Adding to contents in a document
I have Contents in a document. I have 1.2.1.1 then 1.2.1.2 and then 1.2.1.3 and so on. I added new stuff in between 1.2.1.1 and 1.2.1.2 so I renamed 1.2.1.2 to 1.2.1.5 and so on. However, when I right-click on Contents then Update Field and then Update entire table, it doesn't update the contents to include the new 1.2.1.2 etc. I am using MS Word 2010. In the picture below, it doesn't include
1.2.1.2 X
1.2.1.3 Y
1.2.1.4 Z
in the Contents. Any help would be appreciated.

unless you are using Word 2010 Heading styles, then these new entries will not be automatically added to the Table of Contents...

How do I use Word 2010 Heading styles? That is, what do I have to do so that the document sees these news ones as part of the Contents?
are you generating the table of contents automatically?
are you modifying an existing document created by another person or did you create the original document?

ASKER
This is an existing document that I am modifying. I am not sure what you mean by generating the table of contents automatically. I right-click on the Table of Contents, when the "Update Table of Contents" window pops up, I check on "Update entire table" and click on OK. Typically, if any new items have been added in the document, they get added to the document automatically.
