How to Fix MS Word's Table of Contents

Posts by Ivan Walsh. Follow me on Twitter.

In Word, the Table of Contents is not displayed. Instead, I get an error message: { TOC\O "2-4"\H \Z \T "HEADING 1,1"}

Ivan - I think the problem is to do with Field Codes, so here's a few suggestions.

1. In Word, go to Tools > Options > View tab and click off Field Codes (if this is selected) or

2. Close Word. Open Windows Explorer and search for Normal.dot.

Delete all copies of Normal.dot!
