Robert....try this....open a brand new blank document and follow my directions here EXACTLY: http://newbieclub.com/officetips/20011206.htm If this works, then you will know you are doing it correctly and there's something else going on....however, if you are doing it differently than these instructions, that could be your problem. Let us know if this works. And...PLEASE put the Program name in your subject line...Styles are used in many Office programs, not just Word, so the Word gurus may not have even read this post.

If you got a bug that looks like it came from me, it did NOT! -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robert Carneal Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2004 5:14 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Cannot change styles I have assembled a document that I would like to make a table of contents for. I +thought+ I knew how to make a table of contents already, but the styles I try to apply will not stick. Could I be locked out from changing styles somehow? If I highlight the title, and click "Heading 1" the font changes, but when I go to build the actual table, it says "Error. No table of contents found." I would appreciate suggestions, as this needs to be given to someone Monday. Thank you.
