macintosh Edition, use the Outline Numbering tab (click the
Bullets and Numbering command on the Format menu).
- Format the page numbers in each subdocument to include chapter numbers.
(To locate the Chapter Numbers option, click Page Numbers on the Insert
menu, and then click Format.)
- In the master document, turn on Heading Numbering.
