RE: Table of contents

Hi Kim

Thank you for your question.

This might have something to do with the application of heading styles in your document - if all three headings (Introduction, Chapter 1, Chapter 2) all have the same style applied (e.g. Heading 1 style) they should all align with each other in the table of contents.

If you change the heading style applied to any of these headings so they are all using the same style, remember to use F9 to update your Table of Contents so you can see the change to how these are displayed.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Word tip:

Change the default font in Word

The default settings for all new documents created in Word are stored in the Normal template, Normal.dot.

To change the font for the Normal template, start a new document then go to Format - Font.

Change the font settings to reflect the font and font size you would like to use in future in most or all of your documents.

Click the Default button in the bottom left-hand corner of the Font dialogue box. Click Yes when the message associated with the font change appears on your screen.

You have now changed the default font for all new documents created from this point forward.
