MS word - table of contents, headings, numbering confusion
Hello,
I'm working on a document that I need to create a table of contents for.
Could I get some assistance or someone to point me in the right direction to fix my document.
I though I could use Heading 1 for the areas that i want to show up in the TOC
Attached is a sample - I took out all the sensitive information from the real doc.
For example some problems I am running into are that I don't know how to remove the Heading 1 from text that I don't want to show up in the TOC.
Then, in another area I try to apply Heading 1 to the text, but then I lose the numbering.
Please see attached for more detail. Thanks for your help or any assistance you can provide.

great thanks.. now when I highlight the text
e.g. 3. Eligibility:
I can hange it to normal and then the #'ing goes away. why is that happening?

If normal does not have a numbering format associated with the style then on selection for a paragraph that style is applied in full.
I.e. if you want it like normal but numbered then create a new style for that. If you want the normal style numbered then you could make it so ... But I would still suggest you use a new style.
