Updating Table of Contents

I created a document with a table of contents. I had to
add another section to my document and I did update the
table of contents, but the new section and page number did
not appear in the updated table of contents. Help!

Colleen,

Try the following:
Right click anywhere on the table of contents
Click Update field on the shortcut menu
Click the Update entire table radio button
Click OK

If that doesn't work, check the new section and make sure the section begins
with a heading in a style that is picked up by your table of contents (for
example, Heading 1, Heading 2 or Heading 3). If it does not, apply the
appropriate style and update the table of contents again.

To see which styles are included in your table of contents, click Index and
Tables on the Insert menu, click the Table of Contents tab, click Options
and note the styles as you scroll down the TOC level box.

When updating the TOC are u selecting options to update only page numbers
or the entire table?
You could try right clicking on the TOC and selecting update field and
update entire table to recreate the latest TOC.
Additionally, are the new sections headings 4 and above? by default only
headings 1 thru 3 are shown in table of contents.

.

Did you attach a heading style from your style template to
each of your headings that were to appear in the TOC?
Possibly that section heading is not styled with a heading
style.
