Question

No heading 1 in generated TOC

Hi everyone,

When I generate a Word document (Word 2013) from RoboHelp 11, headings 1 are missing from my TOC, and TOC only includes headings 2 and 3.

Could anyone help me solve this issue?

Thanks!

Note the Maintain Heading Levels option in the layout. See if that fixes it.

Peter, thank you for answering so fast! Unfortunately, this did not solve my issue. Maybe I did not state it very clear, so I'll attach the screenshots this time. The first image shows TOC I get after generating the document from RoboHelp (without heading 1), and the second image shows the TOC I'd like to have after generating the doc (with heading 1), but I need to update TOC manually for heading 1 to show up. (References > Table of Contents > Custom Table of Contents). So, in the second image - Sprint cycle is heading 1 that is missing from TOC.

I have had to use RoboHelp 2015 and Word 2016 for this test but I don't think that will have affected the results.

With Maintain HTML Heading Levels unchecked I see this:

With Maintain HTML Heading Levels checked I see this:

In both cases the book title is shown. I assume Sprint Cycle in your image is a book title.

You said you need to update the TOC manually for Heading 1 to appear but all your topics will have Heading 1 and that is showing. All that is not showing is the book title rather than the heading level. Please explain more about what you are having to do here. Alternatively, can you send the project where you are seeing the problem? I am assuming you are having the same problem with this demo as if not, the test is invalid.

Yes, you're right, Sprint cycle is the book title in my project and it does not appear in the generated doc.

To sum up, the problem is that the book title Sprint cycle (on the image) or Sample project (in the project I sent you) does not show up in my TOC in the generated Word document. And it does not depend on whether the option Maintain HTML Heading Levels is selected or not.
