Word 2010 - Table of Contents Capitalizing All Words in Header 2

Hi.  I am trying to create a document with a Table of Contents.  Most looks good, but the TOC is Capitalizing all of the text in my Heading 2 even though it is not typed that way in the document.  


This is test of the document


A.              You can easily change the formatting of selected text in the document text by choosing a look for the selected text from the Quick Styles gallery on the Home tab. You can also format text directly by using the other controls on the Home tab. Most controls offer a choice of using the look from the current theme or using a format that you specify directly.

B.              To change the overall look of your document, choose new Theme elements on the Page Layout tab. To change the looks available in the Quick Style gallery, use the Change Current Quick Style Set command. Both the Themes gallery and the Quick Styles gallery provide reset commands so that you can always restore the look of your document to the original contained in your current template.


This is what displays in TOC -- (Please ignore outline letter sequence)


  1. YOU CAN EASILY CHANGE THE FORMATTING OF SELECTED TEXT IN THE DOCUMENT TEXT BY CHOOSING A LOOK FOR THE SELECTED TEXT FROM THE QUICK STYLES GALLERY ON THE HOME TAB. YOU CAN ALSO FORMAT TEXT DIRECTLY BY USING THE OTHER CONTROLS ON THE HOME TAB. MOST CONTROLS OFFER A CHOICE OF USING THE LOOK FROM THE CURRENT THEME OR USING A FORMAT THAT YOU SPECIFY DIRECTLY............................................................................................................. 4

  2. TO CHANGE THE OVERALL LOOK OF YOUR DOCUMENT, CHOOSE NEW THEME ELEMENTS ON THE PAGE LAYOUT TAB. TO CHANGE THE LOOKS AVAILABLE IN THE QUICK STYLE GALLERY, USE THE CHANGE CURRENT QUICK STYLE SET COMMAND. BOTH THE THEMES GALLERY AND THE QUICK STYLES GALLERY PROVIDE RESET COMMANDS SO THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS RESTORE THE LOOK OF YOUR DOCUMENT TO THE ORIGINAL CONTAINED IN YOUR CURRENT TEMPLATE................................. 4



When I go to modify and select the TOC level for Heading 2, any setting for Capitalization is not set, nor is any font chosen that is only capital letters.


Any ideas how I can get my level to display correctly?


Assuming that the Heading 2 style is assigned to TOC Level 2, the TOC 2 style is probably formatted so that the Font is All Caps.
Hope this helps,

Thank you for your reply, but I cannot find any style or font setting that is being used for all capital letters, so I don't believe that is the cause of my problem.

The All caps setting is under the Font settings in the Effects section.

1.  In the Styles pane, right click on the TOC 2 style and select Modify.

2.  Click on Format and then click on Font.

3.  Uncheck All caps

Well I know it's a little bit late for this topic, but I had the same problem just recently, and found this post with no definite answer, or at least not clear enough, the steps for correcting this issue are:

1.  First of all select the Refences tab - Table of Contents - Customized ToC...

2.  In the ToC window, select Modify, which opens the Style window

3.  In the Style window, you will find all your styles, select (in this case) the TOC 2 style and select again Modify.

4. This leads you again to the  Modify Style window, select Format - Font and therein, you will indeed find the All Caps box checked.

4. Uncheck it and there you go.

Regards!
