FAQ

I set a heading, but it does not appear in the table of contents. Why?

  1. Confirm that the paragraph uses a heading style instead of only manual font changes such as size or bold formatting.
  2. Check whether the heading is in the main body area. Headings inside highlighted blocks and tables do not appear in the table of contents.
  3. Make sure the document already uses a table of contents and refresh it when needed.

How should I choose heading levels?

  1. Use H1 for the document title or the highest-level heading.
  2. Use H2 for section headings and H3 for subsection headings.
  3. In most cases, 2 to 3 levels are enough to keep the structure readable.

Can I change the level of an existing heading?

  1. Select the paragraph that already uses a heading style.
  2. Open the floating toolbar, ribbon, or another heading entry again.
  3. Switch to a new heading level, and the style and table-of-contents level will update with it.
