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:

Now you see it, now you don't - hidden text in Word

Did you know you can choose to temporarily hide text in a Word document? The text is still part of the document, but it won't appear on screen unless you choose to have it displayed.

Here's how:

1. Highlight (select) the text you wish to hide.

2. Go to Format - Font.

3. In the Effects section of the Font dialogue box, tick 'Hidden'.

4. Click OK.

The portion of text you have chosen to hide should no longer be visible on your screen, unless you have the Show/Hide button turned on.

If you can see the hidden text in your document, and you haven't got the Show/Hide button turned on then:

1. Go to Tools - Options - View.

2. Under the 'Formatting marks' section, deselect Hidden text.

5. Click OK.
