Import MS Word RTF : TOC Issue

Unread post by percytts »

Hi.
I am trying to import an RTF files that has Heading Settings as my TOC for MS Word.
Once I import it, the TOC does not show the correct sequence.
Is there a format that I need to change?

Sample Format:

Heading 1
Heading 2
Heading 3
Heading 3

Link images shows more detail.

Hi Percy,

Welcome to the forum!

This will be caused by the styles used for your headings in your Word file. The levels of the topics in the TOC hierarchy are defined by the Heading 1 ... Heading 6 styles used in Word. You can either change the style settings in Word and re-import, or if there are just a few of them just move them around in your TOC after importing. To do this just drag them with the mouse, or use the blue arrow topic level tools in Project > Manage Topics.

Thank you Tim.
I currently looking at the Style settings that I did in word and you are right, this could be a style issue.
I will try to clear the format and start from there and see what will be compatible.
Last option is to create / move the TOC in H&M.
I appreciate it.
