pls help!

RE: table in a document

Hi Alnoor,

Thank you for your question. It seems that the unwanted text in your Table of Contents has been formatted with a Heading Style (e.g. Heading 1, Heading 2 or Heading 3) - text with heading styles appear in the Table of Contents.

If you can locate the unwanted text inside the document, select it and change it to the Normal Style. You will find all the styles in the Home Ribbon.

Afterwards, go back to the Table of Contents and click on it. At the top, you will see a tab which says 'Update Table'. Click that, then click 'Update entire table'.

Hopefully this will remove the unwanted text from your Table of Contents.

I hope this helps. If you have any further issues, please use the forum again to ask for support.

Kind regards
Marius Barnard

Word tip:

Selecting objects from behind text

If you are working with an image in Word that you have chosen to send behind the document text, it can be difficult to actually select the image once it is positioned behind text.

To get around this you can click the 'Select Objects' (white arrow) button on the Drawing toolbar. This should make it easier to select the image.

Once you have finished manipulating the image, click on the 'Select Objects' button again (or press the Esc key) to be able to work with text in the document again.
