Adding New Heading Levels

Word has 9 Heading levels. Is it possible to create more heading levels that will be pulled into the TOC when you generate it? I have a Heading Level 7 that is used for the Appendix sections and need to add sub heading levels within it. So Appendix C is Heading Level 7. Now want to add C.1, C.1.1, C1.1.1, etc. to nest under the Appendix C heading but the other heading levels are already being used for other Heading styles.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks ahead!

Unfortunately, no, you can't have more than nine levels. Are you using six levels in the main document? That's probably more than most readers can handle.

However, you can have styles other than the headings pulled into a TOC. You just have to tell the TOC options which styles you want and to which level to assign them. You can do it through the TOC options dialog or directly the TOC field switches and parameters.

Look at the /t switch. See TOC Field.
