When using Chapter Title, the most common questions fall into 3 areas: table-of-contents recognition, heading hierarchy, and heading updates; this FAQ also includes a short glossary.

FAQ

I applied a heading, but it does not appear in the table of contents. What should I do?

  1. Make sure the paragraph uses a formal heading style instead of only manual font size or bold changes.
  2. Check whether the heading is placed in the main body area of the document.
  3. If a table of contents has already been inserted, update it and check the result again.

How should I choose heading levels?

  1. Use H1 for the main document title.
  2. Use H2 for major sections.
  3. Use H3 for subsections, and continue to H4-H6 only when deeper structure is needed.

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 different heading level, and the style will update.
